Houses Healthcare Bill Calls Mentally Handicapped, Retarded

I shouldn't be surprised, coming from team Obama, but I am. Then again this is the man that called his bowling game something out of the Special Olympics.

The proposed health-insurance bill from the House of Representatives refers to mentally disabled people as "retarded" -- a term advocates, relatives and physicians find outdated and offensive.

The bill refers to: "A hospital or a nursing facility or intermediate-care facility for the mentally retarded . . ."

I thought Liberals were supposed to be all about equality. I thought the Democrats were the party that was supposed to "Level the playing field" for everyone. All they are doing is showing their true colors. They are nothing more then a bunch of clowns and need to be voted out in 2010.

And to the Dems, If you cant win by calling this Healthcare. What makes you think changing the name to Health Insurance Reform is going to do anything.
