Obama’s Campaign for Health Care Reform Comes Full Circle

This bill totally takes away the freedom of all the American people! It just sickens me that our forefathers faught in so many wars to win America's freedom and now we are just letting it slip away! What if I or someone else at that didn't want health care! Now I don't have the freedom of choice! This is the STUPIDEST thing the government has ever done for this country! We are already in so much debt there isn't any funding available for the bill to be paid for! The government isn't really thinking about the benefit of the American people!

Please stop repeating the lies you have been fed. If you have a doctor, you keep him. No one is forcing you to do anything. The Mandate (which was a Republican idea) no longer punishes anyone if they don't join.

So, my take on your comment is that you would rather pay and be victimized by the HII? Are you rich? If not, you would have eventually become a victim of the HII's arbitrary policies of denying coverage, exhorbitant premiums and dropping you from coverage for something so stupid as a hangnail, were it not for this reform.

The truth is there are Republican measures all through the law. The GOP roundly voted no on their OWN measures. You want to complain, do it to the Republicans. THEY don't give two s**ts about you, your family or any other American.

There is cost containment within the law as well. it reduces the national burden for healthcare. It reduces the deficit.

I don't know where and by whom you get your news, but you have repeated the same lies we've heard for a year, now. Stop complaining. the benefits will become clear, and everything you've heard and been spoon-fed will be proven demonstrably false.

Personally, I'm glad that no more Americans will be victimized by an industry that cares more about profit than human life, which is surreal because they are in the BUSINESS of saving lives. Seems they lost sight of their purpose because of a piece of paper.

Lastly, it doesn't curtail your freedom. There's another lie. Unless you feel that any company or business of any kind has the right to kill you for their own aims, which I can guarantee you, don't measure up to the cost of your life!

It was a lot of fun watching these idiotic Republicans “warning” the Democrats that the passage of health care reform will cost them dearly at the polls in November. It’s going to cost someone dearly, alright, but it won’t be the Dems. Former Bush 43 speechwriter Davin Frum put it perfectly yesterday when he said that it was the Republicans – not Barack Obama – who had met their “Waterloo”. The historical rule of politics, that an incumbent president’s party always loses ground in the midterm elections, will go out the window come November. They will be unable to win without the help of the moderates. At this moment the moderates are abandoning this sinking ship en masse. The extremism of people like Michele Bachmann and John Beohner is starting to scare the hell out of them. Gee, I wonder why!

Then there is the sticky situation of the Tea Party. By this late point it must be obvious to even the casual observer that this is an organization comprised of morons. It was formed as a protest movement against high taxes – immediately after President Obama passed the largest middle class tax cut in American history. There’s no denying it, these are not the brightest people on the planet. Their overt racism notwithstanding, they sure are funny! One self identified Tea Partier called into C-SPAN’s Washington Journal the other day asking the moderator where she could write to her congressman. When host Greta Brawner asked this idiotic woman what her congressman’s name was, she replied (I assume with a straight face) “He’s a Democrat. I don’t know his name.” Ya gotta love ‘em! Ya just gotta!
