I absolutely agree and the only thing i can say about the whole mean and stingy thing, is yeah i work 40 hrs + a week so that i can provide for my family ... not for someone else who doesnt have enough initiative to provide for themselves... worst part is every paycheck i get is spent before it reaches the bank... If i have to pay for health care for me and my wife were screwed id lose my house... and without a legit place to live i will lose my job too... You can call me ill willed and evil and mean... but I don't support this bill because it would literally mean id be digging my own grave.
WASHINGTON (Nov. 8) – The glow from a health care triumph faded quickly for President Barack Obama on Sunday as Democrats realized the bill they fought so hard to pass in the House has nowhere to go in the Senate.
The problem is that the Senate won't run with it. The government health insurance plan included in the House bill is unacceptable to a few Democratic moderates who hold the balance of power in the Senate.
If a government plan is part of the deal, "as a matter of conscience, I will not allow this bill to come to a final vote," said Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Connecticut independent whose vote Democrats need to overcome GOP filibusters.
"The House bill is dead on arrival in the Senate," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said dismissively.

Looks like The Senate, for the most part, has already made up their minds on this new Healthcare Bill.
Something deffinately needs to be done about health care and spending, but not at the expense that this new bill is going to cost us Americans.

If i were Harry Reid, i would reduce the Senate Health Care Bill
to only 1 page. Tort Reform and everybody gets 1 bottle of
Tylenol. Joe Lieberman could look at that and think "Wow, that
looks harmless enough."
I'm sure Joe would see that when the Senate bill is merged with
the PelosiCare in reconciliation........OOPS! here comes the Public Option /
Canadian Health Care System.... Quick ! race this to the rose
garden at the White House so Obama can sign it!!!
Am i close?

Hell, I will take the jail myself. 3 square meals a day. Get to work out as much as I want. I can sit in there and study while obtaining a degree.
I can get a side job like washing dishes or making liscence plates so I donot get bored. Make plenty of wonderful friends who are of like minded ideals.
One thing that I am sure isgoing to disappoint those on the outside, is that it is going to cost them moer for keeping me in jail, than it would be for this whole healthcare crap. Its really bass-ackwards, but hey, whatever makes them sleep at night knowing Im not running around the streets screaming freedom(they really dont want that).

And you must have misunderstood me , i dont have healthcare becuase i cant afford it right now... i choose not to spend the money i dont have, but your heroes Pelosi and B.O. will make me pay one way or another
yeah i did the math ... i can be homeless and have coverage or like im doing
now pay off my student and home loans and still have food on the table... As well you think its goi9ng to cost less to have the government run healthcare? you seriously misunderstand the government ... 400 dollar hammers ring a bell?
You can say whatever you like but in the end people will end up homeless because of this bill if it passes.
But hey maybe your one of the few who can afford to pay for someone else... donate to a charity then.

In order to save money some prisoners could "accidentally" be
given a fatal vaccine shot. That was tragic but don't bother
suing us. We are the government.

That would not be Tort Reform

I kinda remember that post but I don't remember you showing anything... You gave an opinion if I remember that post... To say every penny will be spent to pay for healthcare and nothing else... by every person in the United States... is just so stupid on so many levels its not even worth considering. and reads like more shameless propaganda that no one can ever take seriously. And that's probably why no one commented on it... Sorry that is just how I see it.

Today, the average cost of a family health insurance offered by an employer is $13,375. That's up 131% over the last decade—a period in which inflation rose only 28%. And one estimate says that if costs continue on their current trajectory, premiums will go up another 166% in the decade ahead.
