Screw the crooks in CONgress.

I will no longer cooperate with our government.

I will no longer bow to a corrupt system.

I will boycott 100% the mandatory healthcare insurance payments.

I will boycott payment of all income tax to the IRS.

If and when they come to arrest me for breaking their fraudulent laws, they will have to shoot me.

I refuse to be chained (handcuffed) and locked in a cage (prison), like an animal.

Goodbye, to "the home of the brave."

I have to ask... and think about this.... If GEORGE BUSH and the Republicans pushed this exact identical plan 3 years ago... would YOU SUPPORT IT? Think about that, the Bush plan calls for everyone to HAVE to buy insurance from an insurance company..... OR get fined or go to jail! Cutting Medicare to pay for it.... Doing backroom deals and bribes to get the votes... YOU ALL WOULD BE GOING FREEKING CRAZY and what's worse, you know it but won't admit it.

That is what I really don't get from you guys... A Bill is a Bill, doesn't matter if a R or a D is pushing it... crap is crap.

hey look, obama did something

Quelle Grand Suprise!

Come on Jam, this is no time for rational thought!

All kidding aside, I am very glad to see this moving forward. There will be a #load of tweaking in the coming months, which is definitely needed, but all in all it is a step in the right direction. I know I'm in the minority here with these sentiments, but I stand by my opinion.

To those who find this the final straw, please just do us all a favor and get the hell out of this country. You don't want us, we don't need you. It's a win-win for all!

Yea this exactly what is the problem. We are so polarized in this country that we will swallow anything from the ones that we wanted in. Quite disturbing if you think about it. So much for denying ignorance i guess.

LOL, doom is certain now. This is going to drive people further into doing something desperate and crazy when they can't afford to pay for this crap either. Today I feel horribly embarrassed to be a human being. What a despicable species. I'm gonna whack the next damn one that tries to jump on my back or pick my pockets! I've had enough!

i have supported health care reform since the start... Is this what i expected to see last summer no... but its a start and if some human lives can be saved because they have health insurance that the would not have without this bill i say cheers... it still needs a lot of work tho...

I have one word: Yaaay!!!

The reconciliation package was passed too. That means a number of necessary changes will be added.

Not a perfect bill, by any means, but the beginning of what should be a human right of every citizen: adequate health care. Also better health overall, because so many people will now be able to afford more frequent check-ups and that will strengthen preventive care.

This will only get humongously expensive for all of us. In the past, those without health insurance only went to seek medical treatment if they had an actual medical emergency or condition requiring immediate attention. Now that everyone will be insured, paying a fix cost, they won't blink an eye going to the doctor over every little aliment. You'll have hoards more neeeeeding anti-depressants. Hoards more wanting pills to control their cholesterol instead of having to change their diet and exercise. You'll have horny nasty old men making YOU pay for their viagra. You'll have a huge drain on all medical resources. There will be long lines now .. even at the emergency rooms. There will be waiting lists for surgery.

Everyone will be worse off because of this, whereas only a few were worse off before. This will also mean more money from ALL OF YOU (directly or through the cost of things you buy). Money is already pretty tight for many right now. I don't have health insurance right now myself, but if I must get some, I'm going to use and abuse the heck out of it, ha. I'll go in for a physical every year whether I feel like I need it or not. Gonna get me some of them happy pills too. Some of those horny pills also, ha. I'm going to start eating worse now and rely more on wonder pills and by-pass surgery. I'm going to smoke more now too. Heck, I'm going to get me one of those electric scooters too so I won't have to walk around so much, ha. Oh yeah, this is all great alright. And I'm going to make you all pay for it.

This is the first good news I have heard from south of the border for years. Now the U.S. can finally catch up to Canada and its superior socialist system.

I honestly don't understand how people can support this. The people who don't have insurance don't have it because they either don't want it, or can't afford it. How exactly is forcing people to buy it going to make them suddenly able to afford it?

Criminals! Were not paying. Send us all to prison. Bye.

YAY healthcare reform!
YAY Democrats FINALLY standing up to the GOP
YAY Fearmongers did not win!

It's not a perfect bill, but it's a good start.

There's your problem. You think it should be a "right" just as the "Bill of Rights" constitutes. Inalienable rights are given to us by our Maker, Creator, God, etc. As for athiests... it's the rights you're born with. Personal rights. Health care is a product. A consumer good. A luxury. If you don't have the money for great health care, there is medicare and medicaid (government run.... yeah, that's working out well!) Doctors, hospitals, nurses, etc. cannot turn you away in an emergency. Health insurance is a privilege, not a right. God didn't create us with automatic health care... He created us with free will. This bill cuts that out. I'm now forced to take health care weather I want it or not. This is B.S.!!!
