So People have a right, to Come to their Senses. You know how many people i know who voted for OBAMA for something more, things he promised, he cannot and never will deliver, my friends, who did vote for him, cannot stand the site of him at all any more, he did this to himself.

You should be careful who you call a minion.

Agreed. If it were just Obama, or just Pelosi, or just Reid, or just this one, or that one, or another one, I could get it. But it's all of them put together. Someone who dislikes all the Democratic politicians out there is no Democrat.

Thank you for your honesty, too bad more cannot be honest as you. So many of my friends who voted for this clown, are totally fed up, he has them fed up, they said there quote, he suckered us once, but no more, enough is just enough. Sorry but people have had it, and know that GOOD CHANGE AND HOPE will never come. Change and Hope will be something we have never expected, and it is happening now.

A REPORT FROM THE SCOTT BROWN RALLY AT WORCESTER: “It’s an absolute mob scene. The police have closed off the streets. It’s mind blowing. The hall is already full, and it holds 3,000 people. There may be another 1,000 people outside.”

Like the 100,000 Tea Partiers?? Show a reliable estimate, not an anonymous report.

And just who would you consider a reliable source. I have a funny feeling no matter who reported this you would just find a reason to dispute it. You need to open your eyes and see that with his latest approval ratings that this is not only possible but more likely probable.

So if someone doesn't like Obama, they're noble, decent, and honest people; if they like Obama, they're idiots. Do I have that right?

Either way he had far more then the Presidunce who should have had a million people according to his followers.

Brown had more people in the bathroom then Obama had in the hallway!!!

Wait until Tuesday, we will see who wins and then you can start making excuses and not understanding that Obama was defeated in this race.

If he is in the dire straits you claim he is in then he will be able to get 100% subsidy.

As far as the people you know who go to the ER if something happens because they do not have insurance. You just established one of the reasons insurance costs, and what not or so out of control. Now first of all for those who do not have insurance it means they lack access to preventative care. Now having access to preventative care typically makes someone more vulnerable to illness and disease. That in turn increases the cost of treating those without insurance compared to treating those with insurance. Secondly, those without access to the preventative care, when they do get sick, when they do get a disease or an illness its often caught later than someone who has access to insurance. The later an illness, disease, etc is caught the more expensive it is to treat, and if it happened to be a serious illness or disease the later something is caught the more fatal it is.

I can somewhat understand where you are coming from with the people being forced to have insurance. However, those who can't afford it will get the help they need in the form of subsidies. Also the reason that language is in the bill is due to the tremendous strain those without insurance put on the system. First off as I said those without insurance are more expensive to treat than those with it. Secondly, it isn't as simple as going to the ER, and having the ER write it off if you can't afford it. Many bankruptcies and foreclosures are a direct result of those who fell behind due to massive medical costs. This has a direct impact on the economy Third, for those who do get the ER just to write it off, where do you think that $$ is recouped from. For one some hospitals have had to close due to the financial shape it was in for this very reason. In other cases hospitals have needed to be bailed out by state and local governments. This can lead to increased taxes on that level, as well as cuts in services to other areas that may have needed it as well as deficits in local and state governments. It also has a direct impact on the costs of insurance. It makes it more difficult for someone who has insurance to pay for it and keep the insurance, and it makes it even more difficult for the person who wants the insurance, but can't afford it

Not only are those without insurance or without adequate insurance more likely to wind up with diseases and illnesses but what they do get results in a greater chance of it being fatal and/ or much more costly to treat due to it typically being found later Aside from that and the moral aspects about having access to quality health care, the uninsured impacts the lives of not only those without insurance, but it also has a massive negative impact on every part of our economy.

Never denied that. People express their obsession.....I mean displeasure....with our president all the time on this forum.
