This whole post is one big massive lie. I do feel badly for your brother, many people in this country are in a similar situation. However, just like the others in a similar financial situation he would be MUCH better off if this bill passes. He would actually have the opportunity to get insurance for himself, subsidies would help pay for what he isn't able to afford.

yes georgia dem those were the numbers for the coakley rally.

the place was 100 percent packed with overflow by 1000 people, meaning they were turned away.

scott brown had 2000 at his rally.

again, going with the herald, conservative newspaper.

Very true; overflow crowd at Northeastern for Obama, had to turn many away...

This is what you get for relying on the Herald on "facts"...:

You're absolutely right, Smash; he would be BETTER off with Obama's plan, rather than trying to find a plan with a private insurer, who would charge him some outrageous price, or deny him coverage altogether..

well, then change your name then. i've been reading your posts for well over a year and have NEVER seen a post in favor of any Democrat. You're not being truthful.

only if subsidies can pay 100 percent will he be able to afford it...thanks for the thought....even before i got fired i worked at a pizza place and a big majority of people there did not have insurance because they simply couldnt afford "any" extra costs at all....alot of people i know just head to the ER when it gets too serious of a health problem "not just a cut or cold or something"..and then they dont pay the bill because they dont have the money and they know the hospital will usually write it off.....i myself dont have health insurance either...hell i dont have a job and have only unemployment money coming in so i definatly cant afford it either with the other stuff i need to pay for with that little amount of unemployment...i have been looking for jobs everywhere in my area seriously and no one has hours right now...so im kinda stuck...but the main reason im against the bill is because of the abortion factor and it just doesnt make sense that they would fine someone or lock someone up who doesnt have medical insurance ....it just seems off to me that people would have thier votes for sale in congress too...and i hear that ben nelson is actually having second thoughts now about accepting the help for his vote so all this just adds up and doesnt seem right to me..and they should have been more out in the open with the public during the debates.
