Amen ZGACK! Let these libs insult everyone with their demeaning and sarcastic innuendo as if the libs are the only ones with a brain. If you disagree with them, then you must be just plain stupid. They feel that the louder they scream and the more insults they hurl at anyone with a different viewpoint...then the more righteous their argument. This government BS of more programs and more fines,taxes,fees etc etc will blow up in their faces in 2010&2012. This will come full circle and bite them hard in the coming elections. What they dont fully get...is that people vote their pocketbooks....when they feel they are being squeezed...well then out with the old and in with the new. Why do you think repubs lost in 08? Iraq lies and huge expenditures. Economy in the tank and rising fuel costs and everyone being squeezed like a lemon!

John McCain wasn't so charismatic as Obama bt at least he spoke the truth...Obama told the public tht the $ 1,000.- was just something McCan came up with, but now it seems to be true. Just like all other Obama lies...

In Fl. the cigarette tax went up $ 1.- for one packet....Which means a lot for the lower and middle class people who smoke the most. I agree with all others who will say "stop smoking" and I'm not a smoker and never was and no one in my family is a smoker, some are astmatic and can't even stand it or they get sick...but it is about the promiss Obama made.

Now he comes up with the "one stamp cost" per day which isat least $ 160.- a year...on top of the cigarette tax and the tax raises are coming and coming...

I hope the public will vote in 2010 with their brains and not with their kool aid mind..!

Who do you think winds up paying for that?

Stop being dead beats wingnuts!
What are some people supposed to do, when they simply can not afford insurance, due to either cost or being denied for a pre-existing condition?

Just at 3% interest (enough to keep up with inflation) you'd be forking over $1000 per Month. That's not even paying down the principal...LOL

Cable bill my ass!

A payment is a payment, no matter how small or large.

The problem is that medical costs are WAY too expensive. Seriously, it should NOT cost 1K+ to get a cast in the ER.

I have a qustion for anyone who knows the details of this plan. I am unhappy with my health insurance program at work. Starting this year there is a $1000 deductable. I am paying arounf 100 a month for this insurance but now I never go to the doctor because I don't want to pay the deductable. If this health program passes woud I have the option of dumping my employee insurance and buying the federal insurance?

do you know why the emergency room bills are so high? because democrats introduced a bill that guaranteed everyone treatment in the emergency room, WHETHER THEY COULD PAY OR NOT, so all americans are subsidizing emergency room treatment. pete stark, the democratic congressional representative for alameda county introduced EMTALA in 1986, which then passed, guaranteeing that all americans would be paying more for emergency room care.


now they plan to do it again, forcing all americans to subsidize insurance for everybody, thereby guaranteeing that all americans will be paying more for insurance.


OUR GOVERNMENT NEVER LEARNS!!!!

Most people who use the emergency room are not illegals.
