That seems to be the most common misconception I have encountered out in the real world. I'd say 80% of the populace has no idea exactly how this whole mess will turn out. They haven't taken the time to inform themselves, so they just take whatever the network cheerleaders say and run with it. And some how, the pep talk has been translated to mean "free healthcare" to a large group of Americans. They truly have no idea. But they continue to wave their Obama banner, trusting that Obama will be paying for everything out of his "personal stash". It's actually kind of sickening to listen to these people talk, because nothing comes out of their mouth that would even give you the slightest hint that they actually knew what they were talking about. They just think this is gonna be a free ride for everybody except the top few percent. Can't wait to see them squirm when they find out they have a new bill to pay, with no job to provide the money. And then they get to the ER, and get to wait in the lines to find out if their problem warrants attention. It's gonna be a great adventure folks, and we are all along for the ride. Well, everyone but the government officials who are going to pass this farce. They will still have their top of the line coverage. God Bless America!

AeroGuyDC likes to insinuate that anyone to the left of Gengis Khan is an idiot, it is his way of calling you stupid.

I thought it was generally understood how the legislative process works here in America. With questions like these, I certainly don't need any help spotting those those that came out en masse to vote for Obama in 2008.

I am well informed on the legislative process. The OP is clearly not. This has nothing to do with Obama except in your feverish delusional mind.
