It doesnt get insurance to everyone.Even congress version doesnt get insurance to everyone. The senate version is just forcing people to buy insurance.
Sorry, I should of phrased it differently. It attempts to make it easier for everyone to have access to insurance. It is impossible to get everyone healthcare unless we move to a umbrella plan for everyone to have which is not a good idea.

You do realize that six months or a year is very, very short for a jobs rebound in a recession. Take a look at the unemployment numbers after the 1929 crash which is the closest we ever been to something like this. It took years and years before jobs starting get back to normal. This recession only started a little over a year ago. The fact that we are even starting to see improvement in a lot of areas is a god damn miracle. I read reports at this time last year that said unemployment could be around 10% until at least the year 2015. Being that we are well on our way to rebounding at the beginning is miraculous. We have become an instant gratification society because of technology and have quickly forgotten how slowly some things can move.

Things getting worse? That's is what is laughable. I work in financial services and can very much assure you that things are getting much better. Everyday I see positive reports from all sectors in the industry.

I dont give a **** what they want. Do you know who pays for health care for those that dont have insurance?
The taxpayers. That means if someone doesnt want to pay a premium for health insurance and they get in a car wreck. You and I are helping pay for their care. I pay $350 a paycheck to have coverage for my family and dont really care to pay for someone else.

It isnt just about getting insurance. It is about making a more efficient healthcare system and making insurance companies more reasonable. I use to work in insurance and they are a complete rip-off and make money hand over fist.
I will give you an example. My in-laws who are in good health pay $800 a month for coverage. That's not too bad but listen to what it covers. After they pay $5,000 out of pocket for expenses, the coverage kicks in and covers a whopping 60% of expenses.
Let me break that down for you - They have to pay $14,600 out of pocket before their coverage even starts doing anything and even then it only pays 60% of their expenses!
Basically, they only have coverage in case one of them gets cancer or in some serious accident.
They've tried to get better coverage and cant because my father-in-law had a bump removed several years ago that turned out to be nothing.
Can you honestly tell me that this isnt a problem. We are the most powerful country on earth but have one of the worst health care systems in the entire civilized world.
How can I throw someone under the bus when I have no idea who they are, have never spoken to them in my life, have no connection to them whatsoever? Do you even understand that statement? So you only like 15 mins. fame wh*res if they turn against liberals or democrats. Other than that, we can do w/out them. Gotcha. How predictable.
Not really. I thought they threw Colin Powell under the bus as well. Obamagirl had 15,000,000 views on her youtube page, and her voice influenced the "sexy" vote for Obama. You may not know who she is, but that doesn't mean she didn't believe in him before. Please, continue calling her a wh*re because she's no longer a true believer.
I have a twitter account. I sometimes search twitters tweets to see what people are saying. The other day I searched Obama know what majority of the post dealing with Obama was about him telling Khole Kardashian he watches her show.

I could care less if she was a McCain supporter, an Obama supporter or a Ronald McDonald supporter, a nobody is a nobody & everyone, I'm betting even YOU call them 15 minute famewh*res. It has nothing to do w/politics, no matter how much you may close your little eyes tightly & wish upon a star.

If Americans spent as much time focusing on what their gov is doing as they do on what those in hollywood are doing we might get someplace
