Praise God I am so very relieved and happy for these families. They are the ones that fell through the cracks for Medicaid for their minor children with pre-conditions because they "make too much household income".

I do not think God would accept the blame for compulsory labor for the benefit of another.

Remember, voluntary charity is a blessing.
Compulsory charity is a curse.

As opposed to liberals who would rather of just aborted her..

btw, I wonder if the mom will be forced to drop her own care because of the costs increases coming as a result of the bill..

where I work we cannot get enough people to work here. guess not many people want a job these days that only pays 21.65 an hour and offers health care insurance as well.

Very well said!

Our insurance premiums have also increased. Being a small/medium size business owner, I cannot consider hiring due to this terrible adminstration. Health insurance costs, taxes, there is just too much uncertainty.

At least the Fed gov is giving waivers and exemptions so that people who are insured can stay insured. Boy has this thing backfired.

And hundreds of thousands are seeing their premiums set to rise.....because of obamacare.

Hundreds of thousands of seniors will be booted out of MedicareAdv...because of obamacare.

Hundreds of thousands will NOT be able to keep their current plans that they like....thanks to obamacare.

There IS a reason none of the dems are talking about this wonderful accomplishment of theirs on the campaign trail.
