Sadly, I have been paying these year on year cost increases for over 30 years. You obviously don't have any answers or maybe you are a congressman on a cadillac scheme.

Don't let that bother you.

It's also unconstitutional for the U.S. to go to war without a declaration of war by Congress, but we did it anyway.

After all, "It's just a goddamned piece of paper". Ask George if you don't believe it.

Mine have to. Can you show me where the cost containment is in this law?

What was done to control costs? What was done to increase both quality and availability of care?

Clue: Nothing, nada, zip.

What was done to grow the size of government under Obamacare? Approx. 77 new agencies + staffing. Someone has to pay those salaries....the taxpayer gets shafted again.

You really don't know what happens to those people who provide employee coverage, do you? I will believe their taxes will go down when January gets here. I am sure that you don't know what happens to the poor slobs who get those breaks. They get to pay income taxes on all the money that is paid into their health care by those small business men. My sons' employer has already told them this part.

Something interesting. My 25 year old son, who has his own insurance through his work, is now back on my policy. Makes no sense.
