We protested the war in the streets and had things thrown at us and were called unpatriotic traders because we didn't believe that politically and financially the Iraq War was a good thing to get involved in. The president lied, or was stupid enough to not realize, there were no WMDs and no connection between Saddam and Osama. The administration fumbled the entire occupation phase and what resulted was tens of thousands of dead people by our guns and almost a trillion dollars of American tax payer money. It's considered one of the greatest political blunders in modern history, and I still have yet to hear you conservatives apologize for dragging us into that mess with you and making us pay taxes for it.

Now it's our turn. We believe in something that you claim is naive, costly and simply won't work. And maybe it is. But just like the war, politicians on both sides of the table voted for it, so that means for better or for worse, we're all in this together, because that's what nations do. So suck it up, be patriotic, and quit crying and complaining and acting like you're a victim. You conservatives have been wussified. No one feels sorry for you. The law isn't going anywhere. It makes us laugh and smile everytime you start a thread or write a post about how miserable the health care act is making your life. We hope it pangs you for many years to come. Please keep us informed on how angry this law makes you. Keep telling us about your hard earned tax dollars being spent. We want more horror stories about what it is doing to your insurance policy. Realize this is your karma coming back to haunt you. You are reaping exactly what you sewed since the financial cost of the war and ACA are about the same after a 10 year period. And you're actually getting a sweet deal on moral karma, since you killed legions of Iraqi women and children and sent thousands of our young troops to die for nothing...and all you get in return is a bump in your premium and maybe a plan change.

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye." ~Jesus

Wars end, maybe not soon enough, but nonetheless the financial drain can be halted. Once an entitlement starts it is a forever exspense because people very quickly see it as their right.

You are comparing two wars and their horrendous costs, both monetarily and lives and limbs lost to providing vital healthcare to Americans?

And we even have to wonder what is so very wrong and perverse in this country?

Military spending and protecting the country are enumerated in the Constitution.

Health insurance is not.

Lighten up Francis!

Also, wars eventually end. This new entitlement will hurt the country forever.

So wait...it was ok for you to protest in the street. ***** and moan about the war, and still expect an apology. But we have to suck it up and take the ACA? Can't we do what you did?

Defending the country is a constitutional right, stealing money to heal the people isn't.

No no. The authorization to use military force put the decisions in the hands of the Republican Bush. Do not blame the Democrats for the bad decisions of Republicans. Blame Republicans. Republicans seem to think Republicans aren't to blame for failing, that it's the Democrats who are to blame for allowing the right to fail.
