They have no idea what they just did.

True....people cheering for this don't really know what is gonna happen to them and their elderly loved ones. They are cheering a political thing.

No. They practically wrote the bill. Their stocks are going through the roof for a reason. The gov't vs the insurance companies fraud is a PR campaign that you have easily fallen for.

Oh lordy....the national IQ just dropped a few points.

Yes, we can now afford to give everyone free education loans over 10-20 years. Why not??

Everyone has an opinion, unfortunately very few of them are based on any sound information, let alone make any rational sense.
The money will come from the same place all the free health care money comes from. China. The better question is, what happens when China decides to stop loaning us money for free health care and tuition???
It's going to be a long, hard road when we have to start paying for all of these freebies.

Since when was, "Saying NO", ever called, doing something?

Things sure have changed..

Well, I am assuming that the OB in OB-HC is for obstetrics.

In which case, I would hope that the ADOPTIVE PARENTS of the baby would assist the mother in her medical care until the baby is born.

Since IMHO a person with no money and no job does not need to be bringing children SHE CANNOT CARE FOR into the world, KWIM?

Sorry, I should have spelled it out. OB = OBAMA.
