So far, the people on the left haven't told us one truthful thing about it yet.

We'll open our ears, dems. Just tell us.

Obama is planning on formulating immigration reform..I have no idea what "Obama Amnesty" is..Please provide details.

Nooo,I am a proud...future American & I have no ties to either my...ex-nation or to my soon to be ex homeland...

If u refer to Goldman Sachs helping the greek gov "cook the books ",the GR gov is guilty,GS did its job & offered a legal service...

On the subject,unfortunately I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel...
Even if this law is rendered toothlesss & ineffective,the Repubs will still attack it...from the left,defending Medicare...

HC sorely needs to be reformed BUT NOT in this way!
I'd like to hear your thoughts on how it should be reformed. The Republicans were shut out because they don't want anything to change. The current system is "working" for them (or so they think). Their only suggestions are reject ideas like (a) healthcare savings accounts; (b) tort reform; (c) don't get sick; or some combination of those.

I feel so dirty for just having to read stuff like that. Are you people seriously that ignorant?
They're ignorant, selfish and have entitlement issues. That's all. They'll be fine. Let's all move on.

If you have a right to healthcare I have to right to keep what I earn.
What is wrong is that my right to provide for myself has been denied.
Your right to steal from every American by the hand of government has become legal.
Not only that the house never voted on the senate bill of which makes it illegal.
You didnt have to use a gun to get medical attention in any hositpal in america, yet if I dont pay into this system you will use guns on your follow citizens, bankrupt them and jail them.
If I dont "have insurance" they will fine me..... this is freedom?
I see what must be done.... my rights are now infringed. I can not afford to pay for my current insurance, my increases, new taxes without sacfrice of my living standards. I'm done with this governments continued theft of individuals wealth. The middle class as already scarficed and while the 250,000 is the "tax number" it will lower over time to make up for the costs which will be applied. It will hit everyone and it will hit my account. Government has assulted every working American who was paying for insurance and already paying to medicare as well and running up 12 trillion dollar debt. Pay down the debt you say? What has government suddenly stopped spending in other programs? This does nothing for COSTS and only shifts the costs to those who ALREADY were paying for it. They keep the costs high just get the rest of us to pay for them. Those who enforce the law beware Americans wont pay, we will resist and your attempt to collect will bankrupt this nation. We wont pay April 15th you get no income tax, government wont pay your interest on the federal debt, you dont have enough jails and guns and resources to keep us under control. The civil war has started liberty vs tryanny. This government corrupt, 12 trillion in debt can not manage or understand the value of health insurance and its costs. The working people, the income taxes and the payments you ask of us can not be sustained. Your wars, your world interests, socalism and your continued slavery of its citizens. Government your BROKE and until you fix your ways we will not pay. Forget trying to get congress to help you.
We will resist you every step of the way.
When I go to work from 9-5 its to support myself, my family my interests and the things I deem to be worthy.
I do not work to support a oppressive government over my rights, social, economic and natural laws of society.

You don't count, of course. Duh. What did you think, the Republicans would actually start giving a damn about people? As far as I can tell, the only thing they care passionately about are cells. Oh, and oil.
