Don't worry, Obama will never be elected President.

what happened in the 1960's that was this big of a defeat?

I would argue this is the bigest defeat to repulicans ever.

Haha, even when your side wins, you have to whine for more.. waaaa!!!!

You have no solid foundationg to build off of.. Your side has a bill which will take 1 1/2 year to kick in due to legal challenges, and by some chance this does get ruled legal, you still dont have a win.. America has a loss, loss of jobs, increased taxes, nothing to curb expenses, financial instability in the medical industry due to further cuts. Yeah, you won alright...

You are right about one thing, government will then come back and "fix" what they fk up to begin with..

Well, I don't make $200K a year, so I don't have to worry. But even so, if the choice is pay $30 a month more in taxes and then have health insurance without a $2000 deductible, I'll take the tax!

The problem with conservatives (well, one of their problems) is that they see no value in any tax they pay. I see value in having public schools, SS, Medicare, public libraries, smooth roads, etc. I understand that I get something positive in return for paying taxes. Conservatives seem want it all for free.

It's AMERICA that has suffered their most crushing legislative defeat since the 1960s.


The fight is not over. State after state is standing up to fight against this unconstitutional fraud. The only winners in this fraud is big pharma.

Oh, if only the Republicans were in charge... they would give the rich more tax breaks, give the health insurance companies more freedom to screw Americans, and unemployment would somehow mysteriously go down!

Again, Republicans nearly flushed our economy down the crapper. Why on earth would we do the same thing that got us in this mess? Or give control to the morons who did this to us?

these democratic tax advocates also don't think that big pharma is benefiting but this article contradicts that belief:
Pharma Stocks Heat Up As Health Care Reform Approaches

facts speak for themselves. the rich get richer under obama (and bush) and you know the rest of the line......
