Do the anti-health care activists realize that they look like raving lunatics?

You can't get blood out of a turnip but the IRS really doesn't care about that!
For all the seniors out there, you will welcome the SHOT with no money for your meds and Obama can use your Social Security check for WHATEVER he needs it for!
Get ready people! This is how Social Security can be "fixed"!

Self realization would be the first step in recovery, so the answer is no.

It's a pretty big bill and has more than "INSURANCE MANDATE" in there...

Most healthcare plans, outside of employer based plans, cost around 2500 a year or more, for a single person.

If you make less than 85,000 a year, and still can't afford insurance, the government will give you tax rebates to pay for most, if not all of your families insurance. You won't face a fine, unless you are just being stupid.

If you make over 85,000 a year, sorry, you can afford insurance already, or work for a company that provides you with it for far less than the fine would be.

Stop over reacting.

If I was a radical right wing conservative I'd tell you to get a job you bum, you should have made better choices, you should have studied harder in school, you should just take a different job that gives you insurance, you should have gone into a different line of work.

But, you know, I'm not that much of an ass. And you are nothing but a troll. Go away

Well you are half right when you said cost more.the average cost state by state was 3700 low end and 4200 high end.And that is now what will be the cost in 2014? Even with the subsidy their will be millions that still will not be able to afford it.The bill was more of a give away to the insurance companies then helping the poor.But if you think it helps the poor and it makes you feel good so be it.

I'm speculating that the "fix it" bill will pass, which makes the Senate bill much better. I'll grant you that the current bill is far from great. However, with the Republicans playing stupid politics, and offering no alternative except no, there wasn't much choice.
