i am totally AGAINST the mandatory measure in this bill...i think this is a GIFT HORSE to the insurance industry, without them ever having to compete for these new customers.
Agreed. Talk about "Cororate Welfare"?
Through the Rangel amendment these assholes can lock you up if you don't pay the big boys.
yeah other purposes, to help convert the country to socialism.Since when is 26 years old a "child"?(3) require the option of extending coverage for children under 27 years of age;
Oh, never mind, it's the government, they want all of us to see them as our mommy.
Jesus christ. now my cousin won't have to get a fucking job. he can just live at home until he's 27.

Ture, and Fine companies that do not comply. Guess what will happen there?
This isn't signed law yet...and I hope it gets destroyed in the Senate.

Essentially it's just a way to tax us without calling it what it is.
I also heard that insurance companies will be required to spend 85% of what they charge people in premiums, on actual health care services....
15% allowed for overhead/administration costs.
That really surprised me....
had any of you heard about this measure in the bill....
I am uncertain what to make of it....need to think about it a bit....
No doubt. And as I said yesterday in another thread, and this morning in this thread?Through the Rangel amendment these assholes can lock you up if you don't pay the big boys.

It's going to be challenged in the courts.
Well, it is not what we want, but it is a beginning.
We will just have to make the public option strong enough that the Health Care for Greed companies wither and die.

I was hoping it wouldn't come to that. Just more money to be spent that we cannot afford. But they'll keep those presses greased and inked up to print more money I suppose...

Well at least with all the "saved jobs", we will have someone to help finance this bill.

Can you imagine how many jobs will be shipped over seas just because of this development? Not to mention how many more if it passes all the way? We're fucked, plain and simple.
I am sad to see more of the American dream bashed on the shores of the Obamaborg ... shattered to a million pieces and soon to be washed away like so many other freedoms.
I, on the other hand, am vastly amused at all the wing-nuts losing their heads, and running around screaming, "the sky is falling, they're gonna take our kidneys, OH MY GOD, we might actually HAVE to get health insurance, the INJUSTICE of it all, OMG, it's the END OF AMERICA"
LMAO, no wonder you people lost the last couple of elections, you're a bunch of whining ninnies. You're exactly the same kind of ninnies that cried when Social Security was first enacted a 70 years ago, and when Medicare was done in the 1960s. You act like this is some "marxist plot" to destroy America, instead of an overhaul of an over-priced health-care system that leaves 40 million people without access to preventive medicine.
By all means, keep up the hysterics, it's funny as hell!
Wrong.
You left wingnuts are no better, assuming that this isn't going to hurt us, assuming that everyone getting health insurance means letting the government control it, assuming that government controlled health insurance means the costs will go down ... assuming that the government even really gives a fuck about you or anyone else. That's just as insane as the right wingnut claims. You have shown yourself to just be another kettle. Thanks for playing.
they had to suck a lot a cocks and lick a lot a assholes, black and white, clean to get get it done. and the march of the dangerous extreme radical left march's on.

*laughing* So, not a single rebuttal to anything I've posted, just "wrong!". Like I would take your ill-informed word on whether I was "wrong" or not.
Gosh, maybe I'll try that "Jedi mind trick" on you:
WRONG.

So, you first assume that I'm a "left wingnut" - probably the real left wingnuts would be offended that someone as centrist as I am would get included in their group.
Then you assume that I assume a bunch of things, none of which I'm on record as saying, I think.
Finally, you point out the obvious - that to you, this is just a game that you're "playing", which means your opinion probably counts for less than even CrusaderFrank, since while he's crazier than a bat on crack, he seems earnest and serious about it.
If this really were a game with scores, it would be game, set, and match, you lose. But to me, it's not really a game, it's about pointing out the lies, misinformation, deluded and illogical thinking and faulty reasoning by people like you

I thought the politically correct term was "Native American".
Indians come from India.
I don't see it as politically correct ... but yeah, that's why I say native American ... simply because Indians come from India ... good catch there.

Actually it was quite easy to get it done in the House. Democrats have quite a large majority if you recall.
