healthcare for all for the common good! i'm happy premiums will stop rising and actually reflect people's salary or lack thereof (thus preventing another bailout/ecomomic disaster). Healthy people means working people. God bless you, Mr Obama. and God bless the United States of America.

Change is scary, but it has been quite sickening to see how so many wealthy and middle class americans has been opposed to something that will finally give proper health care to people that have needed it but haven't gotten it.
I love how children now will be able to get insurance even though they already have some form of disease, and that kids is also covered by their parents' insurance up to the age of 26 years old.
This is the first step away from a system that has been based on greed and profit.
I agree
but what the hell is up with your avatar, that's scary
the mentality of those people though equates to "well i dont need health insurance cause i've never been sick"...
lets just hope the lower class that this helps the most is out in big numbers come november
NOW GET ON TO EDUCATION REFORM!! seems like that should be a little harder to play the partisan bullshit... right?....... :roll:

when i'm born - provide me with a silver spoon to feed me the food they will provide me for life
when i turn 16 - provide me with a car
when i turn 18 - provide me with a house
Healthcare had nothing to do with the bailout. The bailout was because shitty business people made shitty choices to give shitty loans to stupid people who didn't deserve them. If you make stupid choices like that in business you deserve to go out of business. Banks, car companies, etc.
The government is basically telling people what to do here. Basically being your parent. I thought I moved out of my house 10 years ago.
If I was making $250K a year I'd be bullshit about this too. Why should I give up more of my hard earned money to other people to pay for their insurance?
Trust me, I'm for reform but this is not the way to do it.
now if we could just get the federal government to implement a program that says wealthy muscians and public school teachers be paid an equal salary.
i am not entitled enough.

Didn't you already have that? I mean with the way the US system was before if you walked into a hospital having a heart attack, even if you were dirt poor, they still were required to treat you even if it meant bypass or angioplasty or whatever. If you died before you could pay it off, tax payers ate the bill even if it was for a really expensive surgery. Wouldn't it make more sense for tax payers to pay to make sure that the guy eating big macs and smoking can get regular check ups and advice from a doctor, which costs nothing and could prevent the need for that expensive surgery down the road.
the median salary in our district is 45K.
i believe the high was 112000. they we pay anouther 12K in pension and then a 6% retirement bonus (not sure what this is)
then there is medical....alot of them are getting 18K in medical benifits.
yes there alot making substantially less than 100K as well.
my biggest peeve is the pension. 10%?
got this of an email.
yes i am a dork. i signed up for those mass emails frrom DC.
The bill just signed puts Americans in charge of our own health care by enacting three key changes:
It establishes the toughest patient protections in history.
It guarantees all Americans affordable health insurance options, extending coverage to 32 million who are currently uninsured.
And it reduces the cost of care -- cutting over 1 trillion dollars from the federal deficit over the next two decades.
To ensure a successful, stable transition, many of these changes will phase into full effect over the next several years.
But for millions of Americans, many of the benefits of reform will begin this year -- some even taking effect this afternoon. Here are just a few examples:
Small businesses will receive significant tax cuts, this year, to help them afford health coverage for all their employees.
Seniors will receive a rebate to reduce drug costs not yet covered under Medicare.
Young people will be allowed coverage under their parents' plan until the age of 26.
Early retirees will receive help to reduce premium costs.
Children will be protected against discrimination on the basis of medical history.
Uninsured Americans with pre-existing conditions can join a special high-risk pool to get the coverage they need, starting in just 90 days.
Insured Americans will be protected from seeing their insurance revoked when they get sick, or facing restrictive annual limits on the care they receive.
All Americans will benefit from significant new investments to train primary care doctors, nurses, and public health professionals, and the creation of state-level consumer assistance programs to help all patients understand and defend our new rights.
