I was originally going to post this in the political discussion, but due to my remarks regarding the anti-christ etc.. I decided to put it here.
Nevertheless, I do believe this Bill to be unconstitutional and the fact that it passed has severely lowered any faith in our government that I ever had. I am not racist. I really want to like they guy. I’m impressed with the way he presents himself and his amazing speaking ability. I had thought that it would almost be best for him to stay in office again because he is the only person who would see any of his plans through about the economy and we would have wasted another four years, but he has done too much damage and I’m convinced however smart and charming he may be we have no need for anyone with these policies.
Listening to people talk about how this is compared to Social Security and Medicare makes me sick. Like those two programs are anything near a success right now. Social Security started out as a good thing but now there is no way to sustain it. The only reason to compare it to Social Security is to say that just like Social Security, we who will be paying for this Obama-care will never see any benefits from it. Programs such as these suffocate all motivation for people to better themselves. They are a far cry from a Capitalistic Society as we were meant to be.
Also, REFORM is a bad word for this Bill and I will never call it that. Reform means fixing something, not breaking it even further.
Finally, I would like to say that prohibition was once recognized too… for no more than three years.
Damage? what damage? You mean the fact that insurance companies can’t drop people for being sick? Or that people with cancer can actual afford treatment now? How can you better yourself if you are terminally ill? How can you better yourself if you have *edited*ing cancer and need thousands or even millions of dollars worth of treatment, but are dropped by your insurance company because you aren’t making them a profit.
Are you upset because we aren’t the same country our founding fathers created? Lets just reestablish slavery and drop the civil rights to get back to that capitalistic society you so care and dream about. Hell lets go back to the roaring 20’s, deregulate everything, let kids under 16 work over 40 hours a week, let our water and air become dirty as ever, and let the Corporations do whatever they want. Yeah, lets go back to no goverment, survival of the *edited*ing fittest baby that’s what we need. I want to be able to *edited*ing challenge people to a dual.
Making a profit on a tv, or car, or a *edited*ing cellphone is one thing, but the fact that people sleep at night knowing insurance companies make profits off of sick people is just disgusting.
Like the president said, it aint perfect…but it’s *edited* sure better than it was. The parts that people are *edited*ing about can be thrown out (and probably will be) But this bill IS needed and millions will benefit. All your speculations and worries are just that. Let’s see in a couple years before we pass judgment on a guy who was just trying to help more people.
edit: sorry about my rant. I respect your point of view, although don’t agree with it.
The problem with this bill is not the cost, it’s not the idea behind it.
Well, it is the idea behind it.
The gov’t is forcing the american people to pay for something. They are punishing those who do not get healthcare. They are mandating what people can and cannot do.
This is overstepping the bounds that the constitution has set. The gov has no right to tell me that I have to have insurance.
Why should some poor piece of *edited* get my money that I’ve worked hard for, to treat the COPD that they put onto themselves.
You should ride along with an ambulance service for one day, work in a hospital for one hour, to see what I’ve seen at work.
You will realize these sob stories are nothing more than Bull*edited*, and if you saw the amount of abuse of the healthcare system, you would realize that this bill will do nothing but put us farther into debt, further the idea that it’s okay to live off the governments tit, and further reward the lazy and the homeless.
