HR 3590 - Heathcare Bill passes

[sig-sweet]

I can't believe it, I just can't believe what happened. I guess I should, I just figured that America......Americans for God's sake would never sink so low.
I always felt there was hope, hope in our system, in OUR way of life I just don't believe there is hope now. WE aren't running our system anymore. What the idiot sheepeople didn't give them, just just took.

In a poll off the MSNBC web site, nearly 80% of respondents are either "angry" (53%) or "don't know what to feel" (24%). Only 22% respond that they're "excited."

Could this correspond to previously reported numbers that about 80% of Americans were happy with their current health coverage?

Newsvine - The House has passed an historic health care overhaul. Are you excited or angry?

Fortunately for me I can do the what is best for me at this time - shrug. (somewhat obscure literary reference) If they're getting ridiculous on income taxes, reduce your income. Fortunately for me there's a buyout being offered so welcome to early retirement.

 

[Greatestsin]

INXS, hope you don't have any pre-existing conditions or you might get opted out of insurance.

Anyone got an AR15 and a few thousand rounds I can borrow?

I saw that there were a couple Hoosier reps who voted for it. Ugh.

One thing I was glad to see was that no Republicans voted for it. The conservative talk show hosts have been saying that was important in the ongoing battle because it means the blame will be squarely on the Dems, which should help come November.

Let me point out, ALL the Indiana Dems voted for it, all 5. If they had not.....this bill would NOT have passed.

Well, we should set up a betting pool, squares or something, on the election coming up. Have an Indiana pool and then a national one. $1 a square, winner takes 75%, 25% goes to the running of INGO?

What do you think?

No, but I'm sure there are lots of people who got one we can share with around a 1000. time to start pooling resources and getting organized just in case something bad happens. My country, I fought for for 12 years, did two tours in Iraq, has just Crapped in my Face.

This right here is a HUGE problem. you stated if taxes are too high "reduce your income". Are you serious? So when the company owners "reduce their income" and shut down their business millions of people are out of work. No more entrepreneurs because there is no motivation to work hard. Why work my ass off to become successful and improve the lives of my family when there are people not working at all and living the exact same lifestyle. No more new products, healthcare advances, etc because there is no motivation to succeed. Why work hard? Eventually noone works hard, noone wants to be boss, and everyone is unemployed. CANT WAIT.

Most successful people aren't successful because they were born that way, they busted their ass for it and put many many hours into their career. (of course some people were born into it or blessed with physical talents)

I have no problem supporting those who truly deserve it (soldiers, those who truly cant work, etc) but I am in no way supporting able-bodied people who are too lazy to work. FORCE them to work by not giving them handouts for absolutely everything. Of course they are not going to go out and work when they can sit at home watching court-tv, have sex and making kids, and collecting off of the people out busting their ass everyday.

I'll say it again. Who is John Galt?

Finally the insurance companies will get whats coming to them. Eh comrades?

No but I just googled it and it looks like an interesting read

Couldn't tell you as I don't know

Not only you but everyone who ever wore the uniform. Now I am not as proud of my country as I once was.

Yes, millions of uninsured with bayonets in their backs looking for the cheapest coverage they can find that meets the "sufficiency" test.

 

[Lex Concord]

Oh, you can be as proud of your country. It is a country which is, for the most part, filled with honest, hard-working, decent, compassionate, law abiding, productive people. If this were not the case, it would have failed long ago, but has continued to succeed in spite of the many predations of Dems and Reps.

It is our government which brings shame to this nation.

This can only lead to one thing,

I don't know if this has been posted elsewhere but, as promised by the mighty changer, here is a link to the bill so you can see what's in it.

Interestingly, they were smart enough to specifically "protect" us from collection of information related to "lawful possession of a firearm or ammunition" in relation to this bill.

Just search for "firearm" in the .pdf. After your processor recovers (it's over 2,400 pages) you'll see 10 hits.

Happy wailing & gnashing of teeth, etc., etc.
