Come on Folks, answer this survey question today and let's really see where, (in the very least) the Eastern Shore stands on this issue.
Gut wrenching sickness that a doctor can't cure.

This is a sad day in American history. We no longer live in a democracy as the government is rapidly taking over private business. I am afraid it is too late but I am looking forward to next November when we can throw these bums out of office.
Extremely Angry... worst of all the insurance company's stocks are up. the fix is in.
I am nether excited nor angry, I am disappointed.
Never in my wildest dreams did I believe that are own federal elected officials would enact into law what we fought against through three world wars.
I am no longer a free person. I am now a slave. My master is the Federal Government.
Excited.
Angry!
Excited, its about time
very upset and sick to my stomach
it's a sad day for America. we have just lost another "huge chunk" of freedom. this bill will cost you more than you ever wanted to pay. FYI: Kratovil and Castle voted NO.
Never been more angry at our government . For the first time in my life I wouldn't be upset if violence broke out against these politicians !
Angry, frustrated and very worried about the future of my children and America.
ANGRY!

It sucks to live in a Socialist country.
you idiots put him in office... did you really expect any less?
I am furious!
One Big A$$ Mistake America!!!!!
Elated!!!! It's about damn time!
Neither. Because they didn't do it right. This bill means NOTHING!
This bill does NOT insure people who cannot afford the insurance rates charged by the insurance companies.
This bill SAYS insurance companies must cover preexisting conditions but they can still price you out of what you can afford to pay so what good is it?
Force me to buy insurance? Go ahead and try. I can't afford the insurance OR the fine but the fine will be cheaper!
Force my employer to insure me? I will lost my job more than likely because I work for a family owned/operated business and I'm the only one not family.
Must I go on? I think not.
extremely angry!!!
Angry enough to declare war against this tyrannical gov and march in the revolution as our forefathers did.
How can they expect to give medical care to another 31 million people and tell us the costs will go down? Just another Obama entitlement program and a move toward Socialism. The people didn't want it and our congressmen failed to hear them. Watch out - immigration reform is next. November cannot come soon enough.
So very disappointed in what is happening to OUR country. It is time to speak and remove ALL that are currently in Congress, send a message that says, WE THE PEOPLE demand to be heard and listened to, we pay their paychecks and expect them to listen!!! If WE THE PEOPLE are not good enough to have the same health insurance as the prez and 'his' peeps, then they are not good enought to govern on OUR behalf!!!!
Angry, but what really gets me is how brainwashed some people are. Someone I know is over joyed at the passing of this bill. She falls back to quoting an incident where someone having an asthma attack was told an ambulance ride would cost the person $700 so the person had to enlist a neighbor to ride him to the hospital for treatment.
In the event an ambulance ride was going to cost a person $700 it is because that person repeatedly uses the emergency services as a taxi service or the ambulance was a privately owned emergency transport company. She bases her support on this ONE incident..that is obviously not the full story.
Sadly she is studying to be a nurse and already participates in clinicals. Congratulations you have just enlisted another Obamabot to treat you or a loved one. An apparent lack of common sense is taking over the nation.
Where are the American peoples heads? Why can't people think independently any more? Why is it a person must jump 100% on one side or the other without seeing the faults in their choices?
America is becoming a place full of stupid. Hopefully there are enough of us left that don't give a rats behind what others say when we stand against all of communist actions.Yes communist actions!
The progressives are commie fools, just remember in 2010, you can change things
Happy! It should have happened a long time ago.
Mad.....socialism is on the brink.
Incredibly excited! It seems most of you haven't actually read what this REFORM bill is all about. Educate yourself instead of reading the heavily uninformed postings of blogs like this.
Mad as Hell !! I should quit my job now and let the government take care of me like it does with all the lazy SOB'S out there.WTF
I have excellent health care through my work. I do not pretend
to understand this bill. What I am certain of is that I(and the majority of people in this country) will be paying for those who do not have any health care. We were already paying for them. The bill itself was so thick and changed up multiple times, that I doubt anyone in goverment understands this bill. Also if the healthcare bill is so great, why will all the people who have voted in our interest be excluded? I, along with the rest of this country, want to know, 1. How does this bill effect me directly? What will it cost? What are the long term effects?
pissed beyond words
Angry, disgusted, but unfortunately, not surprised.
10:01
sounds like you have no clue what is in the senate bill....
This is a very sad day for small business! To quote mama secretary “this is a victory for small business ….this will give them the ability to compete with the likes of larger enterprises for the retention and recruitment of better employees”?????????????? I, up until this point was eagerly looking forward to this up coming year, and HAD plans and was interviewing people to hire for 3 positions. Now I can say I am only going to hire just one….thats right just ONE. I cannot give up an additional 2-3k PER employee per year to cover this cost. With a staff of six….that about 18,000 dollar of PROFIT that will have to be allocated to pay for health insurance that we have offered but NONE of my employees wanted to participate in. Now most will say that “what is another 18,000, it’s a cost of doing business….Well that 18,000 could have been a new hire trainee that WOULD have been on staff with a great opportunity to advance and grow into a job that would pay on low end 28-30k per year.
Something needs to be done about health care, but this is not it. We should have taken baby steps instead of a giant leap off a cliff.
Hopeing in Nov we can get control backand repeal this crap ,till then looking at property with Rush
angry this country can no longer trust its government, i am afraid of what might happen next, the picture of pelosi walking with the gavel makes me want to puke, who do these people think they are????
Happy it passed.
10:01
I feel sorry for you and those like you.
I am extremely dissapointed and agry about the bill as well as whoever thinks this is the way America should go. As a small business owner here in Salisbury, Obamas other promises are all but unexistant, and with middleclass and private business carrying all the gov't leeches on their back, its tough to get ahead.
Actually let me add the word "scared" to the list of adjectives describing this situation.
Angry, i am a small business, so you read between the lines,,,,
VERY VERY VERY ANGRY!
Every last Democrat needs to be removed from office!
We should do like they do at election time.
Set up an apartment in Pelosi's district and use that at your new resident address for hundreds of people to register to vote in her district and vote her OUT!
It's time we fought the battle the way they do.
Maybe I should quit my job and let the Federal Government take care of me too. In fact I think every tax paying citizen should do the same. It doesn't get you anywhere to work hard these days.They just take more!
10:08
I am in the boat with you my friend. It is an ill feeling huh? With all the added stress I am going to need to take advantage of this healthcare...i.e. termination becuase I am too old! hahah(not really funny but you have to laugh sometimes)
What we currently have is terrible. And what they just passed is terrible.
ANGRY
Mad as hell...
angry, disheartened, disappointed for several reasons:
1) it feels as though thing are out of control, as though it doesn't matter what the people really want. Our opinion is no longer important.
2) people seem to want something for nothing and it's just getting worse, our society is becoming one of handouts and entitlements. I have worked since I was 15, as has my husband, yet here we are paying for others to do nothing (or in some cases, even worse, to rob people, sell drugs, etc while collecting our hard earned tax dollars).
I pray this is a wake up call to us hard working americans to take our country back, elect representatives who will worry about the well-being of all americans, not just those below a certain income level.
beyond pissed....
10:01
I can only conclude that you did not read it. You probably listened to the talking points on msm stations.
I spent most of my weekend reading this bill. WE ARE SCREWED WHEN THIS IS SIGNED!!!!! Not only will it put seniors at high risk, it will be a job killer. If you had a business that had a year end net profit of 3%, could you shoulder another 6% tax increase and stay in business? Clue... they won't.
I could go on but with most liberals it is best not to argue with them. They do not understand common sense.
Mad as Hell. Will never vote for another Democrat as long as I live
Angry, but optimistic. We overcame Carter and his supporters; we will also overcome Obama and his...starting in November.
Angry & very sad....as someone said - America will never be the same
Fantastic, to bad Krativil was on the wrong side of history

This bill means nothing? Have you lost your friggin mind? This bill means that we as American's now live in a socialist country and we can kiss our bank savings and retirement good bye. There is now no initiative to work and save money. WTF did you people do voting Obama and other democrats in office.
The unproductive people who have been a drain on society are happy it's another freebie keep them fat dumb and happy . Mo goberment cheez pleez !

I agree. Does anyone remember Fort Sumpter?
God Bless Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee!!
My father is retired Navy and he just turned over in his grave.
ANGRY. come November I hope the Republicans take power and impeach Obama.
Another piece of our freedom has been striped away!We are one step closer to socialism!God have mercy on our souls!
On March 21, 2010 the House of Representatives voted to plunge our health care system into a quasi-socialist mess that will lead to universal, single-payer coverage within 15 years. It is a truism of economics that when something becomes free, it shall inevitably lose value. Our best hospitals will soon be flooded with millions of new Medicaid patients who will pay nothing for care, while the number of doctors will decrease because the profession will no longer be overly lucrative. Since many of these new patients don't work for a living, it will be quite easy for them to schedule doctor's appointments every time they have a sore throat or a hangnail. Sadly, our health system will go into steady decline just like our public school system did when the government raised trillions of dollars in new taxes and guaranteed free educations to that segment of our society that doesn't pay any taxes.
Like you, I am frustrated and saddened by this development. I'm counting the days until November when our voices will finally be heard. But in a larger sense, we have seen in the past that elections don't really matter all that much. The government is a self-perpetuating entity that will constantly vote itself more power, regardless of which party is in charge. As a case in point, look at Medicare Part D that George Bush gave us not so long ago.
One reason I am writing this memo (aside from the cathartic and therapeutic value) is to remind all of you that the free market will always win out in the end. The education system of America is clear proof of this fact and serves as a guidepost for where we must all go in the next 15 years. When the public schools became war zones where no one learns anything valuable, private and religious schools exploded in capacity to fill the void for the segment of society who had the extra money to pay tuition. The same thing is going to happen with our health care system. A parallel system will emerge because the best doctors in the world are NOT going to participate in a socialist system where Medicaid only pays them $8 to see an illegal immigrant with the sniffles. Rather, these talented doctors will set up private clinics where people with extra money in the bank can get the best care in the world quickly, not after an eight-month wait. The public hospitals will serve the citizens who have no money, and therefore will erode into a state of inefficiency and complacence. This always happens when a monopoly exists.
So where do we as productive and energetic citizens go from here? It is actually quite simple. We must do the same things that have always driven liberals absolutely nuts. Take ownership of your situation. Smile. Live well. Prosper. Build a stash of money. Do what you have to do to make enough cash so that if you get sick, you will have the disposable income necessary to pay the bill at a boutique hospital or clinic where the best doctors have set up shop. If you are not happy with your current income level, get an advanced degree so that you can move yourself to a much higher salary. Don't sit around expecting the government to help you or to do the right thing. We have seen in the past that they only care about the unproductive people in society. People like us are the forgotten fools who pay the bills, then get shafted in the end.
My message to you is that even though you currently feel helpless, you are still 100% in control of your destiny. You can only become a slave to the government if you allow yourself to become dependent and compliant. Voting in November and donating to Tea Party movements can be somewhat helpful, but ultimately they won't get you very far. I hope you will take positive steps to become the kind of well-off person who can easily opt out of the socialist health care system. Otherwise, you run the risk of dying on a waiting list like our friends in Canada and England so often do. Let the Obama voters enjoy that type of health care system. We will be elsewhere.
NOW GET TO WORK.
Furious....in case the morons who passed it missed the pasr several years, we don't have the money to pay for it and middle America and corporate America are already taxed to the hilt.
You do not 'SOLVE" the health issues in this country in this manner...you will make them worse and you will further erode our fiscal health.
Frankly,this bill never had anything to do with heath reform...it has to do with further appeasement to th eleft wing of the Dem party and thier belief that
"big Government" is the key to thier long term power.
I have been a lifelong bluedog Dem....Pelosi,Reid and Obama have driven me out of the party with this nonsense.Changing my party affiliation today.
Everyone that is angry will have the opportunity to get rid of these politicians at election time but do you really think the next batch will be any better lol
I would bet that there was a hue and cry from the populace when SS was instituted as well as Medicare. Lets face it, we are already paying for the uninsured everytime they go into the hospital and never pay the bill. You and I are doing it in the long run. Everyone, it seems, knocked the previous administration and were so hungry for change, we got a new crop now everyone is bitching about them. Guess we will never be satisfied until we have business men/women running this country in lieu of all the politicians who have done nothing but feed from the public trough all their life. I think I am really glad that I am on my way out and not it. Keep'um straight, Joe. jackkcharl@aol.com

The bill means nothing when it comes to health care reform.
Maybe I should have stated it THAT way.
It REFORMS NOTHING!
By the way 10:32, I didn't vote for Obama or any other Democrat in office now so get off that one!
I know of people who did NOT vote for Obama who were FOR this bill so who you voted for is actually irrelevant!
The government can’t run Social Security, the Post Office, or MEDICARE. What makes anybody think they can run Health Care?
We, the Baby Boomers, have only ourselves to blame. We thought we were doing the right thing buy providing our children with all of the little trinkets and toys that we didn’t have when we were young. We should have been teaching them what it meant to be an American and what freedom is and how expensive in lost lives, it is to maintain. Well I think it’s time we show these politicians and the younger generation just what the Boomers are made of. Let’s start at the local level and clean up our Government. Make sure the State Politicians read and understand the Constitution. If they want to do thing their way throw them out of office. WE ARE THE EMPLOYE3RS OF EVERY POLITICIAN FROM THE LOCAL LEVEL TO THE FEDERAL LEVEL. It’s time we set down our rules for them to live by while they’re in office. Lets provide them with some guidelines. We can make a list of items we demand they address. Things like: MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY IN ANY GOVERNMENT JOB GETS THE SAME HEALTH CARE THAT THEY SAY IS GREAT FOR US., TWO TERM LIMIT IN OFFICE, NO LIFE TIME RETIREMENT, CUT STAFF BY 25% A YEAR FOR 3 YEARS, ELIMINATE FEDERAL AND STATE INCOMTAX AS WE KNOW IT TODAY AND INSTATUTE A FLAT TAX, NO SUBSUDIES FOR BUSINESS , SEND ILLEGEALS HOME, GET EDUCATION BACK ON TRACK.
Can’t wait the see the comments on this.
I've got a good job, great health insurance, and I am in favor of this bill. And anyone who has a family member with a pre-existing condition who could not gethealth care before is also happy today. This bill will save lives.
Angry
Anyone who thinks this is a good idea has truely lost their minds. No where in the world where health care is run by the Govt. does it work. The end result will be less doctors, worse care, prolonged waiting periods for simple tests, less options on what doctor you can see. For doctors and insurance companies to stay in business they will also have to be in the Governments back pocket and that will just not turn out well for us. The most dishearting part is that we now see what we have known for many years but just didn't speak about it. The American people do not matter when it comes to making decisions it is all about what the political crooks want. No way more people in this country would have voted for this bill then voted againist it. All yes voters should be kicked to the curb because they obviously did not listen to the people they are suppose to be representing. wtf
I am so angry that I think violence and civil war within our country may be in order. Never in my wildest dream would I have thought I would feel this way. After 140 years this country's history may repeat itself. I am sick to my stomach even thinking these thoughts but I have a strong feeling it is inevitable. I pray to God for the sake of my children and the good people in this country that I am wrong and we will be able to resolve this problem in November without violence.

You are nothing more than a fence rider so I am throwing you to the other side. You are worthless in this country just like the rest of the Obama lovers. If you or any of your friends think this is a good bill then you need to get a job with good benefits.
very angry at the fact that the republican rep spills his heart and honor out in front of everyone and has the most moving speach I have heard in government for a very long time. But nancy herself gets on the mic and she does nothing but studder and say annoying little chants like "say yes to health reform" over and over and then people still fall for her!!! You have to be kidding me I really cannot believe how many brainwashed idiots there are out there that have let this sicko administration take over the minds of true americans. How is this possible?
10:46
This bill will kill many Americans and those around the world that would come here for treatment. Not to mention, where will medical advancements now come from?
I don't see where the Senate has cleared this!

I have been tolld that if we have insurance that we still have buy this screwed up plan is ths true help me out here. homer
angry!
Yes please do, show the rest of the country where you stand... The passing of the health care bill shows you how far all your post, and talks, which are just that talks got you... No where, save it, get over it, its passed now, no turning back...
None of us has to work now. Cant wait for the next round of elections. Peloski,Reid and the rest those horrible people need to go.
I know it can be repealed I know Obama could be impeached all of which would be a good thing but it's not enough I want blood spilled over this !
Wether they voted for it or not Every Single Democrat in Both houses needs to be Kicked out of there. Those who got a Pelosi Pass Not to vote for this disastrous bill, got it because their politcal carriers are in serious trouble. I don't trust them Democrats any longer, not one single one of them. They sold us all out.
ANGRY!
10:59
As long as we breath, there is always a chance. Take your doom and gloom scenario to the unemployment office with you.
Very happy. This is a historic moment in our country's history. Just like Social Security, Medicare and the Civil Rights bills. God Bless America.
11:03 you need to settle the hell down, my friend. "wanting blood" is NOT going to correct this injustice. Get your revenge on November 2nd.
Angry!!! The only reason this bill passed is because of Obama's bribes.
Livid Mad
anonymous 11:08, is that all you've got? You must be, what, 21 years old? Social Security, you're kidding me, right? My guess is that you're a recent graduate to become a teacher and clearly a democrat.

Pleased. For all of you out there who are so worried about paying for the uninsured health care... you already are. Hospitals write off millions/billions per year in bad debt from unpaid/unisured costs. The government/you pick up the tab. Doctors who treat the uninsured at the hospital don't get paid anything. So, having more insured people will be more beneficial. Also, the CBO is estimating significant deficit reduction in 10 years, and even more in 20 years... I know you will all think I am some Kool-aid drinker... But, I work in the field and know the horrors of todays medical care. Tort reform would have been nice, but that would not solve the issue and the spiraling costs.

Unfortunately I think this is the direction this country is heading for and unfortunately I fee the same way. It's time to bear arms before they take those away from us. Don't worry that is the next hot item on the agenda!!
not excited or angry--I'm scared. Scared for our future and scared for my children's future.
C'mon. It passed. It will be signed. What are we supposed to do about it? I am somewhat disappointed but it will soon be law. Let's get behind it and live with it. It might work out well for everyone.

What an idiot. Yes we are paying for YOUR insurance and heath care benefits as we speak. The problem is we are going to be paying a hell of a lot more and to more undeserving parasites like illegal aliens.
I am like the quoted Michelle Obama "I am not proud to be an American"
it is easy to save money when you raise taxes now, while with-holding benefits for 4 yrs.
The country was taken over by terrorist last night!!! We must stop these people by all means.
what about the college funding part of this bill?
So,let me get this straight 10:40 and the rest of you ignorant people. If you are poor you don't deserve an education or medical attention. Lord, forbid any of you have a stroke and end up in a nursing home and then your private insurance drops you because you are not progressing and you have to turn to medicare. Oh no, I mean your stacks of cash you stashed. Not everyone is successful on this racist eastern shore and evident in this racist country. If employment was available and substantiated there would be less government assisted people. Everyone has something to say about the people living on the government. But when its your turn it will be the best thing sense sliced bread. HOLLA.
Upset but not surprised.
Take out mandatory coverage and I'll switch from angry to excited.
angry
Ticked off. Been in the construction business for over 21 years. (small business) This now has made up my mind for now going to sell everything and get the hell out of the business. I told all my employees a year ago that if the government mandates me to provide health insurance then they better start looking for a job because that's it for me. I'm done with all these crooks.
The only thing these progressives understand is violence !
Anon 10:46 -
If your great health care policy comes from your employer, guess what? It will cheaper for them to pay the fine than to insure you and your coworkers. And, if they choose to keep you covered, do you have any idea how much your premiums will escalate over the next few years??????
Enjoy the Kool Aid.
There are currently 90 plus comments... I would love to know how many of these people on either side know what they are so angry or so happy about. McCain 2020
9% of your income gone !
a family of 4 making 88k per yr, with no go. health insurance--will pay a penalty of 9.5% of their income.
Am I allowed to say hell on this blog? I am MAD AS HELL

If you have gotten involved in your local government you better watch them now.
I am furious!!!
Constitution of the United States
R.I.P.
With ACORN and other voting registration frauds there will be so many millions of illegally registered votes who will vote for whatever adds to their dole from the taxpayers that it will be impossible to even vote these criminals out of office in November. The voter fraud where in countless districts Mr. Obama received more votes than there were registered voters in the precincts is clear witness to that fact.
The Obama administration is destroying the economy so quickly that the US dollar will be worthless, so those who have money to buy private health care, as another post has suggested, will see the purchasing power of their saving go up in smoke.
Change was promise and is being delivered with a vengance.
What are you prepared to do????
I am ANGRY. Angry at the people who voted for this bill knowing that their constituents did NOT want this bill; angry at the stupidity in this country of people who do not have a CLUE what this bill means; and for all the B HUSSEIN OBAMA supporters, THANKS for taking this country to the dark side!!
So angry that my gov't doesn't care what I think and left me feeling helpless! Well, until I can vote these f*@#Rs out of office!
38 states either have or will file law suits against the federal government . It's time to split the nation into separate countries or an all out civil war !
For 11:16 AM:
The CBO is forced to rely on the fiscal assumptions provided to it, no matter how fanciful. Apparently there is no mechanism for the CBO to reject phony data provided to it. This means that CBO scoring must rely on assumptions and projections out into the future no more reliable than predictions of Martians landing. Garbage in, garbage out.
11:08
Just like social security and medi-care.
You are rught this will be . Both of those programs are bankrupt and this will only add more debt to an already bamkrupt country.
The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.? -- Author Unknown
Pissed, But, Not surprised... A Socialist is in the white house and his party controls the congress. I am shocked they have not nationalized every major industry yet.... They want to.....
This really opens the floodgates for more illegal Mexicans and other foreigners to come to our county. I hope you liberal morons are happy now.
I have to laugh, because those of you that are angry are the probably the same ones that voted this idiot in office; but, told everyone else you voted for McCain. Grow a set and truly stand up for what you believe in and stop following the rest of the world.
Work harder millions on welfare depend on us.

But when its your turn it will be the best thing sense sliced bread. HOLLA.

HOLLA??? Must be someone from the ghetto. Typical of your freeloading species.
just went loco

On April 12, 1861 the Confederate States of America was formed. I am in support of seccession and I will be more than glad to secceed on April 12, 2010!! History may repeat itself. Long live the Confederacy!!
This bill had nothing to do with healthcare and everything to do with governmental power over our lives.
Angry!!! The United States Government has as much business controlling healthcare as I do flying the Space Shuttle!!!

The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency.

I have made this statement numerous times, thanks for bringing it up. BHO does not worry me in the least bit, it is his supporters that scare me.
I would have assumed all comments were negative.
But what I saw were obstructionist Republicans unable or unwilling to bring these runaway costs to accountability over the last 8 years. Most in Congress are in the pockets of the health insurance lobbyists, some of them deeply in the pockets. When someone is paying your bills, you are unlikely to criticize or try to change anything.
This bill/law is flawed. But something HAD to be done. Since your side didn't do it, ours did.
Live with it!
Oh yeah, nice performance by the bigot Tea Baggers on Saturday and Sunday! Nice piece of work.
Extremely mad. My day was instantly ruined when I turned on the Weather channel this morning to see this crap happened.
Joe,
Check this out. I tried to go to Kratovil's website to send an email to thank him for voting No and this is what I got.

You idiot, Bush and his staff kept this country safe!!
On January 20, 2009 a bunch of idiots turned this country over to a foreign terrorist. We are doomed to fail because of people like 12:33 PM
I'm very angry and everyone should be. Who cares what is in this bill the fact is that the government has ignored the majority of this country and went behind closed doors to make up something that "they think' we need. When will our government start working for us again? Big Government= Less Rights!

Those are comments made by someone ignorant of the facts and consequences of what has just taken place.
This comment was left on WBAL's website and these are my feelings exactly.

If Pelosi needed Kratovil's vote would he have voted yes. I think he would. Pelosi knows he will have a tough time in November so she probably gave him a pass. I would like to think the reason he gave was for real but I doubt it.

I love it. Like the ideal that this bill will knock the wind out of all you nay-sayers. It's about time you racist and rich folks pay your tidings.
The only thing he has accomplished in office and no one wants it. Good job. Everything they touch they screw up.
I am not sure yet,leaning on upset and angry. If we have to take this, congress,president and all other gov't. employees should also be forced to take the gov't mandated health ins.
What do you think happens to the lazy people that don't work when they are sick or hurt? They go to the hospital anyway. And We must treat anyone coming to the hospital with a life threatening condition. This is driving up the prices.
But the other side of this coin is that the good people who aren't a drain on the system are suffering. Because we are too proud to take advantage of the system. But what has been passed is an attempt for a "public option". This may not be perfect. But it is a start. I don't pretend to understand every aspect of what will happen. But, I do know that some part of this bill. Will help someone somewhere that needs it desperately.

I have to laugh, because those of you that are angry are the probably the same ones that voted this idiot in office; but, told everyone else you voted for McCain. Grow a set and truly stand up for what you believe in and stop following the rest of the world.
Work harder millions on welfare depend on us.
12:22 PM
LMFAO
There are a few of us on the same wave length...
Doesnt matter. The Gov wants something, they will get it. Doesnt matter but how much money goes in their pockets. Get ready to see the USA fall.
I'm so saddened and disgusted. It's amazing the pressure good old Obama put on the congressmen/women and despite the people saying NO, they did it anyway. They've lost my vote - all of them !! What a sad day in our nation's history.

What's a matter homey, you tired of living in the ghetto and still wanting your 40 acres and a mule?
The passage of the Health Care Bill by seven(7) votes is an abomination, an afront to us and the founding fathers, and a disaster, fiscally and politcally for this country. It took over 200 years to get us where we were and about a year to destroy what was built with the blood, sweat, and tears of Americans.
12:48
the rich? what happens when the government runs out of other people's money. i guess the only rich you want is big government. no one is entitled to another's money and life's work!
I am more angry about Michigan St beating MD yesterday with that buzzer beater.
Angry,sick to my stomach.
Kratovil only voted No because his vote was not needed!
How did he vote on Motion to Recommit? (This would have canceled the vote that passed the Health Bill and sent bill back for study)
On Reconciliation?
Angry and scared... I can't afford this
I wonder what our local doctors are saying today?
Go ahead and secede--and then you will be the first to illegally cross over to get real health care.
You are all under the impression that all Americans were against this bill--many were in favor of it. You lost a vote, it is not the end of the world.
I'm disgusted!
I work hard for a living. My husband is a disabled veteran. We have small children. We struggle to get by and it breaks my heart everytime I'm standing in line at Food Lion and I have a cart full of neccessities and I'm hoping I didn't go over $200 because I won't have enough gas for the week to get to work if I did....and some baby mamma and her 3 kids are in line in front of me, and she's on her cell phone not paying attention to her kids, who are throwing candy in the cart, she screams at the top of her lungs at them, "I done told chu aint gettin no candy" and her bill totals over $400 and she whips out the "Independence" card with no shame at ALL all for "they cookout" that weekend.....I'm sick of helping people that won't help themselves!
12:37
There was bi-partisan support on this bill, but it was against the bill. 34 democrats joined all 178 republicans in voting against it. So if there was any obstruction it was by the 219 democrats that voted for socialized medicine.
Suck it up and get over it!
11:31....what you do not understand is that this bill just made us all poorer....you buy the Pelosi crap hook line and sinker I take it...you think none of this has to be paid for.You ignore the trillion in debt Obama has already piled on in less than a year.You ignore the fact that medicare is broke...that the Feds have spent the social security "trust"...you ignore the fact that absurd spending and borrowing got us into the fiscal mess we are in and that you don't solve a borrowing problem with more borrowing.
This bill is simply irresponsible...we cannot afford it.You'll figure that out when the "free lunch" bus runs over you.
Can't wait until NOVEMBER!!!
The stupidity from the left is amazing . How many Americans died so that we may live free and in one day the sheep applaud as they give it away without a shot fired .
angry our government can't manage itself much less health cars communist USA here we come
It is a sad day for our country. Our elected did not listen to the people...the price will be paid in our freedom more so than our checkbook. Shame on us for letting this happen.
Angry.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. ~Thomas Jefferson 1787
I'm FURIOUS!!!!
If you didn't believe that the Dems were moving towards a Socialist America, you can BELIEVE it NOW! Nancy Pelosi will burn in hell with her compadre's...
Sorry my rep voted no.
Extremely pissed !!!
ANGRY. VERY ANGRY.
The working class will be slaves to the Federal Government before they are through.Cash cows is what we are.
Very sad really. To many of the time lines are leading to blood now.
Angry as Hell!!
I think it's funny that the people who were enslaved overwhelmingly voted for Obama who has enslaved them again . I'd love to see some of the faces when it finally hits them !
By the way folks...notice where the first "racist "comments were introduced into this discussion.Fascinating to me that anyone could attribute oppostion to this lousy bill to "racism"...goes to show where the real racism is.....on the left folks...on the left.

BINGO!!! I am so sick of the welfare parasites sucking the blood right out of this country. From week to week I don't know if I will have enough money to pay my bills. Right now close to half my pay check is reduced by taxes, SS, health insurance and other deductions. I am sick and tired of paying the bills of the lazy people.
And please thank your husband for serving what used to be our country!!
we have come full circle:
"Give me Liberty or give me death!"--1775 Patrick Henry
Scared...that I won't be able to afford to live and take care of my children because I have to work to pay for those who won't.
Vote Republican!!!
hopeful, but cautious
Angry! But I have to give Kratovil credit, because he voted against it.
That thing is full of corruption, back room deals, and other hideous provisions that many folks don't realize are lurking in there yet.
TERRIFIED and PISSED Verry WORRIED for my Children sick just thinking about it
Angry!
I strongly feel that bloodshed is inevitable and it is looming in the near future. There are to many people on opposite sides of this health care issue. Wait till they try to take away our right to bear arms.
I am vary excited. It is about time
all Americans have health insurance. There are those that have enough in life and it is about time I get some of it.
Finally I am proud to be an American
I thought you were supposed to earn the American Dream, with hard work and honor. The bottom lie is the American Dream is to expensive for everyone to afford, or they dont want to work for it.
2:38
lazy a$$!
you deserve what you earn, that it is shameful!
What we have here is a major power play. The democrats are so self centered they don't really care about the people. It is a feather in their cap to beat the Republicans and that is all they wanted to do.

Wrong answer you liberal idiot. I work for a living and I have health insurance and a family doctor of my choice. I don't need or want your welfare of socialized medicine.
CIVIL UNREST !
very disappointed.

Why do you think I am lazy ? You are a bigot. I bet you like Nascar.
