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

2:38 PM

Your lazy a$$ and "all Americans" need to get a job like I have. Nothing is free and your people don't have the right to force me to pay for your health insurance. I am so pissed if you said that to my face I would knock you back to your mother land.

First of all 11:31 get your head out of your rectal cavity...No one says that because you are poor that you dont deserve an education of medical attention. Name me one person who has been turned away from school that has the determination to get an education. Many have worked their way thru college educations without financial assistance. Go in the ER some time and see the people that are receiving medical attention and will never pay.
And I do not have stacks of cash but can pay my bills which I have done my entire life... never living above my means like many do.
Employment IS available but one hell of a lot think that working at a fast food place is beneath them and wonder why they cant get high salaries. Mostly because they were too damn lazy to get the aforementioned education. Look around and look at the indiviuals that are walking around town with their pants around their ankles, piercings up the ying yang, hats on backwards with tattoos all over their body, talking like a "thug", "gansta".... If you had a business would you hire them, hell no but listen to them bitch because you wont. Comes a time that everyone has to man up and take responsibility for their own interest or lack thereof. Sorry to be so windy but....... jackkcharl@aol.com (should you wish to continue this conversation)

Thanks to last night's vote, that child of yours who has had asthma since birth will now be covered after suffering for her first nine years as an American child with a pre-existing condition.

Thanks to last night's vote, that 23-year-old of yours who will be hit one day by a drunk driver and spend six months recovering in the hospital will now not go bankrupt because you will be able to keep him on your insurance policy.

Thanks to last night's vote, after your cancer returns for the third time -- racking up another $200,000 in costs to keep you alive -- your insurance company will have to commit a criminal act if they even think of dropping you from their rolls.

Yes, my Republican friends, even though you have opposed this health care bill, we've made sure it is going to cover you, too, in your time of need. I know you're upset right now. I know you probably think that if you did get wiped out by an illness, or thrown out of your home because of a medical bankruptcy, that you would somehow pull yourself up by your bootstraps and survive. I know that's a comforting story to tell yourself, and if John Wayne were still alive I'm sure he could make that into a movie for you.

I wouldn't even be able to have that if I didn't hame my Independence card. You probably don't want me and my kids to have that! You wouldn't know what it's like to feed 5 kids and afford their clothes. Lord knows how much it's gonna cost when they get in high school. Obama's doin' just what he said he would. He's distributing the wealth from the rich to the poor. It's past time you rich white people got off of some of your money and give it to others who don't have as much. If I had a nice job like yours that pays a lot of money I'd go to it every day. But the jobs around here don't even make it worth going to work. Thank you Mr. Obama for making a pair playing field for every body where the color of your skin don't count.

Very happy! I hope that some day your quality of health care is not determined by the insurance that you have. I also hope that people with health conditions can now afford to go back to work. I know people who are on disability and want to go back to work but would not be able to afford their medications and medical visits. So, they stay on disability where it will be covered. Why should prisoners and those not working be better taken care of then someone like me who works 40 hours a week?

thank god the majority of the opposition to this bill are backwoods smalltown redneck sheep who don't know any better and just happen to be the overall minority in America.

I also have to say that there's a lot of small business owners on here instead of managing their business... maybe that's one reason they are going under! Keep blogging and blame somebody else for your own failure.

I just love the ignorance of assuming that people without jobs are lazy, don't want to work, and live off the tax payers dollar. Have you forgot already that your president Bush wrecked the economy and put far too many good people out of work?

I also find it amusing that some claim that the people are against this when this was one of the huge deciding factors for the people who elected Obama.

I don't know... seems like we have kool aid drinkers on the left and sheep on the right... where oh where are the people with common sense?

oh and to those who keep talking about violence... grow some balls first! This county hasn't had what it takes to revolt for far too long and I don't see it happening any time soon.

Bryan, thank you for sharing your opinion and using your real name. All the pansy democrats are too big of a wussy to ever dare put their name out there because they don't want to be recognized as the wussies that they are, taking free rides from our government.

I can't tell you just how many young democrats that I know right now that work for the government. In fact, if any of them had to look for a real job in the real world, no one would hire these paper pushers who only know how to make charts and hold meeting where they know everyone will pat them on the back for their "hard work." I saw it regularly in the past at the Salisbury Zoo.

Chuck Cook recently lost his job and actually took a job working for Frank Kratovil. It's been reported that even he knows Frank will lose the next election, yet it's a job. Sorry Folks but I can't stand someone as two faced as that. You're either a team player or you're out. Democrats are out for themselves and that's all there is to it.

WAR IS PEACE

George Orwell called and he wants the idea for his novel 1984 back.

Take heart knowing that this is the last large piece of social legislation that will be passed. All the social welfare programs are broke and health insurance is no different. The time quickly approaches that something will have to be down about the entitlement programs. So the dems can talk about historic all they want, but there is no money to pay for this. This bill is a joke. Eventually the middle class is all going to quit their jobs and get welfare, food stamps, housing subsidies, health care, etc. Which is exactly what the government wants. 1984 here we come.

(If you haven't read 1984 by George Orwell, you need to).

If you want to eat steak, get a freaking job and buy steak. If you want nice things, work hard for them. It's pretty simple. I should bust my behind working and becoming more educated so you can sit on yours and have the same damn things I have? Absolutely not!

Here's whats next

Universal voter registration: Now being secretly prepared by at least two prominent members of Congress, this is essentially a scheme to legalize voter fraud by shifting responsibility for registering to vote from the citizen to the government, meaning people are automatically registered to vote, based on DMV records, income-tax returns, welfare rolls, unemployment lists and other government databases.

Illegal immigrant registration: Since government databases contain names of non-citizens, not to mention mentally incompetent individuals and felons – factors that would ordinarily disqualify a person from voting in most states – universal registration would open the floodgates to fraud. And since many people own property in more than one location and pay taxes to numerous government entities, they would be afforded the opportunity to vote in multiple locations.

Amnesty: Disguised once again by euphemisms like "comprehensive immigration reform," amnesty will create millions of new Democrat voters. As Obama adviser and SEIU executive vice president Eliseo Medina said recently regarding amnesty: "Can you imagine 8 million new voters who care about our issues and will be voting? We will be creating a governing coalition for the long term, not just for an election cycle."

Convicted felons voting: The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals late last year cleared the way for inmates to vote from prison. The court overturned a Washington state law prohibiting felons from voting until they are released and off parole, arguing state restrictions unfairly penalized minorities since they have a higher incarceration rate. Polls show felons overwhelmingly prefer Democrats.

Planting operatives in America's statehouses: A subversive, Soros-backed group called the Secretary of State Project is gearing up to steal the 2012 election for Obama and congressional Democrats by installing left-wing Democrats as secretaries of state across the nation, from which posts they can help tilt the electoral playing field.

So I guess all these alleged "lazy" people should die because they can't afford treatment for cancer, etc

joealbero said...

anonymous 7:01, Let me straighten you out right here and now.

As many of you know, I lost my Mother recently to cancer.

No matter what kind of insurance she had, MONEY was never an object!

Some people die, that's life. Insurance didn't save her and insurance didn't kill her.

Like anything else, its all a matter of your genes, your will to survive and your faith in God.

For those of you too scared to face death, those people who believe in God and have faith know that one day they will go to that holy land and be where they have lived their whole life to be.

Mind you, no one should SUFFER along the way but more importantly, NO ONE, (including Palosi and Obama) should PLAY GOD.

My cousin is a health care actuarial expert. He says that to make health care affordable for most Americans, what you have to do is to allow a pre-tax $2,000 medical savings account for routine doctor visits and purchase only catastrophic medical insurance with a $5,000 deductible. Then worst case scenario, you're only out $5000 if you require hospitalization. He says that this new health care will be disastrous for small businesses.Don't blame me, I voted for McCain.

Have people actually read the terms of the bill? I see comments where people say they are refusing to provide health care to their employees in the business they own, then I see comments where people are telling others if they don't like our system then to go get better jobs that have benefits. Hypocracy at its best... The truth is, those jobs aren't out there! I wonder if anyone reading this blog has a child that has recently graduated college and still can't find a job that even allows them to move out on their own, let alone afford an extensive insurance policy???

By the way, the only tax increase is going to be for people making $200k per year or more, unless you count the 10% tax you'll have to pay at the tanning salon. The middle class guy making $40k isn't going to see an increase. And those people you see abusing the system in the grocery stores... HELLO you're already paying for them, this health care bill isn't making that happen.

There was once a time when the government was criticized for building roads because only the richest of the rich had cars, but in the long run that worked out fairly well for us.

1.Socialized medicine results in the very worst junk health care -- all it does is bankrupt society while reducing care standards for all and it does so by the immutable laws of supply and demand: force artificially low prices and demand (along with societal cost) increases. Services collapse as they are overwhelmed with demand at the same time as they decline due to funding starvation and this is inexorable and inevitable. Note that this monstrosity is not required to provide a basic safety net cover for all uninsured citizens but appears designed to collapse the system with fully-insured free riders.

2.ObamaCare is a huge leap in the socialization of the United States and socialism bankrupts societies. Just look at the failure of the USSR, a nation massively endowed with natural wealth in resources, arable lands and an abundant able workforce to run its industries -- collectivism simply does not work. China has boomed since turning to capitalism with zest and gusto, a brand of "communism" that would be completely unrecognizable for their founding philosophers.

3.Societal bankruptcy trashes research and development, resulting in the virtual death of science.
Doesn't help entrepreneurialism either, accelerating the decay in research funding and even basic teaching.
America's ability to maintain and develop science will wither and die under socialism and ObamaCare entrenches socialism, thus ObamaCare threatens sound science .

The United States of America's scientific future depends on killing the unmitigated disaster that is ObamaCare.

It's as simple as that.

I don't know why you all are so upset! You rich white people have what you need. You have nice cars and nice homes and nice healthcare. You get upset when you somebody gets a little something for free. You don't know what it means to not have steak all the time. You probably have steak everyday and I can only get it once a week. I wouldn't even be able to have that if I didn't hame my Independence card. You probably don't want me and my kids to have that! You wouldn't know what it's like to feed 5 kids and afford their clothes. Lord knows how much it's gonna cost when they get in high school. Obama's doin' just what he said he would. He's distributing the wealth from the rich to the poor. It's past time you rich white people got off of some of your money and give it to others who don't have as much. If I had a nice job like yours that pays a lot of money I'd go to it every day. But the jobs around here don't even make it worth going to work. Thank you Mr. Obama for making a pair playing field for every body where the color of your skin don't count.

As another poster stated, who in the hell made you have 5 offspring when you cant afford them Maybe instead of laying around boinking, you should have gotten another job and saved some money like those of us "rich" people And a lot of us rich white people are that way because we decided to go to school, live up to our means, dressed properly, spoke properly. You insinuate that your race cannot get ahead...DUH One is President, idiot!!!! And there are many more blacks that are successful. You are too busy trying to convince everyone that you are an deprived African American, to realize that your ancestors sent you here. You are an American, not African American, you in all liklihood have never been to Africa, will never go there, and probably could not find it on the map. Now get the hell of the computer, go get a education, quit speaking eubonics (?), get a job and maybe you can eat steak Personally I am tired of buying your steak.

Absolutely I am disgusted with our government and their efforts to socialize health care. It is very disappointing to see what kind of idiots our society has elected into office.

What's even more disappointing is the idiots who elected the idiots.

This is great! Finally, healthcare for ALL Americans. Not just the ones that can afford it, but even the ones who can't afford it. The government will pay for it. Just like medicaid. Now healthcare is not a choice, but mandatory. If you have any money, you will pay for it. That is the new law of the land. (ironic. Dems think abortion, baby killing is a choice, but healthcare is mandatory) Seniors, who need healthcare the most, will have less. Young people who need healthcare the least, and have the least money, will now have to "buy" it. And for the people who can't afford it, the rest of us will pay for it. That part is just like it was before the law was passed. What's different is the young and old people that lost in this debate, and the middle class who are going to be taxed a TRILLION $ more over the next ten years. The only ones not affected by this legislation are the wealthy. Then again, nothing ever touches them. Democrats, some our friends and neighbors, are complete morons. They have screwed us all, yep, even themselves. They don't understand that we hate Obama even more than they ever hated Bush. Bush only tried to protect Americans during his term. Obama is trying to destroy America and all it has ever stood for.

I'm angry

This is for all of you lazy people that sit on your lazy butts all day and do not work for a LIVING. But on the other hand some of you guys have 2 or 3 low paying jobs and still cannot pay for healthcare so for those who fall under this catagory I feel sorry for you. But if sit home all day and don't do anything get off your lazy a$$ and work. I think that is enough said

This bill is an affront to the very fiber of this once-great Nation. This nation became great because of the knowledge that every citizen has unlimited potential and the only barriors placed are those that are self-inflicted. It is not the governments business or responsibility to provide for the individual, it is the individual's responsibility to provide for himself! But slowly our government has inserted itself in every aspect of our daily lives. Whatever happened to personal accountability, taking pride in your accomplishments, being a self-made man, living by a certain creed or standard? Hopefully our nation will soon remember how only philosophies such as these will lead to a meaningfull, fulfulling life.
