Health Care Reform Bill Passes

Photobucket

So the bill finally went through. We can certainly see both sides of the coin. On one side you have the 35 million Americans who have no insurance and if / when they get sick ,they basically are shit out of luck & have to pay ridiculous amounts for their medical bills. We 100% agree that no one should lose there home or livelihood because they get sick.

Reform is / has been needed.

However, the other side of the coin is: Why should I / we have to pay for those individuals health care? I don't get sick very often and I take care of myself. The fact that my taxes will now go up & will basically be helping paying for this massive overhaul is troubling to say the least. Also, what happens when everyone has the same / generic plan? Will I be able to get to see my doctor of choice in a timely manner or will I be just a # waiting in a never ending line? So may questions remain.

Today without a doubt is an historic one. For better or worse remains to be seen.

I literally have no use for the fucks down in DC. I could go on forever and rip everyone a new one. But i'd like to eat lunch today.

Fuck the Federal Gov't and the pawns on both sides of the aisle.

Well said on your part.

I'm pretty sure taxes increase if your income is over $200k. If/when I reach that point, I'll gladly throw some bones to the guys who can't afford to see a doc.

Until then, I'm down for not losing my plan because of my asthma.

They didn't pass a single payer health care bill. they passed a law that says everyone has to buy health insurance. Basically they said that we all know the system is corrupt and sucks - now go buy into it or face fines.

would'nt you know that your continued reading is the "Huffington Post" kinda bias would'nt you say? how about Neil Cavuto!..He will give you the up and up on the truth of who is being taxed and how many small business are going to have to close because they can't afford the insurance...an to the guy who is 'pretty sure' taxes won't go up on those earning less...you really need to look at the bill and see how not only taxes will go up, but how small business and insurance agencies will HAVE TO raise prices on us middle class...the higher class can already afford it..so they don't care...and Palosi and her bunch exempted themselves from having to purchase the insurance they crammed down our throats...
