Scott,

Your ignorance/stupidity is just mind boggling here. I put myself through college, and had no insurance while I did so. Since you can only get insurance that covers for everything, instead of something that’s just there for accidents, it was too expensive. Pelosi’s “solution” to everything is to just require everyone to pay for insurance. I would have never been able to get my degree if that had been in place back then, because I couldn’t have afforded both tuition and health insurance.

This bill, if passed, would actually make things much worse for people who are poor and uninsured, since not having insurance will give you two options: pay a tax of 2.5% of your income, or go to jail. Repeat offenses are a felony.

Yay!

I’m alarmed about bankrupting a country that’s already running a deficit into the stratosphere. I’m alarmed Congress is passing a bill no one has read. I’m very alarmed that this is going to destroy the industry I work in, and destroy the economy.

My concerns about the bill have nothing to do with guns.

You have no idea what’s i this bill, because you didn’t read it. Neither did most of the assholes who voted for it. I am not categorically opposed to health care reform, I’m opposed to this health care reform.

You want to make real points, by all means do. But pretty clearly you’re just here to spew nonsense rather than have a serious discussion.

For the socialist.

What to do. Make a list. Start with those that voted Yea. Most of them are truly anchored in their position. Cast those off the list that defeating them is not practical. This will no doubt be a much shorter list. You might want to include those that had a tough primary fight Then support anyone running against them in their primary. The lone republican? yes force him to pull a Spector and change his party or face defeat.

We should try, but I have one word for you – and Reid has already threatened it: Reconciliation.

I guarantee you will not know what’s in this bill until it’s dead or signed. It’s all a part of the recent trend in “transparency”.

I fully expect to lose my Medical Savings Account and have my medical record digitised and made available to bureaucrats for the flimsiest reasons.

Did they slip in abortion funding? Coverage for illegals? I have no idea.

I do know, however, that celerities, the ultra-rich, and congress-critters will always be able to talk leave of absence for “dehydration”, fly off to a private clinic in say Switzerland, and have incriminating evidence removed from their anatomy.

Regarding guns as a “health hazard.” I think they are right to include it as a health hazard just as much as they look at zip codes to determine your auto insurance rates. If they can zone other insurance rates, then health insurance should be zoned too.
