Health Care Passes House

WASHINGTON — In a victory for President Barack Obama, the Democratic-controlled House narrowly passed landmark health care legislation Saturday night to expand coverage to tens of millions who lack it and place tough new restrictions on the insurance industry. Republican opposition was nearly unanimous.

The 220-215 vote cleared the way for the Senate to begin debate on the issue that has come to… » Full Story on Huffington Post

I'm quietly confident...more hurdles to jump, but certainly makes worthwhile the time and money I've been investing in helping get health insurance reform at least considered in Congress.

"Democrats were intent on passing "a jobs-killing, tax-hiking, deficit-exploding" bill."

This statement says it all. Welcome to Obama-Pelosi health care - you'll need it because you won't have a job and those that do won't have insurance because companies won't pay the tax on their health care policies. The rich will leave the country, stop investing and creating jobs, or simply decide they don't need to make more income that will only get taxed. The deficit well... we'll end up the newest 3rd world country.

Thanks to the Democrats....

It's time to start contact senators. Those congressmen and women better fear for their jobs. They're gone in 2010. This was Obama and Pelosi bullying, lying, and manipulating facts to get this passed. If it does pass in the senate, we'll be sure to see all the liberals who supported this trash crying because they can't get the healthcare they need. Of course, they'd probably find some way to blame Bush.

We, the electorate, are now painfully aware that we are being governed by men and women who have defiantly gone against the will of the people. These arrogant politicians have now given us "the finger" and said "to hell with you". The arrogance and the audacity of elected officials has reached a new high.

Let's make them pay for their selfish ambitions. Demand accountability and hold their feet to the fire. Now is the time for "WE THE PEOPLE" to send these jokers packing. Democrat or Republican....it matters not. Anyone legislator that voted for this bill is a treasonous snake....hell bent on destroying our nation. And the leader of this little band of thieves is Barack Obama.

We knew it would pass because it passed in August before they read it by a landslide. Now it barely passes. The Senators like their jobs and want to keep them. Common sense will prevail and pushing America to bankruptcy is NOT the answer. We can overhaul the healthcare for those that WANT to work and keep the freeloaders on welfare with simple coverage for a simple life they choose. Our government let America down yesterday in a historial moment and reading these blogs makes me see racism at its worse. THANKS FOR THE CHANGE obuma!

"It provides coverage for 96 percent of Americans. It offers everyone, regardless of health or income, the peace of mind that comes from knowing they will have access to affordable health care when they need it," said Rep. John Dingell.. To quote a man who called it like it is,
"You lie!". This monstrosity forces mandates on the people that have no constitutional basis. It will limit access and penalize( and eventually destroy) the forces that create innovation and reduce costs through free market competition. What peace of mind is there in knowing a government bureaucrat with 0 accountability will determine what an acceptable insurance plan is and then tax you as much as $3000+ if you don't have their version of acceptable. Can you not see the enormous conflict of interest in even this small example????

This Bill is a joke and we can only hope that there are stronger spines in the Senate to stop this. This Bill is all about Nancy Pelosi's legacy; plain and simple. If it's such a good plan why was an amendment to force our politicians into this plan defeated?? Doesn't that give major pause to any of you supporters out there; if its a good plan for us why isn't it a good plan for them?? Are you supporters really that stupid??? 2000+ pages of nonsense; premiums will go up, Medicare gets cut, the only jobs created will be government ones to run this fiasco and we will NOT be able to keep our current plans. Open your eyes, ears and minds Comrades.....

Only in America can the people speak and not be heard. At least you get killed in other countries for speaking out. Taxation without representation is alive and well again and it's time for everyone to stand up and take this country back from our captures. Freedom is but an allusion to keep the rich, rich and the poor, POOR. The tipping point for our country is coming soon people. Once the people on assistance outweigh the ones that pay for everyone to be on assistance, well then maybe you stupid idiots will want to stand up and fight. I'm ready for it, are you? They can know my name, they can know where I live, they can follow me everywhere, listen to all of my phone calls, but the will never know the fight in me until it's time to die.

I told you that the health bill would pass - no matter what! We are headed down an ugly road & no one can do anything about it....it has been foretold & shall be. The next 2 & 1/2 years will be very hard, depressing, oppressing, evil as Obama just gets his way in all affairs (except the olympics - not really necessary anyway for his agenda).

Obama gets his way, because it is only fair the devil's people have the same amount of time that Jesus did to campaign for followers. 3 & 1/2 yrs for each & Obama already used up 11 months so far......we are approximately 1/3 the way through, BUT the ugly truth is times get worse for most of us. Time cannot move fast enough for the suffering!

This is not a perfect bill, but anything that helps protect Americans from the insurance mafia cartel is better than nothing.

This MUST BE STOPPED. Are we going to sit idly by while these socialists take over 1/6 of our national economy? WE WILL NOT.

Join the resistance: Show up at Tea parties, bombard Congress with your e-mails and phone calls, show up at Obama events and SHOUT HIM DOWN.

How many people are going to find a way to get the subsidy and not buy the insurance. I would bet there are plenty of people out there already thinking about it. You stupid idiots can't keep Medicare and Social Security solvent what makes you think if you add another welfare program that you'll be able to control it then. The people that are for this measure are the people who are going to sit on their arses and collect some more welfare.

All you ignorant neocons might as well get use to the idea, we heard the same crap about the civil rights bill and the Medicaid/Medicare bill, they still came, just like this bill will. You brain dead neocons don't have the common sense to wipe your own aces, sorry. I don't see any senior, retired nasty neocons that aren't wealthy, turning down either S.S. or Medicare, betcha!
