For all you that are welcoming in the new health care bill beware. I am not saying we don't need some kind of new medical system just not this one. You will no longer have to worry about having competition once you reach 65. It is that point you will be cordially invited ...mandated to attend your first dying with grace meeting...YES I SAID FIRST DYING WITH GRACE MEETING...after that you will be invited Oh I mean mandated to attend a meeting every five years in order for you to better accept an early demise rather than using your insurance and creating bills taking away from the younger more viable anointed ones. Give up those gym member ships they won't help if you get sick. And by the way if you have sufficient means you won't be able to pay for services on your own because DOCTORS will not be allowed to treat you in this country for cash as this will discrimination for the less fortunate YOU. Think this is bull go to the internet and try reading thru the entire bill and see for yourselves. Its there Sorry I did not write the number down but will continue looking for future posting. In case you were wondering about death panels they already exist if your on medicare or even private insurance. Anytime you physician recommends surgery to you insurance company it must be reviewed by and independant review bard who then tell your insurance company if it should be done or not. Welcome to the golden years and all you youngin's your future.

Obvious lies. As gay or bi guys we should be supporting this administration that has done more for freeing homosexuals than any up to this point. Let's not fall for the lies put out by Fox Noise and Rush
as for "death panels", in case you aren't aware, the decisions on care are made at a personal level and always have been. the attending physician for a teminal patient has the power of decision to prolong or end that patient's suffering. that's the way it is, that's the way it always has been. england's last king was a notable recipient of that mercy, as were at least 2 members of my own family. do some research.
where do people come up with this stuff?
Even the President admits it needs work but that is the whole idea, this is just a starting point. The boys in Washington need to start playing nice with each other.
Kerry Healy Governor Romney’s former lieutenant Governor was on local TV last night and within a ten minute interview she must have said Obamacare at least 20 times. The Republicans will use this to their advantage.
One good thing is I hear Rush Limbaugh said he was going to leave America if this passed; do you need some help packing Rush?
My sister, for example, works in a field with no health insurance. She's 40 years old, has a pre-existing, lifelong condition, desperately needs health insurance and has no way to get any. This will give her that opportunity. I myself am in a job where I'm facing emminent layoff and at my age, with little chance of getting a good job again, I've been quite concerned about the possibility of losing access to healthcare.
I really don't think it will have much effect on seniors, who are and will continue to be on Medicare anyway.
The biggest problem is how do you coerce people in minimum wage jobs who don't even make a living wage pay extra for insurance, or a "tax" if they don't take it?
I was surprised that the Supreme Court upheld the individual mandate part of the bill. I had thought that was doomed because of the Commerce clause problems that Justice Roberts ruled that it violated. But he came up with a creative way to save the whole bill by declaring the mandate a tax.
I was shocked that Roberts joined the majority and saved the bill. However, my hunch is that the conservative justices may have overplayed their hand by insisting that the entire bill be declared unconstitutional. Roberts, I think correctly, recognized that that was judicial overreach and so sided with the liberal justices and wrote the opinion himself in an attempt to mitigate its impact. It's a real shocker, because to this point, Roberts had been fairly invisible as Chief Justice.
