Swaavay, you've made some reasonable comments in the past. Congrats.Tyho, you sir need to think more logically. This isn't about more freeloaders looking for a hand out. Healthcare in it's current form is unsustainable. Think past the end of your nose.Your plan is probably kill Obamacare. Zoom forward 10 years....Healthcare costs 3 times what it does today. Many employers drop health care plans. Many others tripple deductibles and copays. Now what? Oh yes, just suck it up and pay. I thank you for your wonderful solutions.

One uninsured American dies *every minute.* So ramming it through to put the brakes on that inexcusable trend is a bad thing?Sure, the Conservatives want every fertilized egg to be born, but after that — sorrygoodluck, see you and your slutty teenaged mother in church!

Go to prison if I don't buy insurance? what a load of crap. the bill mandates all have insurance but if you don't buy private, and you don't take the public option then you should go to jail for being to stupid to get yourself covered.

So... I dont know what rgr stands for, but I asked Jeeves it and this is what came up:"The Royal Gurkha Rifles (RGR) is a regiment of the British Army, forming part of the Brigade of Gurkhas. The Royal Gurkha Rifles are now the sole infantry regiment of the British Army Gurkhas. Like the other Gurkha regiments of the British and Indian armies, the regiment is recruited from Gurkhas from Nepal, which is a nation independent of the United Kingdom and not a member of the Commonwealth.

One uninsured American dies *every minute.* Fearmonger much? Just where did you pull that statistic out of? If they are in such a rush and this bill will help all these people right away, why doesn't it take effect until after 2013?
