In all reality, until Obama signs it, it isn't real.

Here is something in the bill that will illustrate how much of your premiums are actually being put towards health care:
# Require premium rebates to enrollees from insurers with high administrative expenditures and require public disclosure of the percent of premiums applied to overhead costs.

This is one complicated piece of legislation. What the fuck does it actualyl do again? And how does it actually do it?? And what was the original point of it???
Actually, i'm not interested.

wait... i'm a little bit interested.... so insurance companies will still run US healthcare?
That's your problem right there. US pharmaceuticals and health care industry is the most corrupt in the world. Isn't a week goes by I don't read something about pharma kick-backs to doctors, overcharging state medicaid, false reporting to the FDA etc...
You're missing the bigger picture MORANS
And JazX:
"Obamacare Means 159 New Goverment Agencies. Smaller government!?!?"
Yes, it would be better if there was just one government agency overseeing all of this. //Because that would mean smaller government.
God, you're such a tit.

My new policy will be just to do things to piss off conservatives and then laugh about it. Apparently that's a winning formula. I mean look at how well it's worked out for conservati...
Oh wait.
Maybe you douches should stop confusing "let's piss off liberals" with workable policy ideas.

I am actually curious why you so called fiscal conservatives have had no problem with the USA being involved in an unilateral 7 year occupation in Iraq and a subsequent invasion of Afghanistan with absolutely no tax increase, and no real mention of the debt we have incurred with China and Japan, but now tax is all of the sudden top of mind with you retards.

Will the GOP just continue to be completely reactionary during this next election cycle? Not sure that is the right strategy if you want to win seats.
- Doubt it, but the cyclical nature of politics will rear it's ugly head once again. It's already starting in MA and VA.********

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opi…With the passage of the health "reform" bill, President BO, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have ensured that the American economy and America's household economics are in for a rough decade.
Liberals are hailing the vote as historic, and indeed it was -- a blunder of major portions that accomplishes none of the original goals on which health-care reform was sold. It doesn't come close to providing universal insurance and bends the cost curve up, not down.

"But the most onerous of the bill's taxes start to take effect in 2013. Families with incomes greater than $250,000 will pay a higher Medicare Payroll Tax up to 2.35 percent, plus a new 3.8 percent tax on interest and dividend income. With this stroke, Democrats have managed to punish both work and the savings of American families."What percentage of American families are pulling in 250k+?..

Obama Just Sealed His Place in History
Let me offer a ludicrously premature opinion: Barack Obama has sealed his reputation as a president of great historical import. We don't know what will follow in his presidency, and it's quite possible that some future event--a war, a scandal--will define his presidency. But we do know that he has put his imprint on the structure of American government in a way that no Democratic president since Lyndon Johnson has.
The last two generations have no model for such a president. The only two other Democratic presidents of the last four decades are Jimmy Carter, a failure, and Bill Clinton, who enjoyed modest successes but failed in his most significant legislative fight. Obama, who helped pull the country out of a depression and reshaped the health care system, has already accomplished far more than Clinton.
- < BullshitSup
- that last statement "pull the country out of a depression" is hugely weighted by your leaning towards Obama initially and not based in reality.zenmasterfoo
- and not based in reality.zenmasterfoo
- You are high!!!!!!********
- LOL @ you guys. I didn't write it.ukit

according to the 2006 census families earning 250k plus is 1.50%, dipshit.
