Worth repeating.

So libs,

Happy we rammed trough a several thousnand page *FRAMEWORK* which needed thousands of pages more of administrative law?

Active duty cops are probably wondering what will happen to them but are afraid to speak up.

Give me a break.

Health care is regulated at the state level, not federal. everyone who posted above is whining about the states rights issue they invoke when they want to reinstate Jim Crow laws.

Obamacare sucks, but at least it is the first step in trying to get health care for everyone. I am in favor of a national health plan. Take the load of of business and guarantee health care for everyone.

You are right on one thing. Obamacare does suck. It will suck worse once it's implemented.

Right now everyone has access to healthcare. Hospitals MUST care for the indigent.
It's health insurance that everyone doesn't have, not health care.

Please define for me what exactly is "healthcare for everyone?"
does that mean some level of minimum care?
if so what is "minimum care?"
or does it mean everyone has access to every test, treatment, procedure?
if it's access to everything for everyone, won't someone have be regulating/approving treatments since healthcare is a limited resource?

Obamacare is not the solution, it is the problem.
It is also a tax, remember.

Why in the hell are you bringing Jim Crow up?

Oh it's to defelct from the utter pile of crap your side rammed through and is now trying to weasel out of..

I've heard Republicans will bring back slavery if they get the House, Senate, and presidency.

Obamacare will find them. They can run....

Even the libs and unions are not wanting this junk now.

The cartoon by Christopher Weyant argues that the GOP is sabotaging ObamaCare by popping a lot of balloons. If the GOP had controlled the executive branch at any point since ObamaCare became law in March 2010, that argument might have some validity. Of course, the reality is that the Obama Administration has controlled the executive branch since then. The unfolding train-wreck of ObamaCare is completely and utterly the fault and responsibility of his Administration, and no one else.
