Bankrupting an entire country, adding thousands of bureaucrats to the already bogged-down system, and making premiums skyrocket: PRICELESS

Let the "sweetheart deals" begin... first up: KENT CONRAD! This is just borderline criminal the way the leadership is attempting to bypass an up-or-down vote knowing they can't get to 216... sad day in American history when the people have truly lost any and all power.

Just remember your Sens & Reps who vote for this and replace them next election day. Maybe we can get a Republican majority in Congress and repeal this before it does any damage to us middle class Americans as that's what it's designed to do. Why take from the haves and give to the have-nots & do-nothings?

When most basic health insurance policies run $400-700 a month for a single coverage and over $1200 for families, how do you pay for this new madated coverage on less than $700? I can't pay right now, I don't make enough for basic. Guess I spend the next 4 years in jail, waiting for the chance at cheaper rates.
>> Cathy Saturday, March 20, 2010 2:33 PM Report Comment
If you cannot afford this health plan...NO PROBLEM. The IRS will come out, break into your house, and take all your possessions. This is all done to keep you healthy. WELCOME TO AMERICA 2010. Until Americans stand up together and remove corruption from Washington they will continue to turn us ALL INTO SLAVES.

@Stendec, lemme guess you voted for obomba and you cant reconcile the fact that the land of the "free" really is far from free. "Free" to go to jail or FORCED AT GUNPOINT to buy healthcare, that doesnt sound very free to me. You blind tribalist nationalist troglodyte!
>> kevin Monday, March 22, 2010 5:31 PM Report Comment
Stendec, that whole freedom of speech thing that lets you burn my flag also allows me to voice my opinion whether you like it or not. I do not have to love everything about this country to have a right to live here. You obviously have skipped reading the Declaration of Independence. ...That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. ... No offense, Stendec, but my citizenship and my freedom allows me to disagree with my government and STAY.

Nowhere in all this forced healthcare agenda is any reward to those who stay healthy. No tax breaks for supplements and healthy products that save the country millions if not more in poor health. Only billions more for thw same sick pharmaceutical interests that have fueled this problem. Heart disease is epidemic because of the misguided low-fat diet, and our service to drug companies and their ineffective remedies. This is nothing but an ignorant power play. Goodbye standard of living.

This is all unconstitutional, morally bankrupt, and part of the planned destruction of the USA. It isn't about health care. It is about converting this Constitutional Republic into a socialist slave state of the UN.

What a hack propaganda site this is. You did not give 1 example of a tax hike, your pdf was nothing as well. Total crap this is. I can make a site that says the healcare bill has 1 million tax cuts and not list any as well.

Here is a list of all 25 tax hikes in Obamacare: http://www.atr.org/obamacare-taxes-final-tab-a4744 Here is a subset of this list which focuses on the tax hikes on families making less than $250,000: http://www.atr.org/obamacares-taxes-working-families-a4745 Just for good measure, here's a comprehensive list of all the tax hikes coming this January: http://www.atr.org/six-months-untilbr-largest-tax-hikes-a5171 Any further proof needed?
