Here's an interesting link for those afraid

Is there any money left to loot.

When will these crooks start telling the truth?

Status of the Social Security and Medicare Programs

A SUMMARY OF THE 2009 ANNUAL REPORTS

Social Security and Medicare Boards of Trustees

"The financial condition of the Social Security and Medicare programs remains challenging. Projected long run program costs are not sustainable under current program parameters"

We're BROKE!

[spinemelter2000]

The democrats could win a lot more elections if they compromised on abortion. Yeah I know they're mostly pro-choice, but just budging on the one issue would give them a lot more power to carry out everything else in their agenda, especially health care, education and everything important to the working-class Americans. Pro-life democrats would have trouble winning primaries but would be almost unbeatable in a general election.

[wkryan]

why are people so angry and vile? Come on people - I am not happy either and I'm not swearing and calling names. No decorum?

[JebBlack2010]

Our founding fathers wouldn't call this "Historic" More like treason!

[counterstrikenerd321]

why, your a traitor !

[christinatmo]

Watch michael moore's SICKO.

Repuglicans now can fight to deny children with pre-existing insurance coverage. "I've got mine, you're poor/ill because you're not as Christian and Patriotic as me"

The six-year cost is equivalent to one yrs DEFENSE budget, that is quietly passed and mostly unchallenged.

[MediaJunkie92]

Yeah where the fuck would you be right now without defense?

[derberg19486]

Welcome to Socialism Comrade Americans...soon you will rid your land of religion and then we can all be one!

[MClown69]

@morph995 if you don't know yet then you will never know they been talking about it for a year!! lol just go to congress or white house website and there it will tell ya what its all about

[noformstyle]

JESUS would want every American to have health insurance, illness to be treated, sick people not be discriminated against, and not be bankrupt by lack of health care. Thank you JESUS. I LOVE U. PRAISE THE LORD!

[MishuTaste]

@noformstyle Well tell Jesus to come down here and heal the sick so we can save some money on taxes.

[Yoetah]

SHAME SHAME SHAME

[tiggerxer]

Those that support this bill can be the ones to pay for it! I'l keep my freedom to choose and pay for my own health care!

[MClown69]

@tiggerxer u can choose and you do pay for you own healthcare.. lmfao what a tard

[sultar881]

die off yanks die off no one cares about you you fat multi racial trash !!! lakota wins this one

[slumdoggy]

Congrats, Mr. Obama!!! Black Man a hero now!!!!

Take that White Man!!!! Now we gotta get some Native Americans in there!!!

[Yoetah]

@slumdoggy

i'm most certain you're a pathetic paid shill...know this, this is not going to deter Americans BLACK, WHITE, YELLOW or PURPLE from running the corrupt, complicit, corporate-paid, WALL STREET-LAID

criminals out of office.

We ALL now have a NEW TAX

a tax on insurance premiums

WE ALL NOW are forced to buy health JUST like auto insurance and will be PENALIZED if we don't.

We now have LESS take home cash.

WE ARE NOW living in AMERIKA

And, the bastards who did those know

care not for U

[slumdoggy]

@Yoetah Oh for God's sake, are you that negative? You got to start thinking about what your saying.

Also, think about this  If Republicans are bitching and moaning about this ordeal, why they do something in the last 8 years.

They had their chance and they failed. Also He is the FIRST Black president in office. Now think about it.

[Yoetah]

@slumdoggy do the planet a favor and leave God out this mess

Here's a truth for you...during the presidential campaign McCAIN proposed taxing benefits and Obama opposed it. THINK ABOUT THAT

I am forced BY LAW to purchase insurance coverage

I AM TAXED on the benefits

IDEALLY The REPUBLICANS WON THIS ONE

you'd better start learning the game

[slumdoggy]

@Yoetah That's it I'm not going to argue anymore. You just don't understand.

[Yoetah]

Hey is you're going to brag about getting f$cked from the gang, be a good slum dog and find out who's really banging you..

Why is infrastructure falling apart and trillions given to black budget?

WHY AM I BEING FORCED BY LAW TO BUY HEALTH INSURANCE

AND

why on God's earth am I BEING FORCED to pay A TAX on what the insurance company pays out in a benefit.

WE GOT SCREWED.

REPUBLICANS, they won big for corporate interests.

Kucinich you' took a bribe

My Congressman Jim Cooper did NOT vote 4 this

[MediaJunkie92]

Wow fucking socialists, today is a good day for socialists.

[PERIZ99]

Media, And it's a damn sorry day for you LOSER REPUBLICANS....!! Yeaaa..!!

[andy4251]

No matter if you are either for or against the passing of this bill, the fact of the matter is that this is a HUGE victory for President Obama, his administration, and the Democrats. The party in power should be proud. And, the minority party had better re-evaluate their purpose, because as of this moment, they're kinda fucked....

[Gandhiablo]

You assholes will be a footnote in history

[Gandhiablo]

PS

Don't forget the 2 wars we are still in idiots

[PERIZ99]

Gand: You LOSERS are screwed and Tattooed...!!!!

[baronderothchild]

it's posted on the thomas gov site...look it up. it's not that complicated and actually easy to read...if you know how. if you can't find it there...use google.

oh, and LOLOLOL to you conservafags...LOLOLOLOLOL.

i sorta feel sorry for the poor homosexuals assholes that will be destroyed in public bathrooms and truckstops across this country today at the hands of teabagger/conservatives upset from losing. look out bathroom bottoms...better carry extra lube today!!!

[nsi2111]

Good look!

[poorLiLfool62]

you can thank the 'mindless people' who voted for this guy!

Sad day for America! WAKE UP PEOPLE!!

[mrgambyte]

A public option with the a government ability to negotiate prices is better. The Veterans Administration, which is allowed to negotiate drug prices and establish a formulary, pays 58% less for drugs, on average, than Medicare Part D ( a program that pays private companies). For example, Medicare pays $785 for a year's supply of Lipitor (atorvastatin), while the VA pays $520. Medicare pays $1,485 for Zocor, while the VA pays $127.

[kkinski2000]

Wow! Welcome to the 21st century, Americans.

[mrgambyte]

Personally, I would rather have a strong government run health care like in France. When you are sick, the doctor comes to your house, gives u treatment and its all FREE. Instead of you paying health care premiums every month to private companies, you pay a national program in the form of taxes. Their national health care system does NOT profit when you do not get any treatment/care. All the extra money goes back to paying your medical costs and gives doctors bonuses when they treat you well.

[1Spyke23]

@mrgambyte Totally agree dude. It's about time that America got caught up with the rest of the world. Healthcare = Free. Or at least in the immediate sense. It is just the way it should be you know.

[niceguy604]

If you do earn more than the standard, well i guess you could afford to pay more.

[DeluxBagger]

lol government take over? thats funny this is anything but if anything its more privatization of health care honestly how anyone can be against this when actually looking at what it does yea its true there are things that suck about it but in the end the good stuff out ways the bad and its an amazing feat that we actually started towards real health reform this is only the beginning theres steal alot more that is going to be done to get us to the real goal and thats universal health care

[mrgambyte]

agreed...this is not a government take over. It helps private companies gain more customers but also pushes back on their corruption and greediness a lot.

[selmamyspace]

OBAMA BABY

[hangman2012]

Ronald reagan once quoted Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born.. Kind of ironic

[mrgambyte]

You can all say your opinions here WITHOUT making things personal, insulting other youtubers, saying epithets and in the process making a fool of yourselves. Its okay to "VOICE" your frustrations/anger at "PUBLIC" officials only. We are all humans so let us all ACT like one!!!

[snakefootak]

Isn't the title wrong. Only half of congress Passed the bill, as congress is composed of bothe the house, and the senate. The bill passed the house vote. The bill now has to go to the senate.

BTW

If pro is the positive and con is the negative. Shouldn't we have progress, rather than congress?

[mrgambyte]

The house voted to approve today the bill that was already passed by the Senate last December. The other bill "reconciliation package fix" will now go to the Senate next week for approval.

[MishuTaste]

The wars and the welfare programs will make us all slaves to the federal debt. The right of private property is slowly fading away. And the sad part about it is: some of you believe this sudden increase in federal power a cause for celebration. I am telling you that this is the beginning of the end of our rights. And only when it's too late will the naysayers agree with me!

[paigelz04]

@MishuTaste OMG.. I CAN NOT AGREE WIT YOU MORE.. Im sick of people getting hand outs.. while others work hard..

[mrgambyte]

We are not celebrating the "increase in federal power". We are celebrating because Congress is finally doing something to "BENEFIT" the American people and NOT just spending the money on wars. We "the people" deserve a piece of the pie as well.

[DontMeanWell]

@mrgambyte

At whose expense? Who will loose their job? Who will pay for it?

Even at the current entitlements and military spending and other spending, we are already in huge deficits. Expect taxes to go up, and if not, expect high inflation.

[mrgambyte]

@DontMeanWell

We will pay for it because we will be the one benefiting from it. We are in huge deficits but according to the CBO, this bill will save us a lot of money. Even if it doesn't, its time the government spends its money on us and not just fund foreign wars. We deserve a piece of the pie.

[DontMeanWell]

@mrgambyte

CBO always under estimates:

Committee estimated in 1966 that in 1990 the cost of Medicare would reach $12 billion per year. Instead, the actual cost of Medicare in 1990 was $107 billion (792% more than what was projected) and today Medicare costs $408 billion annually.

[mrgambyte]

The medicare cost increase is probably due to the enormous growth in population. Plus we do lose about 60 billion per year in medicare fraud. I don't know if your numbers are right but even if they are, where was all these complaints about cost increases when Bush passed Medicare Part D?

[DontMeanWell]

@mrgambyte

well, cant you expect higher population in the future?

Bush was wrong in passing that. the former comptroller general says so.

[MishuTaste]

@mrgambyte Well suppose an American doesn't want to pay for health insurance? The IRS will charge him with a penalty! I don't want to live in a nation where the government forces people to buy something from a private company! I want freedom of choice, not government mandates!

[derberg19486]

Move!

[paigelz04]

I did not vote for him.. BLA!!!! HONESTLY I HAVE TO ASK.. WASNT THIS COUNTRY FOUNDED ON WORKING FOR WHAT YOU HAVE? PEOPLE NEED TO STOP MATING WORK HARDER AND QUIT MAKING US HARD WORKER PAY FOR THERE LIVES.. GRRRRRRRRRRR

[okahyaoga]

ROFL, a "fiscal Frankenstein"? What will they come up with next?

[mrgambyte]

well...someone on the chamber shouted "baby killer". They are trying to make health care about abortion because they know it will bring out the kooks in this country. It's another scare tactic.

[mrgambyte]

Thank you lord that you gave the Democrats the balls to fend off Republican scare tactics and criticisms. Now they have passed a bill that will push back the corruption enacted before Obama. Thank you lord for blessing America!!!

[enuvune]

anti abortionists are retarded. a fetus isn't a baby. it like squashing an insignificant insect.

[informationauth]

@enuvune

Your mom should have squashed you when she had a chance. I would pay for that.

dumb ass. Morons like you are insignificant. The rest have to support your with a job, your welfare check, your social security check, your food stamps, etc........

worthless scum.

[enuvune]

go fuck jesus, you bible thumping, inbred little cunt. if you actually went to school instead of bible camp you'd know the difference between a baby and a fetus.

[informationauth]

@enuvune

Little atheist. You big believer of government. Would have done well in Stalin's soviet union you little bitch.

Your life is worthless and you know it. You have no usefulness for society and need other who do work to pick up the slack.

little government whore.

[enuvune]

i'm not atheist.

wait, wtf are you still doing here? i thought i told you to go toss your savior's salad.

[informationauth]

@enuvune

Oh, you're just a big believer in government. Little faggot.

[enuvune]

u mad.

[informationauth]

@enuvune

go suck your saviors cock. Go suck on Obama's dick you little fucking pussy.

Mad? I hate paying for fucking losers like you who never accomplished nothing in life and need other to do it.

Worthless bitch. You know it. You know it.

It's you liberal faggots asking for government welfare, NOT I.

[enuvune]

liberals are just as retarded as the neocons.

but keep crying. your anguish pleases me.

[JoshKing74]

Typical dittohead fucktard. OH NO, BIG GOVERNMENT! OH NO, THIER GONNA TAKE MY GUNS AWAY! OH NO, THE NAZI/SOCIALIST/COMMUNISTS ARE GONNA DESTROY AMERICA BECAUSE RUSH AND BECK TOLD ME SO! THE SKY IS FALLING!! FEAR!!! HATE!!! BIGOTRY!! HYPOCRICY (like you know what that means)! You, bitch, are a douche-bag! Eat a big pile of what Fox is shoveling! Shithead!

[mrgambyte]

LOL...Glenn Beck is insane by the way. If I have time I will watch his show just for laughs then I have to tune out cuz it's really mind numbing.

[dabom88]

Spellcheck AP. "Historichealth" isn't a word.

[DarkFoot25]

A revolution is coming.

The bill's passing is a small step toward's a better America. @Everyone complaining... the path America is headed toward's is not good at all.

"All profit, all the time" people are the cancer killing America.

[hangman2012]

The time has come for some heads to roll ! The time is very near for the freeloading , dope smoking , do nothings in this wonderful country to face whats coming to them. Immorality has gone on to long. Yes , there are more of you than us, but Gods rath will be swift for those that deny his word! REPENT !!!

[sqweaty]

Why on earth do the republicans now care about spending? They spent trillions on a war that was waged without cause, but that's ok. However, this bill that will cost a tad less than 1 tril will "hurt our economy"?

[larbear666]

Dave Obey what a loser, I live in his district in WI and he hasn't done anything for us, stupid people keep electing him though. America loses with this bill, it won't keep people from dying.

[cjzzzzz]

Fuck America!!!!

[larbear666]

America loses.

[wkryan]

Yes and you better get in line or they will fine you - Your rights are being chipped away at and you are so happy to have "won" you don't even see it.

[psychoklown66]

hahahahahahahaha ... voted, majority won...

[Mrcharliebobo]

Who are the 5% it doesn't cover??????

[afact4u]

Yes they can bribe, Yes they can be removed from office

[tthomaselli2]

I gotta see the look on all the faces of the Republicans, or, as I like to call to be more politically correct, 'Angry, grumpy old white men who are afraid of change'.

[wkryan]

@tthomaselli2 this minority republican woman would like you to stop calling me a grumpy old white man

[tthomaselli2]

@wkryan

This minority 'Angry, grumpy old white woman who's afraid of change' would like for me to stop calling you that? Well, fuck her & & fuck you.: :) .

Freedom of speech, mother-fucker. What are you gonna do???

Absolutely nothin' & like it. That's what!: :) .

[PERIZ99]

LOSER REPUBLICANS, You've lost AGAIN..........

Eat your filthy hearts out !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mrcharliebobo]

The republicans didn't loose shit you stupid fuck!!! WE DID!!! you drank way to much BRAWNDO! assclown!

[PERIZ99]

MrCarlybooboo, You fucking loser...!!!Eat your heart out ASSHOLE..!!! LOL..!!!

[Yoetah]

No my friend,NEOCONS won big

Insurance WINS BIG

This is one tragic day for Americans

Taxes which weren't imposed on premiums before, now will be...the IRS will be collecting money that will then be turned over to private insurance cos.

No passing of tort reform, no buying insurance across state lines which would have increased competition thus lowering our costs.

We are now forced, just like auto ins, to purchase health ins

and penalized for non-compliance

WE GOT SCREWED ROYALLY

This is madness"

[GeminiAzules]

we all lost. you will see.

[SuperJordan691]

they dont have hearts

[PERIZ99]

Super, You're right ! Republicans don't have hearts..!!!

I stand corrected !

[MClown69]

hahaha!! When the Republicans are crying and whining you know its got to be a good thing! They are just mad people will actually like the plan and then they will never vote the republicans stupid asses in again.

[PERIZ99]

MC, Absolutely...!!

[Asiablue]

National Health Care! YAY!

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

@Asiablue

FREELOADER. YOU BITCH.

of course. You don't care about cost. You worthless bitch. If you think Americans are going to pay for it, you are mistaken.

Once china pulls the rug on Obama, the game is up. The fucking game is up and you are fucking fucked.

[Asiablue]

@TheLiberalssuckdick LOL....say anything you want. Senator Kennedy's dream is a reality! ITS THE LAW!!!

[warcraft1920]

Americans making over 250k are going to pay for it. And Chinas not going to do anything. China would not try to collect all their debt at once cause they know they would not get it. That means all the money they invested is gone. Plus America is to big of a market for China to do somthing like that.

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

@warcraft1920

Oh goodness, another fucking moron who doesn't see the deficits and doesn't see the cost of this bill. Another fucking moron out of the loop.

[DeluxBagger]

wtf is your problem dude you know what YOU ARE A SELFISH PIECE OF HUMAN WASTE i love how everyone against this bill are so quick to wine about taxes and paying were was your outrage when bush cut taxes THREE times and put us into major debt so quick to forget when clinton actually left us with a good stockpile after he left office but who fucked that up oh yea the hick thats right so dont fuckin get on here insulting people who are in need for what this will do for the lives that will be saved

[elspoko]

I think you should be mad at your masters for failing you. Again.

[Flirmy]

@TheLiberalssuckdick the senate already passed the bill with 60 votes the house is voting on identical language.  you idiot.

[warcraft1920]

The senate already voted for the bill moron. They voted Christmas eve.

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

@warcraft1920

oh goodness. Another fucking liberal who doesnt fucking know what the hell just happened.

[warcraft1920]

@TheLiberalssuckdick I like how you never addressed anything I said. Your bitch ass is just mad cause you lost.

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

@warcraft1920

You actually beleive this is a deficit reduction?

are you fucking stupid?

By the way, we all lost. We all are going to loose you fucking queer. Taxes have to go up you stupid bitch.

[warcraft1920]

@TheLiberalssuckdick It will reduce the deficit. So says the CBO. If you have evidence that says other wise, source them. Taxes will go up for people making over 250k. Since I don't, I don't care. I dont know about you but the fact is I can finish college and stay on my moms insurance. Sounds fucking awsome to me.

[FWAWrestling]

@TheLiberalssuckdick

Well, apparently, neither did those "wonderful free-market Republicans" when they used the SAME TACTIC.

[medartist01]

ONLY the Republicans could DOUBLE the National Debt to $12 trillion, during Bush. ONLY the Republicans could betray Americans and fail to protect the nation on their watch, birth 2 failed, unpaid-for, ongoing wars and leave in disgrace that mess for the next President to fix, ONLY the Republicans could trainwreck the economy into a huge recession on their watch. ONLY the Republicans could shred the Constitution, Liberty, Honor, and our Freedoms during their watch. Republicans = EVIL.

[MClown69]

hey asshole they are sending this healthcare bill and the reconciliation bill to the senate in a few days then they vote to reconcile it and when that passes they then sign the reconciled bill into law!! Affordable Heathcare for all of us!! even all the hateful repukes and teabaggers who were against it.

[MishuTaste]

Well, for those that wanted this bill to pass, get ready for some INCOME TAX INCREASES! Of course, members of Congress don't get into trouble for avoiding taxes. They have immunity. What about the rest of us?

[wafflethug]

if you make over 250k, you can afford to pay a little more

[rosko987]

Yep.. Because you got an education, worked hard to be successful, and obtained a job that pays well, you get to pay for all of the lazy fucks who don't get off their asses and get a job. You make perfect sense. Hey, I didn't go to the store to buy food.. send me some of the food from your house right now. Thanks bud.

[sckchui]

The problem with your statement is that you assume people who don't have a job are all lazy fucks. Here's what happens far too often in the US: an ordinary hard working citizen gets sick, because they get sick they can't work, because they can't work they lose their jobs, because they lose their jobs they lose their health insurance, because they lose their health insurance they can't afford their medical bills, because they can't afford their medical bills they stay sick. No one deserves that.

[MishuTaste]

@wafflethug That's true. But I don't trust that kind of reasoning, for that kind of reasoning that gave us the federal income tax in the first place. Yes, years ago, men reasoned that those w/ good salaries should contribute to the betterment of society. But look what happened: the rich were taxed first---and that wasn't enough, so the middle class got taxed. And that wasn't enough! So then the struggling working class got taxed! See my point?

[GeminiAzules]

if you make over 250k, its none of anyone's business what you do with it after you have been taxed over 90k of it.

[Asiablue]

You don't know what you are talking about.

[mirrordragon9]

@MishuTaste

Poor people don't pay higher income taxes... which is EXACTLY how it should be, and how it should always have been, ye selfish bastards.

[paigelz04]

@MishuTaste agreed!!!! ya know what pisses me of.. a large part of americans were aginst this.. so instead of letting the PEOPLE WHO IT WILL EFFECT SPEAK.. THEY STRONG ARMED US.. grrrrr

[WinterHaven]

What's so historic about it? It won't even take in effect until 4 years from now.

[katey1dog]

Hoo-rah!

[WakeMeUp4Me]

THANK YOU!!!
