Obama Signs Health Bill; 13 States File Suit

[dougmanjones]

If the health care law is repealed, then insurance companies can (and will) continue to practice recission, meaning they can deny or drop your coverage if you have a pre-existing condition. Anyone who thinks repealing the health care law needs to think long and hard about this aspect of it.

[hotblud82]

Way to go, you liberal fucktards! Now we are going to have a VAT tax ON TOP of our federal income tax. Liberalism has its days numbered thanks to the current administration.

[dozerman09]

NEXUS1A ...well you just proved to everyone on here how educated you are..typical public school drop out.

[dozerman09]

way to go Oduma..major corportations are saying they are going to have to lay off even more people..even Verizon, who was one of the few sponsors of your joke are now going to lay off more people and there are confirmed reports that MicroSoft will be moving its HQ;s to India. Thank you President Ass Hole for even more job losses. Now, where do you think the tax money is going to come from? And why are Oduma and the Congress that voted on this bill exempted from taking part in it? Fuck Oduma

[NEXUS1A]

@dozerman09 LOL ODUMA that is clever Dumberman09 lol U attack a Pres for back up Americans and LOL American corporations Moving to India and China or anywhere else has nothing to do with the OFFICE of the President

[jasonlloyd33]

Suck it evil Repugs! The party of hate the party of can't. The party of if we can't win we'll throw rocks. The party of I'm white and I deserve it more. E Pluribus Unum people. Out of Many One. Guess you forget that he founding fathers had that noble concept. You say you're pro life yet your all for war and the death penalty yet you do everything you can to prevent sick people from getting Health Care, and you only like foreigners if they work for you for less than a Union Man will.

[NEXUS1A]

@jasonlloyd33 YEAH love it :-)

[365rl]

My state is helping to fight against this bill, too. This bill violates the Constitution by forcing all Americans to buy a private product. I'm about to go into college, and I'm not about to lose hard-earned money because the IRS wants be to buy something from them. MA's hospitals are already going bankrupt under this system.

If the states win the lawsuit, the bill hopefully be as harmful as it was first written out.

[jasonlloyd33]

Then your state blows

[NEXUS1A]

@365rl your just wrong and have no idea what your talking about , and Obama administration just made it a whole lot easier to be in school and just a whole lot easier on ADULTS in college with being able to say on your parents HEALTH CARE INSURANCE til 26

[TheMrLiberty]

Hey I'm still waiting for the tech jobs Slick Willie promised when he signed NAFTA into law.

We still spend billions maintaining our presence in Europe and Asia. Congress never even thinks about ending that bullshit! Why? Cause it doesn't effect them! Just like the healthcare bill.

You have to be really stupid to buy Obama's bullshit.

[takforalt]

This piece is devoid of any real content. What is in the Bill? Half a trillion will be taken out of medicare..... won't medicare suffer?

Money will flow to the big insurance companies and in a few years, they will say, OH i am sorry the money is gone. Shades of what has happened to Social Security.

[KarmicOmen]

America IS A REPUBLIC.

America is NOT A DEMOCRACY.

Democracy and Republic are two dissimilar FORMS of government:

DEMOCRACY: The Majority Unlimited, lacking any legal safeguard of the rights of The Individual and The Minority.

REPUBLIC: The Majority Limited, under a written Constitution safeguarding the rights of The Individual and The Minority.

[NEXUS1A]

@KarmicOmen AMERICA IS BOTH A DEMOCRACY AND A REPUBLIC ! lol LOL LoL REALLY COME ON IGNORANT STATEMENT

[KarmicOmen]

America is a FEDERAL REPUBLIC with a democratic voting process; however, we are not a democracy where majority rules.

Perhaps you should research and get your facts straight before calling me me ignorant -- you look very foolish.

[KarmicOmen]

me me ... LOL!

Sometimes delete buttons fail us.

[KarmicOmen]

@NEXUS1A

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands ..."

As Benjamin Franklin was leaving the building where the US Constitution was completed and signed, a woman asked what kind of government the convention created. Benjamin replied; A Republic, maam if you can keep it.

[KarmicOmen]

Thomas Jefferson seemed to make states' right crystal clear in the Kentucky Resolutions. The Federal Union is a VOLUNTARY ASSOCIATION of states -- if the central (federal) government is overreaching in its power, each state has the constitutional right to nullify federal law.

[KarmicOmen]

(Part 2 of 2): and that whensoever the general government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force: That to this compact each State acceded as a State, and is an integral party, its co-States forming, as to itself, the other party....each party has an equal right to judge for itself, as well of infractions as of the mode and measure of redress.

[NEXUS1A]

@KarmicOmen lol after you get done with your cuts and pastes maybe you should go to law school and really learn something

[KarmicOmen]

(Part 1 of 2) The States composing the United States of America, are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their general government; but that by compact under the style and title of a Constitution for the United States and of amendments thereto, they constituted a general government for special purposes, delegated to that government certain definite powers, reserving each State to itself, the residuary mass of right to their own self-government ...

[NEXUS1A]

@KarmicOmen LOL LOL LOL LOL majority is ruling you bozo the DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY

[ch1aka2]

I hate to say it, but if these people are stupid enough in these states to support their leaders, and then they happen to get sick and die because they cannot afford health care for profit...so be it. They won't be missed by the rest of us.

[GoochRA]

Are you going to be able to afford this health care plan?

"If a person decides not to buy health insurance, that person by definition is not engaging in commerce, If you are not engaging in commerce, how can the federal government regulate you?"

Think about the big picture. The government can't sell cars without going bankrupt, there is no way in hell they can run our healthcare.

[ch1aka2]

@GoochRA You're point isn't valid. The federal government has been running Social Security and Medicare for decades. In addition, the government was not trying to sell cars, but merely tried to stimulate the sales of new cars. It seemed to have worked.

[GoochRA]

@ch1aka2 , so your saying that we stimulated our economy buy sending our money overseas? If it was only american made cars that got the cash for clunkers deal you'd have a point, so thats failure #1. Failure #2 is that is went bankrupt after what like 2 days? What do you think is going to happen when everybody gets the same "free" (it's not free btw) health provide by the same? It's going to go bankrupt because everybody with a splinter is going to wait in line at a clinic cause it's "free".

[ch1aka2]

@GoochRA I'm sorry, but I have a different view of the situation. I'm older and I see the need, and the benefit to the country in the long term, in providing health care for all American citizens. I also see the greed and heartlessness exhibited by the health insurance companies (which is supported by the republicans) with their practices. I guess we just disagree. Good luck to you.

[GoochRA]

@ch1aka2 , oh, im with you on the state of existing health care insurance in the country. But you got to remember, they are just that, companies. They exist to make money, not help people, just like McDonalds. I'm a T4 paraplegic, I know allllll about health care and how it sucks. If you took an investment that you knew would cost you more money than you made you'd be a fool to do it. Same with prexisting condition in people and coverage. Don't take me as inhuman, something needs to be don

[hamace]

Have you seen the cost of the cash for clunkers bill? It was a complete failure!

[xwdproductions]

Humm lets see here fight it for the insurance companies that wont cover preexisting conditions and if your child gets sick and needs major treatment then what you let your kid die cause you cant pay for the necessary treatment? If that is the Case then I say those whom Oppose this Are the Real Babbie Killers!!!

[NEXUS1A]

wow OUR country is in REAL trouble when we are just this plain DUMB -- YES to HEALTH CARE REFORM YES TO 26 YEARS OLD BEING ABLE TO STAY ON FAMILIES INSURANCE, YES TO LOWER DRUG COST FOR GRANNIES, NO TO INSURANCE COMPANIES YOU CAN NOT KICK HER/HIM FOR " PRE-EXISTING CONITIONS@ YES TO NATIONAL DECEIFT BEING BROUGHT DOWN SOMETHING PRES. REAGAN AND PRES. BUSH SR SKYROCKETTED

[GoochRA]

Wrong...

If your owned a construction company and built houses and a customer wanted you to build and insure the house even though it was on a fault line and was going to have earthquakes at least once a year....would you still build the house and be responsible for any repairs?

I hate to say it, but insurance companies are businesses. They are in existence to make money not help people, just like McDonalds. I don't mean to sound inhuman, I believe there should be help for less fortunate.

[stophypocrisy]

How long will it take them to arrest me because I not going to give the insurance conglomerate one red cent. They have ripped me off for the last time and I will not give them a chance to do it again. This health care bill is just a windfall for the insurance corps. They will still refuse to cover almost every procedure as before and get away with it. Nothing has changed except more money for nothing in return.

[NEXUS1A]

hmm I am not the Idioit running around calling PEOPLE Nazi's lol Iam not the Idiot running around Barfing up shit comments like follow the money - Where were U when Pres Bush started a crazy unfounded WAR and AMERICAN families lost there loved ones! and billions of American Dollars when to Dick Cheney and his ick !

@Alkatine Is France a "Police State"? No. Does that mean an American shouldn't be OUTRAGED at the prospect of having their country turned into a version of France? what's next, shall we treat Sudan as our Equal...and Chad? We Are on a slippery slope here. 46% of every dollar now belongs to the Fed. Cap and Trade gives The Fed Energy too. Amnesty guarantees them majorities for generations. Not "Police"...Socialist.

[Mindcrime1994]

How Much More Ya Gonna Take America? Welcome to the New World Order Morons.

[wideawake123]

Let go of your own face, there's more here than you know. The Imposter now controls Banking, Manufacturing and Healthcare(our Bodies). Energy is next(Cap and Trade). 46 cents out of every dollar in our economy is now controlled by Barry Soetoro. The operative word in this all is "Takeover" If an American isn't enraged at this point, they are either hopelessy indoctrinated with the socialist paradigm, or they have been in a coma for a year.

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

Stupid Idiots.

nearly all the government welfare programs are already broke. And this is suppose to actually make money?

You fucking idiots. It's alright. Socialism only works until you run out of other people's money.

[masterchiefgtx]

@LarcheOsborne This state embarrasses me everyday... Racist cities, racist judges, a war on education....and now this...

[LarcheOsborne]

I know it doesn't help you feel any better, but the citizenry is less racist and better educated now as compared to the way it was when I was a child. As a child, I attended segregated schools. One wing of the school was set aside for African-Americans, and we met only on the playground or sometimes at lunch. When token desegregation arrived in my high school years, one black student joined my class for gym. I know that much change is still required; that is true in Chicago as well.

[wideawake123]

How appropriately symbolic that it's 13 States who filed the suit. Just as the 13 Colonies petitioned George III. I'm sure the creeps in Washington miss the point, but patriotic Americans wont. This is the begining of the 2nd Revolution and I don't know who'll throw the 1st rock, or fire the 1st shot, but I wont be far behind. The Bill of Rights is worth Killing And Dying to Protect. Hang Every member of Congress who voted "yea"...literally.

[soetebeer]

@wideawake123 - here here! I second that! Long live the Bill of Rights - it is worth dying for!

@masterchiefgtx You fool... You expect to scare people into silence by raising the "spectre" of "The Evil Bush"? Dont let your ignorance or willful stupidity get in the way of making an argument in favor of beareuocrats having a Mandate over your healthcare. "Maybe it would be better to give her the painkiller, rather than the life prolonging surgery"-The Creep you Voted for(B. Hussein Obama)

The State now controls 46 cents of every dollar spent, earned, saved...circulated in the USA.

[masterchiefgtx]

Lol, you think an insurance company cares more about you than the government? I think I can only imagine how much the CEO of my insurance company cares more about me riding on his private jet that a bureaucrat... It amazes me how you find this small amount of healthcare reform to be more of a threat to your freedom than anything Bush did....

[wideawake123]

@masterchiefgtx You think the govt cares about you at all? They want power over you, that's it. Who's the largest denier of HC benefits in the USA? The Government you Tool! Name one person who got locked up because of the Patriot Act who wasnt a Militant Islamist Terrorist? I'm Tired of listening to you ignorant Fuckheads blaming Bush for shit That Carter Did, Clinton Did, And This CREEP Obama Does...Like Rendition!

You have no idea how socialized healthcare works, do you? That's how PRIVATIZED healthcare works. Honestly, have do you even own any kind of healthcare? Because your arguments clearly show you do not.

[masterchiefgtx]

I don't want to scare anyone into silence...would just like you to take a honest look at decisions of past leaders...

[wideawake123]

Clinton Kidnapped more foreign nationals under "Rendition" than George Bush did. Carter/Reagan did too. Obama has killed more civilians in Afghanistan and Pakistan this past year than Bush did in the last 3! You want to distract people from what's going on here and now with bullshit stories from the past. For that it is my pleasure to expose you as a fool. Your "Messiah" is a Ghoul who commits political assasinations in friendly countries.

You are the WIlliam Tell of personal Insults. Thankyou for letting me bask in the glory of that which is your wit. Thankyou so much.

The 10th Amendment.

[LarcheOsborne]

While it is rarely used to justified legislation these days as the Commerce Clause is more applicable, I urge you to examine Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. It explicitly gives Congress the power to "provide for "the general Welfare of the United States"

Furthermore, I'm sure a Constitutional scholar such as yourself is fully aware of the Supremacy Clause of Article VI and surely realizes nothing in the 10th Amendment diminishes its meaning

[wideawake123]

@LarcheOsborne I'm still reeling from your brilliant ad hominem dude...That was spectacular. I mean...my cheeks are Stil red! I mean as far as dispensing unsolicited personal insults is concerned, You are the Master! I'm like a deer in the headlights...what's a constitution? Where am I? Article what? Where? Wow! Will You be my friend? It's like from God's lips to your fingers! Can I be your acolyte of insults?

The 10th Amendment.

[LarcheOsborne]

Forgive me if you deem my remarks too personal in nature. It was not my intention to offend you. Recently, I have become to tire of self-appointed experts who assert knowledge of how the Framers intended us to interpret the Constitution while pointing to some provisions - The 10th Amendment in this case - while ignoring other, more relevant passages. I, like every other individual who graduated from a US law school, learned the folly and dangers of such efforts.

[wideawake123]

@WilliamTell Thank you So much for your (qualified) apology. I feel so much better about your insults now(after your qualified, bullshit, "if(IF) you deem" apology)

It makes me feel so warm and fuzzy knowing that "IF" I deemed your insults intentionally insulting(and I mean who would really take a personal insult personally right?) to me personally, it was not your "intention". I shouldn't have faulted your actions, I should have lauded your intentions. My unqualified apologies sir.

[LarcheOsborne]

Apology accepted.

[wideawake123]

@LarcheOsborne That's very big of you sire.

[ianc20435]

@ wideawake123: Hang every member of Congress who voted yea?! Maybe you should be hanged for defying Democracy. Over 50% of Americans want health reform and over 30 million were denied coverage for various conditions. American Revolutionaries fought for their Independence, but you so called "patriots" relish in your ignorance of this country's history because you would be fighting to uphold the Conservative agenda. How does extending coverage coincide with the BOR? Which amendment? Tell me.

[soetebeer]

@!ianc20435 - First of all we live live in a Republic not a democracy - know the difference before you spew off ignorance. I want health reform but not criminal reform and that is what this is. American Revolution was fighting against Tyranny and tax mandates - same shit that is going on today. I uphold the Constitution you want to destroy it with NAZI SOCIALISM. THE IRS WILL MANDATE YOUR PAYMENT and are turning Health Care into commerce that is TYRANNY!

[MrTruth08]

Nazism and socialism are two opposing ideologies....

[MrTruth08]

Right and check under your bed for the boogey man! because womens rights which was started by progressives is Nazism, oh and no child labor laws is Marxism which over laps with nazism that makes America all NaziMarxist American. lol u are a fucking joke.FAILED

Ya, nobody pays attention to the bank bailout. All that happened was the US government took a loan from the banks with interest charged to you and me, and then gave the money back to the banks. It's the biggest scam and transfer of power in the history of humanity. What kills me is this kinda open corruption happens all over the world but some Americans just don't believe that it could happen here.

Millions will die of starvation when our food shipment stops coming in because of our bad debt. Go ahead and celebrate. People like you are so ignorant!

[wideawake123]

We arent a "Democracy", we're a Republic...OOPS. Also that's a lie you just told, but don't let the fact that anyone who's read a poll in the last year knows it stop you.

Then there's that pesky 10th Amendment which is always getting in the way of the federal Govt...but dont let the fact that Now 14 States are involved in a 10th Amendment suit against the Federal Govt's takeover of healthcare(Those 14 State's Attourneys General aren't as smart as You, Obiviously)

[LarcheOsborne]

And lawyers across the nation are laughing at those 14 AGs. Of course, if the taxpayers of those states are foolish enough to spend all that tax money on cases that are doomed to failure simply to win vote of reactionary know-nothings, more power to them.

[wideawake123]

@William Tell No they aren't. In fact at least 36 states are inacting legislation to opt out and render this Bill null and void for their residents. I guess they should be visited by You since you are such a "Constitutional Scholar", I'm sure you can put them all (that's 36 or 38 so far)straight.

Signed, A "Reactionary Know-nothing" who votes

[LarcheOsborne]

I make no claims of being a constitutional scholar; I am well aware of the limits to my knowledge. However, I do know and read the writings of individuals who are constitutional scholars, and I am yet to hear the most conservative of the lot (I follow the opinions of both moderate and conservative jurors), and I am yet to find one who opposes the legislation on constitutional grounds. There may be some, but they've escaped my notice. (continued)

[LarcheOsborne]

Let me add a tip I was taught by constitutional scholars who argued precedent-making cases before the Supreme Court - when someone argues for state nullification of a federal law, they know less about the Constitution than the average first year law or history student.

[wideawake123]

@William Tell So then by extention You ARE qualified to advise those 36-38 states enacting nullification laws, since they "know less about the Constitution than the average first year law or history student", and You've been taught by a "Constitutional Scholar". Looks like we need to change your name to Clarence Darrow. What a load of crap you spew.

Nullify

Repeal

and Replace it with something better.

[jasonlloyd33]

The Supreme court , conservative as they may be are not about to overturn the supremecy of federal law. It simply will not happen.

[LarcheOsborne]

I agree with you. Even Thomas would feel unease at raping the Constitution to that degree. Still, you can't trust a conservative Court. There's an excellent new book out called The Framing of the Court. The book deals with a history of judicial review and its abuses by conservative Courts throughout US history. I suspect you will enjoy it.
