I challenge any right-wing conservative who wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act this question....Do you believe that insurance companies should be permitted to cancel somebody's EXISTING coverage AFTER they become sick? Yes or No?
If your answer is no, how do you expect insurance companies to stay in business and/or keep the cost of health insurance from skyrocketing to cost-prohibitive levels without all Americans taking personal responsibility and purchase their own insurance coverage?
WRONG THIS IS THE DAY WE ALL PAY MORE.. FOR A MAN WHO WE DONT KNOW WHO DOESNT EVEN WORK.. TO PAY FOR HIS HEALTH CARE.. IS THIS CANADA??? IS THIS A SOCIALIST COUNTRY????? WHAT HAVE WE COME TO!
What all those liberal fools do not realize is there is already a shortage of doctors, and now the libocrats will add some 32 million in the health care system! What does that mean? HEALTH CARE RATIONING! Good luck in making an appointment and getting to see a doctor in 6 months! If they dont think there will be rationing, they are fooling themselves.

I'll be glad to see an end to insurance companies' ability to deny coverage to sick people, and even to cancel plans when people become ill! Compassion is important in healthcare, something which insurance companies completely lack, as they only care about profiting. The stress of illness in the family will no longer be compounded by unaffordable medical bills.
People in Massachusetts ... if they do not have insurance -- even if they lost their jobs and COBRA ran out, are fined $1,000 annually by the State. Does this ObamaCare bill mean Massachusetts residents will have to pay twice ... on both a federal and state level?
Nobody cares that these people do not have to folow the same laws? They can have private doctors! If it's so great, why don't they join there government healthcare??
@yelnahfef2 thats a negative. My taxes pay for them to have the best healthcare. Now I also have to pay for everybody to have shitty health care. See ya in line!
I'm very happy for you Democrat Americans for not giving up for the sake of humanity. I don't see how anyone can be so hard-hearted and selfish to not want to take that murderous power away from insurance companies who did this HMO holocaust with impunity for so many decades. Truth is Americans were supposed to have universal health care long ago under Truman but again Republicans with their monstrous disregard for the common good got in the way but not anymore....I'm glad!
@hilololomoa In a bit of good news for conservatives: It was just reported on ABC World News that (with the new reform bill) abortions from rape and incest births will be covered by the government.
The bad new is we have no job. Our apology to those whose just about to lose their jobs due to Govt. healthcare mandates on your employers. Look at the bright side we have healthcare. Yes, Victory, Success.
By the way college and high school students please pay your monthly healthcare bill on time so that we wont have to incarcerate your behinds.
I don't have to worry about that. For you see, the bill also mandates that insurance companies cover the children of those with plans until they are 26.
are u braindead? nobody will go to jail for not paying for insurance, not paying a debt is not a crime idiot.
companies won't fire people because of it, simply will put some of their profits into the pockets of their employees instead of the rich boss only like mcdonalds. None of mcdonalds employees have insurance, now they will .
That's a good progress, hopefully it will work fine for everyone. the best thing in the bill is to stop the non-sense of pre-existing condition and the practice of terminating contracts when the insured becomes too costly ill.
FINALLY!! Boy those fundies who don't give a shit about their fellow americans really tried to kill this health bill. look out though, they're trying to pull an Orwellian by re-writing history in Texas. Soon the confederacy will be along side Abraham Lincoln. Go theocratic barbarism.
Wow...America...you're so very screwed. Anybody that can put two braincells together can see through the scam. I'm not even American nor do I live in the US, but I am highly envious of your constitution and bill of rights. You poor souls...
Congratulations you Americans, you're not TOTALLY hopeless of a country now.
To think there was actually someone who believed in something else than private companies and sheepishly giving easy dollar bills to 70-year-old men with Yachts and Villas.
Of course the trailer park dwellers will be utterly raged but hey...
This is a bunch of BS. Democrats are so stupid. Now we are all gonna have to pay for the fat overweight people out there who dont take care of themseleves. You could never use the health care but you are still paying for everybody else who dosent care.....and less people will because they now have health insurance. I cant belive that america is becoming so stupid and letting the freedom that we fight so hard to keep slip away. Obama biden and pelosi are a bunch of idoits.
by the way cancer is not there because people does not "take care of themselves"" as you said it. Obesity is mostly genetics as last studies have been shown. Oh and schezophrenia, alzemeirhs and many other diseases are not becuase the person is ""an idiot"" or "didn't take care of himself/herself""
Never try to explain intelligence to an idiot. That is like telling a man to duck in war when the bullets are flying. If someone is that dumb. That is their problem.
How stupid can i get....your the one who likes watching our freedom slide away...I dont care if obesity is genetics you can still eat right and excersise. America is the fatest country in the world...we also have the most fast food places...genetics is just a bullshit excuse. People are just way to lazy these days, and im not gonna work my but off so they can be lazy and countine having health problems when they can be prevented......
The only people against this bill have never been denied by their insurance company for an illness, have never been inflicted with a life long illness or no one in their family has been inflicted with a serious illness! Proud day to be a Democrat and fuck the TeaBaggers!
Seriously people freedom slips away a little at a time. When you start being forced to do things and choice is taken away, you are losing freedom. Ex. a man and his family rarely get sick so they see no need to pay almost $6K in premiums a year for something they don't use. Coincidentally he has had 4 children w/out health insurance, he arranges with a doctor who will take a cash payment prior to delivery (at lower cost) $1800-$2000, now he will pay how much a year? You call that freedom?
@speck2552 and if one of those children gets hit by a car or falls and breaks a leg? will he pay the 20-30thousand out of pocket? or maybe the insurance will come in handy? or if they get struck by an ailment that costs hundreds of thousands? self-insurance and hsas don't work for people who aren't rich unless they're lucky and don't get sick
Don't bother trying to speak common sense to some of these people. The concept of personally paying a million dollars to treat your cancer (a complete and total impossibility unless you're filthy rich) was OK with them.
@countryboy4391 wait...so having universal health care = slavery, but needing to pay thousands of dollars a year to private companies who just make profit off you and will most likely refuse any coverage they can justify?
he is a tea bagger republikkkan, what else can you expect from some uneducated redneckkks who think that by siding with the rich, then they are better.
Yes i am a republican, im not siding with the rich im siding with commen sense. Im not rich and i probally never will be. I work hard for what i have and i hate giving it away to people who are to lazy to get off there asses and make a living. I already have to pay for there welfare. You are so closed minded all hear is the good and not the bad....your just a stupid democrat who has no commen sense
Wow, this is really radical, insurance companies will actually have to pay to treat sick people? they can't just take their premiums and drop them when they get sick? does this mean Ronald Williams (Aetna's CEO) will have to settle for less than 42 million dollars a year? poor guy.
This Day will go down in History as the Day that Stopped Insurance Company's from Abusing their Customers & gave their Power to the people.
As a Democrat I'm Looking Forward to Debating this Bill in the Fall & I welcome Conservatives & Republicans to Defend Insurance Company's why we Defend their Customers & let the Chips fall where they may.
What is every one complaining about, ..."we lost our freedom"??? Government can't obligate us to buy health insurance??? U People are DUMB!! If you own a car you Must have Insurance and you know it, and yes by LAW...So Isn't your health more important than your car. And really learn the truth and stop watching so much FOX news. Its dumber to believe everything Republicans tells just because they cause fear. They wan't you to be afraid so they can enlarge their pockets.
The government, or any other form of power, has a predicable habbit of slowly gaining power once it has found an opportunity. Just look at the bailout of the car companies. Because our government bought out these companies, they hold the upperhand over many of these companies and now control them more than the owners do. Its just human nature and the same thing will happen to the health care bill. I'm not trying to start anything, but its bound to happen at some point...
But you don't have to buy a car. See you still have a choice in that matter. You can choose to either pay the insurance on the car and the car payments, or you cannot buy one and not have to pay. This is forcing you to spend money on you and saying "It's for your own good cuz we know better."
The freedom to have a choice in what I believe what is right. Too much government power is not a good thing for The United States("No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. So, governments' programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth."- Ronald Regan)
