@framptonorchablis Actually i did read a vast amount of the 2,074 pages of the bill. I didn't have time to read it all because i actually have some kind of life outside of trying to keep up with every deceptive demoncratic lie that spews out of their filthy mouth. However, if you also read even a little bit of it, i would suggest you take a reading comprehension course. Or you could just pull your head out of your ass for like..one second.

The law has been available for public viewing for months. If you are so worried that it is a government takeover, why don't you read the damn thing?

Nancy-Ann DeParle has been a director on the boards of several health care firms. Wouldn't she notice if this was an attempt to drive private companies out of business?

More obviously, wouldn't have health care stocks went down after the bill passed? Instead, most of them went up. Why don't you believe the free market?

I think Nancy truely believes what Obama has said about the bill, but then again i believe all the sheeple believe what Obama says. It's so very absolutely clear that this is not about healthcare reform at all. It's about government take over, pure and simple. This will put the private companies out of business and what do you have left. *slaps forehead* DUH! government healthcare ONLY! That's their damn goal, wake the hell up people.

The only puppeteer today is OBAMA and he's definately pulling your strings. The lies hes produce since day one has been amazing. Its started with "Theres not one ear markin this stimulus bill!" Hell hardly any stimulus in that stimulus bill.

This is Illegal... Enumerated powers. The Constitution grants the federal government about thirty-five specific powers eighteen in Article I, Section 8, and the rest scattered throughout the document. (The exact number depends on how you count.) None of those powers seems to authorize control of the health care system outside the District of Columbia and the federal territories.

Private Health Insurance Co.s (HIC) and their Repugliban puppets are doing everything to maintain their POWER over the American People. HIC want to continue SCAMMING us out of our money and DENYING us CARE! Standing BETWEEN YOU and YOUR Doctor, they deny the doctor's prescription if it is expensive, making sure you get the CHEAPEST pill, NOT the MOST EFFECTIVE! HIC have ONLY ONE concern: Pay minimum, maximize profit, get HUGE BONUSES!

With more than 60% of US bankruptcies are related to medical bills, an increase of nearly 50% in a six-year period, and three-quarters of these people had medical insurance. No other country has a medical system that makes people go bankrupt. Our health care system is totally broken. This is a clear case of health insurance companies behaving badly.

Unless you are the health insurance companies, no reform is not an option for most of us. We need to exercise our right to build a better future.
