Healthcare needed reform badly. It was taking more then it brought in. Next should be education or social security.

You have a point. Look at what President Bush did for us? Looking for weapons of mass destruction that did not exist. Paying an excess of 90 billion in a war in Iraq! Osama Bin Ladin had nothing to do with Iraq, but we took out Saddamn Hussein? Does that make sense?
And Obama trying his best to take care of issues on the home front! I say, praise Obama for his efforts.
Finally a President who cares about the American people? Would the REpublicans have done any better?

What is the matter with you people? When you defy the will of the majority it is like spitting their faces! The people have a voice and it should be heard or shall there be hell to pay for their defiance! This country was formed by and for we the people not by a defiant institution. It is the principle of the matter, what else will they defy our will on or did we turn into a weak, pathetic, looking for hand outs people that no longer cares about principles, respect, honesty and accountability?

These LOSERS never read the bill before they rushed to sign it. The only way they passed this piece of trash is through lies, promises, bribes, back room deals, arm twisting, extortion, threats, sweet million dollar deals. Democrats are LOSERS! Get your hands out the working man's pockets!!!

@13dieter It's DAMN socialists. And this ain't that, it's reform of the health INSURANCE industry, hardly something Marx would approve of. Can't speak for Jesus but it would APPEAR he'd be a Dem on this one. I don't think he was the SS guy Faux News would have us believe.
