Sad to see the public option go. Seems some thought that having a middleman(insurance companies)who was in it only to sponge the system for profit was good for our health, go figure. Thanks to them we pay more for health care by far than any other country yet we have so many without or with inadequate coverage.

Obama's new plan will guarantee that everyone will have no health care AND no job!

America = debt = will have to pay someday = unknown

Jake tapper really knows how to make politicians piss themselves.

Hey, look, it's the rarest footage of all: Obama holding a press conference. How long has it been now since Barry held a press conference? Guess that whole 'transparency' thing he promised was just another crock of shit.

[DarkLordCallMeDickC]

Obama is the man.

taxes too. you act as if its just certain people who are chosen to have "money taken from them" i remember a crappy fast food job when i was in high school, i have NEVER cared to pay taxes bc its fair, id rather help a sick stranger get better than have him potentially spread a sickness that could have been prevented and my child catch it....RIPPLE EFFECT. stop being so selfish....
