@YourLoveLetter i was referring to universal health care, the term obama spammed during his campaign. thats why i put "universal" in quotation marks i was being a little sarcastic. but instead we get mandated insurance by 2014. sure the pre-existing condition was BS. But corporations like mcdonalds can still opt out of having to pay for employee's healthcare. so still the corporations are in power, not really change in my opinion.

@OGhoboleader lol im assuming you mean universal health insurance.. most people that are against it have no idea what it is or even the correct name of it, funny. It doesnt allow the insurance companies to turn away anyone for preexisting conditions, old age, terminally ill etc. Its criminal that they were ever allowed to even do that. It also raised taxes on pop, junk food, tanning etc. Maybe to encourage Americans to make healthier choices.

@YourLoveLetter YAAA INCREASE MILITARY SPENDING WOOOOOO. LETS INVADE LIBYA NEXT!! OMG I LOVE OUR NEW "UNIVERSAL" HEALTHCARE SYSTEM NOW! I cant wait for more economic reform that supports our special interest groups. arent you all excited? WE NEED more bankers in this administration! 1 jp morgan executive isnt enough guys.
