Ya know, it's kinda hard to take over the health system in a free country by telling the truth. I mean, you can't just come out and say I'm going to make all of you who pay for insurance now, pay more so we can pay the health costs for those who don't or can't, so I guess it's because of all of you who worked hard to get where you are now and might not want to pay for that guy and gal or family of six with the 75 inch TV in their project house and who sleep in each morning while you go to work, it is you who cause President Obama and his minions to lie about the Affordable Care Act and how it will not let you keep your insurance and doctor because silly you, you need to pay more for those who pay nothing, simple as that and it always was. So, get over it and hand it over and be sure to vote Dem again in 2014.
Again, the level of accurate information seems like an unimportant criteria in your bashing viewpoints. The bill was not just created for those who are economically poor or those with pre-existing conditions. Since the healthcare concepts came directly from the Republicans at the end of the last century; it was to focus on small business employees. Unlike large corporations, small businesses had a very hard time finding good affordable health coverage for their employees. Again, unlike large corporations, the owner of the business generally knew all their employees on a first name basis. And there were many instances in which an employee fell very ill or was injured and could not work. Unlike most conservatives in this nation these days, a lot of those business owners did try to help the employee out where they could; but resources were limited. An that nearly 80% of US Jobs are from small business entities, its fair to say who gains the most from the Affordable Care Act.
The President never took over the health care system. Just like he didn't take over GM (go ahead, call me on this....I dare you). The President and Congress were voted in to office in 2000 by....get this...the PEOPLE of the United States. And most of them, utterly sick of the failed Bush White House and Republicans, voted in many Democrats. So 'yes' the nation wanted healthcare coverage. And it got healthcare coverage. A system had to be created and no, it was not perfect. But its a much better system than the one in place before. An Republican/Tea Party folks have not created a plan that is better than the Affordable Care Act. How many people, nation wide, have read the actual law to day?
The really sad this here, is that I know YOU never read the ACA. I read the law. The President didn't lie. It's stated right in the law (I forget the page number off hand), but it explains that 40-67% of current insurance plans would be removed and new ones created that followed the guidelines under the new law. So the number is about 80%; But that seems fairly correct given that insurance companies do not wish to create a conflicting situation that might cost them heavily in a court case after March 31, 2010. And why is that date important? Its explained in the ACA! So if your mad that you didn't get your doctor, go blame the insurance company. If your mad you have to choose a new plan, blame the insurance company. President Obama does not control the insurance companies in the nation; you are REALLY misinformed if you believe otherwise.
In 2014, most Americans will be reminded of WHO shut the government down. WHO spoil their vacations and businesses. WHO demanded a law be removed or else. Yes, the moderates will join with the liberals and vote in more Democrats. Don't like it? Maybe you should hold your party to twice the level of accountability and responsibility with power as you slam the President and Democrats on an hourly basis. While your at it....READ....the Affordable Care Act. Its only 2409 pages long.....

Should all of the poor be thrown out of the u.s. because they do not pay their "fair share" of national defense?
