It is unconstitutional and will bankrupt this country.
Barry and his liberal ideologues are wrong in their view of how government can solve all of society's ills.
Barry is rapidly driving this country to third world status.

I wonder if liberal garbage led to this ? There are like 10,000 hits for Sarah Palin and AZ.

is off his meds again. I am so glad that my tax dollars and SS deductions go to wingnuts like him. After all, he and his ilk (Roff) could care less that more people are beginning to understand what is actually in the Health Care bill and, hey surprise, it is actually a good thing.

Just a garage comment. You don’t/can’t disprove what Roff wrote. So you talk rediculus.

Wing nuts always believe everyone shares their point of view. It reassures them. They always speak as if they are speaking for America or they alone know the truth. They alone are patriotic. They alone understand the constitution. But their actions and words show that they understand very little about anything. Most are myopic, narrow minded, dogmatic, mean spirited, and clueless about current events ( not to mention past events) . In fact some often actively shun the facts if thefacts interfere with their pre-conceived ideas. We don't need deluded conservatives telling us what America does or doesn't wan't if it were up to them we would still be living in caves.

This wait until 2014 or more for full obamacare was never mentioned in barry campaign. Done to try and balance this bill. Many who voted for obamacare have been voted out of office.
Does not require all that much time and money to create new bill. Work has already been done. Democrats ignored the bad polls for obamacare. We won't:
“The Reform Americans Can Afford Act (H.R. 5424)”
•” Lowering health care premiums. H.R. 5424 will lower health care premiums by up to 20% compared to the Democrats’ health law for families and small businesses, addressing Americans’ number-one priority for health care reform.”
• “Establishing Universal Access Programs to guarantee access to affordable health care for those with pre-existing conditions. H.R. 5424 creates Universal Access Programs that fully fund and reform high-risk pools and reinsurance programs to guarantee that all Americans, regardless of pre-existing conditions or past illnesses, have access to affordable care – while lowering costs for all Americans.”
•” Ending junk lawsuits. H.R. 5424 would help end costly junk lawsuits and curb defensive medicine by enacting medical liability reforms modeled after successful state laws that reduce unnecessary spending and lower health insurance premiums.?
• “Preventing insurers from unjustly cancelling a policy. H.R. 5424 prohibits an insurer from cancelling a policy because an enrollee made simple errors on an insurance application forms “
• “Allowing dependents to remain on their parents’ policies. H.R. 5424 encourages coverage of young adults on their parents’ insurance through age 25.”
• “Encouraging Small Business Health Plans. H.R. 5424 gives small businesses the power to pool together and offer health insurance at lower prices, just as corporations and labor unions do.”
• “Encouraging innovative state programs. H.R. 5424 rewards innovation by providing incentive payments to states that reduce premiums and the number those who are of uninsured, without expanding government entitlement programs or creating new ones.”
• “Allowing Americans to buy insurance across state lines. H.R. 5424 increases insurance competition and lowers premiums by allowing Americans to shop for coverage from coast to coast regardless of the state they live in.”
• “Promoting healthier lifestyles. H.R. 5424 promotes prevention and wellness by giving employers greater flexibility to financially reward employees who adopt and maintain healthier lifestyles.”
• “Enhancing Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). H.R. 5424 creates new incentives to save for future health needs and allows qualified participants to use HSAs to pay health insurance premiums “
