ObamaCare is coming...
March 22nd 2010 12:34
Well, Obamacare is on it’s way. The President broke every campaign promise he made after meeting behind closed doors for weeks on end (he promised more transparency in the government!), and leaving all the special interest, pork barrel bribery (payoffs for votes in favor of bill) in the healthcare bill that passed Sunday, March 21st. In his speech on Saturday, the President called on the Congress to ‘ignore your constituents’. Never in the history of our nation has such sweeping legislation been passed in the face of such bipartisan opposition.
Never, in the history of our nation, have the leaders of a party had to stoop to so many bribes and threats to pass a piece of legislation. In addition to the cornhusker kickback and the Louisiana purchase, you have a new Student Loan takeover exemption for North Dakota, which Nancy Pelosi snuck into the reconciliation bill to get a needed vote from that state.
But all is not lost. There will be a long line of legal challenges now, including Attorney Generals in several states suing the federal government over lost Medicaid & Medicare monies. The ACLU and other rights groups plan to file lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of requiring Americans to buy insurance (or anything for that matter!). There is legal precedence in this matter. And of course the fallout will be a republican controlled house next year, because I guarantee you that voters will turn out in droves to remove arrogant legislators who ignored the people they were supposed to represent from office.
In the meantime, we will have to endure the Obama road show, where he talks about how great he is to have passed this, and how much better it will make things, even though no government program in history has ever lived up to its expectations. We know this one will be the biggest mess yet. I just wonder how much it will REALLY cost us…

It's sad, we are the richest nation, yet we rank last in many aspects of health and health provider benefits.
I agree with you that no one should be forced, by law, to purchase anything; even car insurance, for that matter. I'm sick to death of seeing Obama's face all over the news talking in his preacher-like voice. It truly gets on my effing nerves.
I did vote for him, but the alternative was a geriatric puppet that couldn't distinguish his ass from a hole in the ground. I digress.
