And the cost that will go along with those bureaucracies. And I will guess that there a lot of other hidden provisions in this bill that will cost us dearly.

I still don't see any Senators or Congressmen or Obama himself, for that matter, coming out and saying that they will forgo their federal employee health benefits in order to take advantage of their health plan for the rest of us. I definitely believe that all those in Congress pushing this monstrosity should "lead the way" by being the first to give up their current health benefits for those they wish to push the rest of us into. I'd like to see what they thought of this plan after having been covered under it for a few years. But we all know this will never happen and we know WHY it will never happen. Federal employees will never give up the rich plans they have now for Obama care. Just like they will never give up those lucerative pension plans they have while the rest of us try to get by on Social Security. Senators, Congressmen and the President take damn good care of themselves first. Automatic salary increases, the best of insurance benefits and the best of pension benefits. YOU WANT TO SEE SOCIAL SECURITY GET FIXED REAL FAST? Just transfer all federal employee pension funds into Social Security and have all federal employees (President, Senators and Congressmen included) get the same Social Security benefits as the rest of us. After all, isn't that what the Democrats have been preaching for years? That everyone should be treated the same?

Unfortunately, I don't see the democrats waking up to what is going on and they will embrace it. I do hope they are all happy with the new hope and change.

A massive increase in taxes on the American people who reject Pelosi's good will as she defines it. Basically a serious beating with a rubber hose for willful disobedience in nonsupport of princess Pelosi's health control bill in its first form. How's that hope and change working out for you?

Then let the rest of us see the results and decide if we want it or not. If this plan is not good enough for the President and his family, not good enough for the House and Senate and their families, it is not good enough for me and my family. Oh by the way, My family and I are very happy with the private Health Care Insurance we pay for (AKA earn).
