For people who refuse to work and cover their own families, and buy new cars and tv's instead? To tax businesses so greatly that they can no longer afford to give their employees the benefit of Medical Coverage? To Tax employees on their medical coverage when they receive it as a benefit? The inmates truly are running the asylum. Pay the Government for what? For people who are not even in this Nation Legally to have Medical Coverage?

I will manage my own risk, we used to call it Liberty. This crazy notion that Medical Care requires a disproportionate expansion of everybody's budget so despots can waste money and profiteer! I don't want crazy statistical diseases and wildly impractical treatments. The Demolition Plutocrats want Medicine to put Henry The Horse on a treadmill for cash! I am not fooled anymore than George Orwell. I don't think our doctors will like it as slaves any more than we do as patients. I am a Sovereign Citizen, the closest thing to a King in America.

The latest I have heard is that the revenue side starts in 2010, but the costs don't start until 2013 or 2014. Does that mean that the 40 million uninsured people won't receive any benefits until 2013? If they have to wait 3 more years, why is it critical or urgent that we pass this bill today?

It is a giant SCAM that would further destroy our health care, our economy, our freedoms and our country. The similarities between the Obamacare bills and the “URGENT,” “SAVE-THE-POOR” constitutions of Chavez, Ortega, Morales and the rest of the Marxist thugs are amazing. Venezuelans, Bolivians, Ecuadorians were manipulated, coerced and bribed into approving those constitutions, which have taken away people’s freedoms and rights, and multiplied poverty and despair. We pray our representatives have the courage and integrity to defend us from the criminal Obamacare scam, which seeks to impose socialism/Marxism on us.
