Winx...you do realize that anything with .gov after it isn't exactly going to be an unbiased source??? LOL I had read and been told that anytime you go to a .gov site, that now the govt can access your computer and scan whatever you are doing/done. Do you belive this? You mean the Chinese Govt.? http://www.webpronews.com/topnews/2010/02/19/google-attacks-traced-to-chinese-schools-more-questions-arise

Obama got voted in on healthcare reform and he is doing what we voted him in for. So to say that Americans do not want it, is not true. Obama got in to do it. Yes and may I add he won by a landslide And if his idea of immigration " reform ", which is next on the agenda starting tomorrow, winds up being amnesty ( which the Dems will ALSO shove down our throats even though the VAST majority of Americans would be against it ), he's gonna LOSE by a landslide in a couple of years. Unfortunately, by then it will be too late to undo the damage. I wouldn't say that. When we take the House and Senate this year there wont be much he will be able to pass on his own and will be forced to be bipartisan like he promised. It is just sad that that is what it is going to take to force him to keep one of his major campaign promises.

Yes and may I add he won by a landslide 5-10% isn't a landslide...... 10% is quite a landslide...could have voted for the crypt keeper McCain but some idiot decided it would be a good idea to have Palin as his running mate (fyi...thats what killed McCain) Palin is a MORON!!!

For the FIRST time in the history of our nation, you are REQUIRED BY LAW to PURCHASE GOVERNMENT HEALTH INSURANCE as a CONDITION OF CITIZENSHIP. Oh - your relationship to your 'government' also just underwent a 180-degree shift. We are now a RULED people - we are no longer 'governed'. There's a difference.

Noone is required to purchase GOVERNMENT HEALTH INSURANCE...the majority of insured will still be PRIVATELY insured.....and we are still governed.

As opposed to George W Bush and the Patriot Act...just got to wonder where some people were while our rights were being stripped on that one

This has to do with our country and not learning from other countries, our own states or from history. One party being allowed to make such comprehensive change without ONE vote from the other party and without the blessing of their constituents ... This wasn't some political tug-of-war ... this was every horrible thing they accused Bush of being (but never was). The German word for what happened is 'PUTSCH' ... and it took place in the Congressional 'bierhalle' ... "Papieren, bitte!"

This event will consume the Obama presidency much like the Iraqi war consumed Bush's.

If you have insurance already, you don't have to do either one of those things.

Or be Fined.... now you have to buy insurance, instead of passing the cost of EVERYONES healthcare down to those who have purchased insurance,,,, Like drivers had to buy insurance and wear seat belts, to avoid passing their cost on to me when they have an accident, all fine by me

Believe what you will. THIS will become your reality soon enough: " ... There will be no loyalty, except loyalty towards the Party. There will be no love, except the love of Big Brother. There will be no laughter, except the laugh of triumph over a defeated enemy. There will be no art, no literature, no science. When we are omnipotent we shall have no more need of science. There will be no distinction between beauty and ugliness. There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always - do not forget this, Winston - always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - for ever." ... " You. Are. Now. RULED.
