I looked through the first 3 pages of threads here, I didn't see any threads on this, so I felt it was important enough to start a new one, since they are gonna be voting on this thing soon.

I think God is trying to stop them with this blizzard, God is telling them, stop, you fools!

This thing is going to destroy the US economy. The US is going to default on it's obligations and that will be worse than having to pay off the 10 trillion dollar debt. Either way we are in trouble. They maybe have good intentions, they want to be heroes and insure people but this is going to be the end of the United States.

Everything is already made in China and Mexico, etc, etc, because employers don't want to give their employees benefits or comply with all the stupid Affirmative action laws, and EPA laws, the endless regulations.

Senate Democrats Warn House Not to Toy With Health Bill

FOXNews.com

Senate Democrats are warning the House not to make any significant changes to the health care package heading toward a vote in their chamber if they want the bill to survive past Christmas. Do not mess with this bill.

That was the message Senate Democrats sent to their colleagues on the House side over the weekend, warning them not to make any significant changes to the health care package heading toward a vote in their chamber if they want the bill to survive past Christmas.

I do not understand how people can be so stupid as to believe insurance companies are going to save us all, after the whole AIG debacle and the whole credit-default swap mess that created an insurance bubble that nearly destroyed the world economy and insurance crooks made off with trillions of dollars. Yes, they were selling insurance, that's what derivatives and credit-default swaps were, they were selling insurance that they didn't have the money to back up.
This is both mind boggling stupidity combined with an emboldened insurance mafia that become even more daring and bold after nobody lynched the mobsters behind the whole credit default swap scam. They now think they can do absolutely anything and get away with it.

The whole drug presciption benefit plan was a 2 trillion dollar transfer of weath from the taxpayers to drug companies and insurance companies, you can buy 3 months worth of drugs from Kroger or Walmart now for 10 dollars, there was absolutely no need for this shit that is going to ruin this country. Stupid, greedy criminals are going to ruin the dollar and then the world. Now they've approved a 628 billion dollar defense bill, why? They are all going to have nothing, their money is going to be worth nothing, they are burning down their own house.
