So are we wards of the state yet?
And what crap is this from The New York Times??
What is that?! A halo around his head? Is that a medical cross? Is the White House supposed to be the manger, where the savior is from?!
These people are INSANE! They mock Christians for believing in Jesus, and then have the gall to spew this crap. Unbelievable!
Washington is already debating how pivotal the vote will be to his presidency. Mr. Obama has devoted vast energy and political capital over the last 14 months to get to this point, the presidential equivalent of an all-in bet on the poker table. Should he fail to push his plan through a Congress with strong Democratic majorities, it would certainly damage his credibility as a leader for months, and maybe years. Already the fight has scarred Washington, leaving behind a polarized and angry political elite and questions about whether the system is broken.
If Mr. Obama falls short on health care, his hopes of passing other ambitious legislation like an overhaul of immigration and a market-based cap on carbon emissions to curb climate change would seem out of reach, at least for the rest of this year. Much of Washington would question whether he is weak, some Democratic candidates would run away from him and Mr. Obama would be forced to consider a narrower agenda like that pursued by Bill Clinton after his own health care drive collapsed.
Oh, boo hoo.
And please tell me what concern of it is to The New York Times? Don’t those high rollers already have gold-standard health care? I don’t believe for a second that the uber-rich editors of the The New York Times care one whit for us little folks. No way. This is all about POWAH, raw power.
I’m tired of all of this stuff. It’s SO OBVIOUS that we Americans do not want government-run health care. Moreover, the whole blasted thing is so illegal to our form of government that it’s treasonous. What the ?! How can they still be banging this through?

It would be different story if either bill actually addressed the issues of the high costs, but they don’t. Here’s an example: I can be a nebulizer for $39 brand new on the open market. A person’s medical insurance would be charged $480 for the same exact device. That is absolutely insane.
