Comments on: Is It Health Reform Or Deform?

Ten GOP states are even threatening lawsuits against the federal government once the bill is signed. What's next, seceding from the 50-state union? Once that bill is passed & signed it's "law," unless the GOP wins big in the elections to become the majority again & takes steps to repeal it (JERKS)! I personally have had my fill of 8 years of Republican rule @ the federal level & Bush! Time to move on to other major problems in America like "JOBS," EDUCATION, HOMELAND SECURITY & OUR BORDERS, STOPPING THE WAR, ETC. ... *** *** Again, it’s not over ’til it’s over when it comes to the health-care bill & the obstructing Republican Party with their, “Have gots” tea-party followers, etc..

If you are driving around without insurance and get caught you will be fined and if you do it regularly you could wind up in jail. Seems okay to me. Same needs to apply to health insurance.

The parliamentarian ruled against the first senate Republican shot to strike down the fixer bill as not qualifying as reconciliation. Please, the Republicans have and will continue to throw every parliamentarian trick to delay, derail and whatever means they can dream up to muck this up. You know the senate Republicans have quadrupled the number of filibusters within a twelve-month period. The senate parliamentarian is going to be the most popular guy in the Senate this week. I bet the Republicans will submit 75-100 amendments that can't be debated but will fill the chamber with hot, acrid air. They already started tonight TC.

I understand 10 states are already preparing lawsuits. I am totally against fining people for failing to purchase insurance. I understand 10 states are already preparing lawsuits.

No help in this bill until 2014 from what I can see. As for what this reform is suppose to achieve in terms of bringing premiums down across the board, I don't see it. Why were we in a rush to pass a bill when the majority of provisions don't come into effect for 4 years? I agree we needed reform, just not this reform. I don't consider myself a Democrat or a Republican these days. I see this as a problem for Congressional Democrats in November. The everyday people I talk to--not politically active bloggers etc.--are outraged ... Hopefully they take steps to fix this mess sooner rather than later.

Obama in less than a year and a half passed a bill that most presidents could not do. Obama did not sit on his butt like the Republicans!
