Simplest terms, obamacare is total control of your life by gubmint.
What is in the bill for words is meaningless, the bill will be used to exert influence and control by future modifications.
You don’t know much about the health care bill and yet you ask a question like this:
“How drastically did Joe Lieberman’s provisions alter the bill? What is the difference between a public option and healthcare “exchanges?””

I have two questions for you:
1. Are you a high school student looking for help with your homework?
2. Why are you so concerned now — where have you been?
Inner Party Member O’Brien (from Orwell’s 1984) explains it all quite clearly:
“The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently.”
1) It's not about health care, it's about power.
2) It's unconstitutional.
The states are getting up in arms over this. It's developing into a practical example of a state nullification effort in action, right now, regarding this health care monstrocity.
States join to fight and nullify Federal Health Care legislation
Well when Mommy and Daady love each other very much.....
If you have an HSA, wave bye-bye to it.....
It’s not about health care. It’s about mandatory health insurance run by the government. The details you can get from one of the .gov websites, but it’s around 2,000 pages and more than likely in language not meant for the average citizen to understand, and that’ why most of our esteemed politicians haven’t bothered to read it.
Do you ski? ride a motorcycle? rock climb? race boats? cars? skydive?
Those will drive up the costs, as of 2014 they will be verboten.
Oh, then there’s fast food, fattening foods,..........
If this bill extends coverage to even 20,000,000 currently uninsured it will create a backlog for those seeking treatment from doctors or hospitals. Instead of waiting two weeks for an appointment it will be more like two months or more.
This bill will not reform the current system, it will destroy it.
Right now, we are focused on reforming health care, which is just one of the many challenges facing our nation. Americans want and deserve access to quality and affordable care. But at the same time, Americans are growing tired of what has become the typical Washington response to our nation's problems: grow government and spend more money.
The latest version of the Senate bill does just that while leaving 23 million of America's uninsured without insurance. The bill increases taxes by $518 billion, cuts Medicare by $470 billion, and imposes an unfunded mandate on Florida's Medicaid system resulting in $3.5 billion in additional state spending on Medicaid.
In recent weeks, I have had an ongoing dialogue with Floridians by phone, personal meetings and email to learn about your concerns on health care. Overwhelmingly, the consensus is that the current proposal will increase health care costs and hurt the quality of care.
I had looked forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle and had hoped they would share my urgency in putting aside the partisan rancor, solving problems, and doing what's right for our nation. I had remained hopeful that we could reach consensus on a plan that would reduce costs and increase access to health care while protecting the quality of care for all Americans. It could have been done. Instead, this week in Congress we're creating a new trillion dollar entitlement program.
I regret that I will not be able to support the bill pending in the Senate.
This thing they are calling healthcare reform is nothing but the fedgov take over of the medical industry. Look at what they have done to the banks and the auto industry. Only this is very different. The senate/house bill will give feds the power to determine what medical procedures they will pay for and what they won’t. And don’t think for a minute that they won’t politicize this. Look at how this admin treated the auto dealers. In England, a pregnant woman had to wait 11 months to see a doctor for prenatal care. All the efficiency of the post office with all the compassion of the irs.
That’s easy:
1. Gimme all your money.
2. Shut up and die.
There is no “Bill”- there is 2700 pages of gibberish. The sloppy ingredients of an unsavory sausage yet to be packed into a casing with the final help of congress.
What they voted on was a concept- govt control of healthcare as a “right” and an entitlement- “Healthcare” to be defined by the guarantor. The Government.

Just know that harry reid (and his political god - the all wonderful, chill-giver, the great islamic muslim-in-chief) has told you that you will greet the new health care bill with "joy and happiness".
That should be enough for anyone!
Now shut up and drink the nice koolaide!
The funny thing is, noone on this post can answer your question.
