The new health-care legislation that passed the Senate on Christmas Eve is known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. A different version of health-care reform passed the House last month. There will most likely be a "conference committee" of both chambers named to work out a compromise.
But if the Democrats in the House can muster enough votes, they could simply agree on the Senate version -- thereby ensuring quick action to enact the legislation before the president's State of the Union address Jan. 20.

Here is what normally happens: we see a bill we hate. We call, email, fax, write. Congress ignores us and passes the bill anyway. We give up the fight, feel dejected for a few hours, then continue on our merry way. We have accepted the inevitable and become obedient sheeple to more, intrusive, abusive big government. After all, they must be smarter than we, the people.
THIS CANNOT HAPPEN THIS TIME!
From now until November 2010, we continue emailing, calling, visiting, faxing, going to town hall meetings, writing. We continue protests in D.C. and all cities across the U.S.A, especially the state capitols. We have to keep the pressure on. Why? Because the American people - you know, “We, the people” - must be awakened. Because it is they who are needed to vote most of this incorrigibly-corrupt Congress.
http://pushbackuntil.com (especially http://pushabackuntil.com/Mandates.htm) specify what laws we need passed to ensure that our country continues to exist. Because Congress has placed us in such a deep hole fiscally, and it appears that absolutely none of them - do not listen to what they say - is doing anything to solve that problem.
Oh - and we have to have conservatives run for these offices. If we just sit around complaining, we will get what we have been getting for decades. So either run or help someone you know run. Donate time and money. Talk to your neighbors and friends. Act! And pass on the http://pushbackuntil.com URL so everyone knows the plan and the way to execute that plan.
I heard Obamacare described as doing to the health system what replacing interstate highways with dirt roads would to our transportation system.
I would like to know what happens when middle class workers are forced to pay these taxes/premiums and cannot make their house payments, etc?????
people don’t understand...this has nothing to do with healthcare or healthcare reform.
it has to do with opressive governance.
think about it. this is the second time “healthcare reform” has been used as the vehicle.
first time = HillaryCare
now = ObamaCare
did anyone see people standing on corners with signs demanding healthcare reform during HillCare or ObamaCare?
No.
the deal is this...with the government running “healthcare reform”, THEY CAN SKIM BIG $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
it’s all about POWER/CONTROL.
same w/ “global warming”...all about control.
look outside. record lows AGAIN this year.
Government will then have to come to their rescue, as normal. This is what we are up against. It is insidious and diabolical. And Congress is fully corrupt. That is why 90% of them need to get booted out at the first opportunity.

the simple answer would seem to be “quit paying taxes”
