More like “Set the bridge on fire, then have everyone run across it as fast as they can. Those who won’t run will be fined.”
“The monstrous mountain of toxic pustules sprouting from greasy boils metastasizing from malign carbuncles that passed the Senate on Christmas Eve”
Mark certainly nailed the description.
Why can it not be repealed? 2010 Elections, impeach and deport the Kenyan, fire all his czars, then repeal this flawed legislation. It can be done, the 2010 elections are the key.
I agree.
While the taxation will start immediately, and no doubt be spent as fast as collected, the “benefits” don’t start ‘till after the next presidential election.
Turn the bums out, shut down the taxes, then kill the program.
With some luck, we’ll only be out a year’s worth of extortion, which isn’t good, but would be nothing close to the disaster intended.
They do as they please without any concern whatsoever of the things in this article.
That is the real problem, not health care. Not cap a trade. As long as all us idiots keep arguing about health care we are lost.
The lefties have learned a new trick, idiots. They figured out they can have and do whatever they please so long as they let us have our castrated version of our second amendment. As long as we have a 100 year old technology of a firearm in our closet at home we can keep telling ourselves how free we are and pat ourselves on the backs.
We are idiots and we deserve what we get.

Yes. And the Republican Party has drawn a line in the sand. We believe that it is unconstitutional for the government to force people to buy insurance. The Democrats disagree.
That should be THE defining issue of 2010. That and the economy. Americans don’t like being told what they can and cannot do.
Even Snowe and Collins voted the right way when push came to shove. We need to get as many Republicans elected as we can.
You think Obama is going to allow the GOP to repeal his signature achievement? Fat chance.

I agree , it simply won’t happen at the Federal level ,, but if we give him 20 or 30 different state fights we could win or delay until we can win at the Federal (probably SC) level.
The 2010 elections may allow us to take back the House, but we won’t be able to get a super-majority in the senate. Didn’t they sneak a provision into this bill that it would require 67 votes to repeal?
We need to start in on our congressmen again & try to stop it from ever going into effect. Tar & feathers might be needed.
The outrage here is that near 70% of the voters in this country wanted the bill dead and they spit in our eye and passed it anyway. That 70% will reach 95% once the idiots figure out what just got stuffed down the back of their shirts. They still think their health insurance problems just got solved. Give it a few years and see what they think then.
I don't just want it de-funded or repealed, I want 60 people prosecuted.
yes but it is insignificant. All they have to do is repeal the law that says it takes 67 and change it to whatever they want. this is the least of our problems.
I have to snicker when my cousins from Canukistan tell me how great their Health plan is, it is true that they can get Cuban Cigars and rum but I don't think that that compensated.
Only one problem there. 80% do not approve of this in the first place.
“Looking at the millions of Americans it leaves uninsured, and the millions it leaves with worse treatment and reduced access, and the millions it makes pay significantly more for their current health care, one can only marvel at Harry Reid’s genius: government health care turns out to be all government and no health care. Adding up the zillions of new taxes and bureaucracies and regulations it imposes on the citizenry, one might almost think that was the only point of the exercise.”
Steyn again shows his ability to distill things into clarity.
As I’ve said, I only hope he’s still around to keep me (at least) laughing as we’re led off to the rice fields.
If the health care bill is going to have so revolting an impact upon the majority of voters, then it is not irreversible.
The real risk is that the health care bill (or is follow-ups) “works” in some limited sense and tempts the American populace into an American version of the corrupt “social democratic” bargain in Europe — government relieves you of most of the risk of living in capitalist society, while also denying you many of the rewards. Lots of liberals and Europeans will defend that bargain, but it is basically hopeless when married with a sharply-declining birth rate and fierce competition from the developing world...
