"That's what I will do in bringing all parties together, not negotiating behind closed doors, but bringing all parties together, and broadcasting those negotiations on C-SPAN so that the American people can see what the choices are, because part of what we have to do is enlist the American people in this process,"--Barack Obama, January 2008.
It's good to be King, even if you're a Narcissistic Kenyan Usurper.
That's the kind of health plan that normal, working, taxpaying Americans (the Republican "base") will need so they don't have to wait in line with the deadbeats, losers, and parasites (the Democrat "base") for rationed Mengelecare. It's just like all those "supplemental" plans the seniors on Medicare need.
Congratulations, America, on your "historic" election.
This could possibly work in our favor by splitting the Democrats. Some of them are likely to rebel over taxing union workers, especially if they are up for re-election in November and need to keep the base happy.
Let’s wait and see. Don’t know what Obama’s reasoning is on this, but it could put a wrench in the health care debate.
Obama: “EVERYBODY bend over. Yes, even you union folks. This is going to hurt a little bit. But you’re going to LOVE me in the morning. Trust me on this.”
some people chose to forego raises in exchange for better health coverage.
These aren’t all rich folks.
It isn’t about health care! Just keep reminding yourself that this is about control, empowering the federal oligarchy until the Republic is no more. The end is near, now. Just two more pieces of the puzzle need be put in place and the American economy will crash as planned and the global controls will be enacted, with the blessing of the dependency class democrats have been cultivating lo these several decades now. The new currency has already been printed and is stored safely in Switzerland, to be doled out when the time is right. The global banking powers that be have graduated from Jekel Island to encompass the entire planet. America’s moldy old Constitution won’t satnd in the way, since the people no longer take thier sovereignty seriously.
There will be some sort of exemption for union programs until the government payor option goes into law. Look for the industries where unions carry their own insurance to be forced into insuring the union members in their companies, so the unions can be freed to donate more to the election coffers of the oligarch democrats controlling the state and dictating the laws.
This bastard is a liar, a thief, a phony and a TYRANT!!!
Perhaps the idiot unions whose members enjoy generous health care plans will reassess their support for this bastard.
This could possibly work in our favor by splitting the Democrats. Some of them are likely to rebel over taxing union workers That's what I hope, too. Obama's screwing everyone on this one. He's let down a lot of his supporters. More fracture in the Libs is a good thing to help ObamaCare fall flat on its face when it comes up for final votes after their smoke-filled-back-room secret meetings, but before the State of the Union. Incidentally, the White House floated today that the original target dates of the State of the Union address, January 19 or 26, have now shifted to January 26 or February 2. No final decision on the date of the address has been made. Even money says he meets his political demise before then.

by high end, he means good insurance. We have excellent insurance, not because we’re some evil rich people the progressives need to tax, but because we are responsible and got the insurance we needed. We both have costly health issues, and need the best insurance. I guess in Obama’s world you get fined or go to jail if you don’t get their insurance, and then us responsible people who do insure ourselves properly get punished with a tax for having something the poor lazy liberals don’t. Obama has to be fair....crappy health care for everyone.
As soon as Guarantee Issue hits those will be “average”. They eliminate low cost high deduct ins. Beck is right. They just want the underlying structure in place regardless.
Yep. Doesn’t the House bill give union plans an exemption to a public option? While that is dead (supposedly), expect to see the SEIU and other large labor unions given a pass on this tax.
Some of us have worked hard our whole life to get something better. He is trying to take it and make everyone dependent.
I do not aspire for that yet very few will aspire for anything if his socialist policies take hold.
Right, we're not talking about Freepers who have indeed been wise to him from the beginning. Or about the extreme left who knew exactly what they were getting. We're talking about all those people in the middle who don't usually pay any attention to politics until November 2nd or 3rd in election years. They are the ones who gave us H. Ross Perot in 1992, and thus Bill Clinton for eight years. These people gave us Barak Obama too, but now they are having second thoughts. Why do you think so many rats are jumping ship prior to the next election? It's because they know the soccer moms and dads are on to them and are going to vote against them in the next two or three elections.
$666 a month for an individual? That’s even higher than COBRA.
Why don’t they just force us all to take in one or two illegal alien families and be done with it?
Ours is $18,000 a year.
We need Divine Intervention on this one. Brown MUST win. It's Massachusetts, though... I don't see it happening. We need a miracle...
Great. We’ve assured that RACE will be a huge topic in our great-grandchildren’s history books. There will have to be some explanation for why America actually voted for someone who was quite obviously out to do away with the Land of the Free.
