Today, after almost a century of trying; today, after over a year of debate; today, after all the votes have been tallied health insurance reform becomes law in the United States of America. Today.
It is fitting that Congress passed this historic legislation this week. For as we mark the turning of spring, we also mark a new season in America. In a few moments, when I sign this bill, all of the overheated rhetoric over reform will finally confront the reality of reform.
And while the Senate still has a last round of improvements to make on this historic legislation and these are improvements Im confident they will make swiftly the bill Im signing will set in motion reforms that generations of Americans have fought for, and marched for, and hungered to see.
It will take four years to implement fully many of these reforms, because we need to implement them responsibly. We need to get this right. But a host of desperately needed reforms will take effect right away.
This year, well start offering tax credits to about 4 million small businessmen and women to help them cover the cost of insurance for their employees. That happens this year.
This year, tens of thousands of uninsured Americans with preexisting conditions, the parents of children who have a preexisting condition, will finally be able to purchase the coverage they need. That happens this year.
This year, insurance companies will no longer be able to drop peoples coverage when they get sick. They wont be able to place lifetime limits or restrictive annual limits on the amount of care they can receive.(continued)

Funny that, a new season for criminals, perhaps, but that's about that.

The veneer of a representative republic is going to become harder and harder to maintain, even in appearances.

So the real screws of tyranny wont take affect until after the next Presidential election. Everything out of his filthy marxist mouth is a deception.

Appropriate day he picked.
This day in history:
1775 Patrick Henry declared, “Give me liberty, or give me death”.
1919
Benito Mussolini founded his own party in Italy, the Fasci di Combattimento.

This dictator is about to bring upon the USA a disaster of biblical proportions. I am actually looking forward to all the Socialist's surprise when they realize that EVERYONE who pays taxes will see a 10% rise in their Federal taxes. This will come with NO HEALTH CARE ENHANCEMENT. It's appalling how little Health Care the Government will actually dispense for 'free'. The Government doesn't like expensive patients. Look up NICE. The acronym for the British Government agency that decides who gets treatment and who is just a tad 'too old' to care about. Our country is about to get a very rude awakening.
Schadenfreude is just around the corner.

Always. And deviously, too. It starts with the refusal to be co-opted, to become a sheep, herded for the shearing. I will not be a sheeple:
