WASHINGTON — Two weeks after President Barack Obama signed the big health care overhaul into law, Americans are struggling to understand how — and when — the sweeping measure will affect them.

Questions reflecting confusion have flooded insurance companies, doctors' offices, human resources departments and business groups.

"They're saying, 'Where do we get the free Obama care, and how do I sign up for that?'

Paterson. The city next door to me.

Several years ago we once had an employee who screwed up first contacts with many potential clients. When we explained to her socialist brain that without clients we wouldn’t be able to pay her, she said “I don’t care where the money comes from, I just want paid”. Firing her was great pleasure (she applied for unemployment but we appealed and won). I’m sure she and her ilk are all wondering where their “free” health care is. Bwahahahahahahahahaha!

The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.

The 'free stuff' won't be handed out in ernest unless enough parasites vote for democrats in the next two election cycles.

Social security and medicare are great examples.

Respectfully disagree. We paid into them all of our working lives in expectation of a return on our "investment". They are, however, a great example of every ill from government mismanagement to outright theft!

Repeal will cause riots. I bet that was part of the plan.

David Axelrod has practically admitted as much on-camera.

Heard this standing in line at the grocery store in front of 2 women. "I wish Obama hurry up wid his plans" (pronunciation and grammar exactly as used) The other replied "yes he know we countin' on him" I was so proud of myself for keeping my mouth shut :)

Wonder if they would have said anything if you did a silent facepalm...

“They’re saying, ‘Where do we get the free Obama care, and how do I sign up for that?’
This is a classic. These morons don’t even realize that nothing is for free, someone will have to pay for it.

And where would they learn this? Keep in mind they have just gone through ten or twelve years of the public school system where they received a free lunch every day.
