Six months ago, President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rammed Obamacare down the throats of an unwilling American public. Half a year removed from the unprecedented legislative chicanery and backroom dealing that characterized the bill's passage, we know much more about the bill than we did then. A few of the revelations:

Actually since my skin did not burst into flames the second it was signed, it’s really slightly better than I anticipated.

» ?Obamacare allows the IRS to confiscate part or all of your tax refund if you do not purchase a qualified insurance plan. The bill funds 16,000 new IRS agents to make sure Americans stay in line.

As soon as lead becomes legal tender, I will be happy to comply with the IRS.

“Actually since my skin did not burst into flames the second it was signed, it’s really slightly better than I anticipated.”

It was almost that exact argument that Obama used after it was signed, remember? He said something to the effect that it was signed, the sun came up, we’re still here, so it must be ok?

What a freakin’ moron.

Obamacare - lead designers: Barack Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi... How can it be anything but historically bad?

What a blessing it will be when tax-payers pick up the inhaler tab for this gal.

Dumb bunnies forgot the gutting of Medicare and the Medicare Advantage program. Other than that the article was a fair description of CommieCare.

Some things are a joke. You get free prevention care if you get a NEW policy.

The age 26 thing is absurd. Do you have to be living with mom and dad. Are policies automatically extended...and your premium isn't going to go up?? Yeh, right.

Let's say...son is divorced...25...not living at home...is he on his parent's policy?? What if parent's are divorced and they have separate policies.

The GOP must find the guts to expose this in TV ads. Hang this treason around the necks of every single “YES” vote on this genocide!

Obviously, this scheme was plotted prior to the 08 election. Find the traitors that designed this treason, investigate their dirt, and prosecute them. Make an example out of them. They want the power to decide if you live or die. No One, No One has that right! Wake up America, it’s your lives and your freedom we’re talking about and the lives and freedom of your families and the generations yet to come.

In just over an hour, we are going to a group meeting to discuss details of changes to our Health Care plans, because of the Health Care Reform Law(Obamacare).
In 25 years at my company we have Never been called in as a group to discuss changes to the Health Care plans. I would bet on it there will be lots of moans and groans even from those who voted for Obama, which is most of my group.

Here is an excerpt from a letter sent to the empoyees by the CEO

“The Health Care Reform Law passed earlier this year, while broadening access to health care, could further add to the company’s costs over the next several years – and in 2018, could subject (company name removed) to a substantial tax on health care plans exceeding a certain threshold.

The company will continue to offer excellent health-care benefits and to bear most of the financial burden. But beginning in 2011, nonunion employees will be asked to pay a greater share of their health care costs. Health-care coverage for employees represented by unions is governed by collective bargaining agreements and will be discussed as those contracts are renegotiated.”

Expose every YES vote and brand them traitors to their country. Spine, guts, and gonads time for the GOP.

Every political HACK that voted YES “MUST” be thrown out of Congress. There’s time to go after every single one of them. A YES vote on this premeditated genocide is grounds to throw their sorry rectums out of office in disgrace!!!

Sharon Angle must hang this around Reid like a shroud. Carly must hang this on Boxer. RATs are corrupt hacks that must be exposed and their careers of corruption ended.
