You never heard of Clinton? Wiener or Su? Edwards? Corzine perhaps? Democratic "douche-bagger" party people sure have a stupid way of looking at things. Take Wisconsin for instance. LOL

Matthew 25:35-40 ESV

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying,‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’...

Like I said before ObamaCare is here to stay. Over the years the bad parts of it will be legislated out and the good parts kept. The important thing is President Obama and the Dems successfully reformed healthcare in the U.S. It will be finetuned going forward.

Pay for your own healthcare, don't expect others to pay your way. It's called personal responsibility.

That's what the individual mandate is for is. It makes sure that those who are insured don't bear the cost of the insured by making sure EVERYONE pays for health insurance.

Kind of ironic...because if one is against the mandate they are therefore supporting socialism.

You don't get. They ONLY thing they are against is Obama....If he made it rain hundred dollar bills they would still find fault with him.

Romney could come in and take away their first born children and they wouldn't say a word.

Taxes levied on industries are almost always passed on to consumers. For the manufacturing sector, the bottom line is the deciding factor in considering expansion or contraction of facilities, personnel or products. The medical devices mentioned in the article are prosthetics, such as those desperately needed by injured soldiers, accident victims and the elderly. There are other, more commonly used devices that are also subject to taxes under Obamacare such as eyeglasses and contact lenses. Their use is not limited to specific population groups but are a necessity for some individuals across the spectrum. Not only does it take longer for a new prescription to arrive, but both glasses and contacts are more expensive. Ignoring eye care can result in irreversible damage to one's vision. Taxing the manufacturer does more harm than good.

I'm still waiting on the smartest lib in the room to tell me if obamacare is gonna be free for everybody, or just free to some, and very expensive to others.

And then the next question will be, why should i pay for my healthcare, and then help pay for others that I am not related to.

I know... I want my free healthcare, my free food, my free house, my free cell phone... I'm tired of getting up every morning a 5AM going to work and not getting home until after 5PM... Maybe the smart ones are the ones who sit around living off of the government!

Apparently Bachmann and her GOP lackeys want it to be free to some and very expensive to others. They keep pushing for the repeal of the individual mandate which requires EVERYONE to pay for healthcare.

I don't think these righ-wing nutters know exactly what they want. The repeal of the individual mandate IS socialism.

Without it, the INSURED bear the costs of the UNINSURED.

Nutters.

Agreed. The individual mandate is a very Republican idea. But because President Obama said, "ok, let's put it in", they are now against it.

If President Obama were to support higher taxes for the poor who don't pay taxes, I'm sure they'd be against that too.

Which is what the healthcare plan is all about. About damn time we make the insured medical-care thieves pay their own way.

Maybe he should try a little reverse psychology on them. Can't you hear Limbaugh now?

"Today the president said he wanted more tax loopholes for the rich. How dare he! That will bankrupt the country. Add more to the deficit. Vote for anyone who will get rid of tax loopholes!"
