My husband and I both have to pay a whole lot of taxes and we both are retired but continue to work two different jobs each so we can afford the things we want. We do not want one red dime of our taxes to pay for anybody's insurance and we do not want any money to be taken from Medicare from people who have worked all their lives and are forced to go into Medicare. If the people have not worked and paid into social security and medicare, then take it away from them--but don't penalize people who work and contribute taxes and take care of themselves. I despise the Obama Health Care Plan and everything it stands for--and all the democratic "blow hard" "in your face" tactics.

If this plan is so comprehensive why did it require nearly 2000 pages to explain. I am so sick and tired of this "smoke and mirrors" administration.

I too am over 60, but after having almost lost everything this year, including our house we could not afford the COBRA payment and ended up with NO HEALTH COVERAGE at all!! Most of us work very hard and don't want to spend days in an emergency room wasting your taxpayer $$$!!. Even a small health subsidy to cover basic doctor visits will be a improvement.

I'm surprised the plan isn't 5000 pages trying to straigten out all the smoke, mirrors, and hidden corporate welfare given to the health insurance industry in the past 20 yrs.
Be thankful we're finally doing something about it after 70 yrs of trying.

Daily Horoscope for December 10

Capricorn

Someone is in a finger-wagging mood and unfortunately they seem to be concentrating on you! Maybe they think you've fallen from grace for some reason, or perhaps you're simply the only person who happens to be around when they feel like letting off steam. Do your best not to fall into an equally critical and disgruntled mood, because it will soon make you feel wretched.
