Generally when peoples taxes go up and they're forced to buy something they're against, they won't be happy. I'm guessing this man has an income of 250,000 dollars or more.

given all the lies about this bill my money would be on him earning far less

Stupak in my opinion is an imbecile who was bought off. 216, just enough to pass. Wow.

Serraph105
I don't think he was bought off. I think he was just trying to get on tv a lot

It said he made a "Deal", so, I assume. Whatever.

Actually, it passed with 219. :P

The picture posted said 216, 3 Republicans voted for it?

The screenshot was just when it passed; 3 Democrats voted after that screenshot was taken.

[QUOTE="Maniacc1"]The bill is passed! I hope Limbaugh keeps on his word. Maniacc1

What was his word?

and about the bill passing, enjoy the 4 years of taxes before the anything in the bill actually starts!

He said he'd move to Costa Rica if any kind of health care reform was passed.

Except he didn't say that.

Well it's about damn time this thing passed. Granted it's a raped, hollow shell of what it once was, but at least we got something.

I'm really sad I don't have a TV right now though. I have a feeling that Fox News is going to be a very entertaining channel to watch for the next few days.

If Newt could get the Republican nomination, he could mount an impressive campaign against Obama. The problem comes with getting the nomination. He cheated on his wife and the religious parts of the party hate him. If he could get the nomination, then I am sure that he could draw a lot of Democratic voters. The problem is in getting the nomination.

Unless the government sets price caps too, this is going to hurt everyone, but will help a few who might not have been able to be approved for insurance before, assuming they can afford the high premium it will cost for preexisting conditions. That's not really what I think about it, that's just the truth of it.

What I think is that it's too early to know how this will affect the actual care we get. More people will have access to preventative care, but who knows if there will now be enough preventative care to go around? I do think it's way better than that weird government insurance dealio they were discussing last year though.

And what's wrong with that? A lot of conservatives talk about how the federal government's power should be diminished, but then when it comes to an issue like abortion or gay marriage, they scream for regulations banning either across the country. Anyway, abortion doesn't affect you personally. If it's against your religion and you think it's that big a problem, you're doing it wrong. There are far greater evils in this world that any religious denomination should be concerned about.
