Participation in the Social Security retirement and disability insurance system isn’t optional. Neither is participation in the Medicare insurance system. In most states you can’t legally operate a motor vehicle without carrying liability insurance. Employers are most often required to carry workers’ compensation insurance. Does anyone think America would be a better place without such systems and requirements? What would our parents’ and grandparents’ lives be like without Social Security and Medicare? Would we want to share the highways with millions of uninsured drivers, or have no medical protection if we were injured at the workplace?

Did it include waterboarding? After 12 hours of horse trading how can one even recall how much of the farm they gave away? I didn’t Nebraska had that many people in the state that it would take 12 hours to **==>() them.

omg, this is a great idea. Every single Senator not happy with the bill, should get together to vote “present”. Gov Dean, get the word out,,,,to Sanders, Feingold, and all the others not happy…Harkin….vote present. Something tells me Obama will get that message.

Now I’m embarrassed.

I am in far better shape than most and grateful as he!! for what I’ve got.

I just couldn’t resist putting a human story to the abstract concept of this monstrosity.

What I mean is, of course everyone here KNOWS how awful it is (because there are so many brilliant posters here) but I thought a personal anecdote might reinforce the consensus.

BTW, I don’t know why you can’t register at 44. Have you tried contacting Admin? The link is at the top of the page.

He already stole my boyfriend, my President, and my political identity and a friend’s dinner date (basically he had a date with a bot!). He is working on stealing my health care, my job and all of my money. Pretty soon it will be my life!

Maybe I can just be Obamastolemy_____________

Oh, my, yes. Cough, choke. I just cannot believe, with all the groups and people opposed to this bill, that they are going ahead with it. It seems incredibly short-sighted.

I mentioned this at Bronwyn’s post, but Nebraska will no have the Fed. Gov’t. – that means YOU – pay for every new Medicaid recipient in perpetuity. Yep, that was the deal Nelson made – that Nebraska would NEVER have to pay for any of their citizens getting Medicaid again.

WOW.

Hey, Basil,

I read your post regularly on Hillary is 44 and am praying for you. I can’t get my registration to go through over there, so from this great site at noquarter, here’s another American wishing you well.

Yep, they are now doing this as payback for insurance, hospital corporations and pharma. It is mostly an insurance bill. No health about it. Everything done now is for corporations and not people. Any health won’t come in until 2013 and by then it will probably change several times. Way to 踢他们的驴.

Now, if this p.o.s. doesn’t work until 2013 or later, by which time a new Congress can amend/repeal it, do all here really think old Nelson will get his Medicaid pieces of silver from LIARS, CHEATS, THIEVES and BULLIES???

bho the fraud was installed by criminals foreign and domestic to bankrupt our country, destroy our middle class and drive down wages to poverty level.

Tea Party, anyone?

LOL jbjd–didn’t think of that. I definitely don’t want Thee One’s logo sneaking into the holy days and contaminating Christmas songs. I don’t want to see his face as one of the 3 magi, or even kneeling with the donkeys, or worse, as an infant, the object of adoration . . .
