And someone should remind the first "post-racial" president that the last time there was a big brouhaha over States' Rights, we called it the Civil War. Does he really want to precipitate another one, hopefully less bloody, over his stubborn refusal to listen to the people he works for? I think he believes that he has no obligation to listen because he was elected, and now he gets to do what he wants to do. He doesn't seem to understand that <i>he </i>works for <i>us</i>, not the other way around. Now if only someone in Congress would grow a pair and start impeachment proceedings...sigh.

Make incremental changes, and see how well they work before making more changes. Wow, I feel like there needs to be a commercial like the "MS Windows 7" commercials. One where people like me say "Incremental Health Care Change was my idea. Thank you BiPartisan Congress".

Just like Florida after the hurricanes, the insurance companies pulled out, refusing to cover our property because they had to pay out this time. What happened? Our state had to create its own Goverment - run property insurance (Citizen's Insurance ). Almost everybody has to use them. If you live along the coast, you are uninsurable except for Citizens.  If we had Obamacare and H1N1 became widespread, don't believe for one moment the private insurers would cover us. They would declare they couldn't and the gov't would have to cover the costs. They are not going to allow their profit margin to go down. In this case, we'd be paying for this health crisis 2 times. Once to the private insurers who we've been forced to pay for coverage and again through taxes when we have to make up for their losses. Why can't we cut out the middleman?  Isn't this similar to our war effort? We hire private contractors to do the work of our regular "volunteer" army at ridiculous costs to the American taxpayer. Some are making a large fortune at  a steep price to the rest of us.

For business people the legislation will drive them to desperation - a la Andrew Joseph Stack III. They will self-destruct by shutting their businesses down plus other drastic protest measures. The depression that would follow would make the 1920's depression a spec of history. The country will come to a stand still. The value of your house will be between zero and 10 thousand, if you are lucky to get that much. The middle class would shrink to less than 50 percent of what we have now.
