Obama's health plan

Does anyone out there actually know the details, other than we the tax payers are going to take the cost of it up our asses !
Someone explain the 40% tax in it, and how/ why unions will be exempt till the year 2018.

I agree, there are a lot of benefits in the bill that are not being discussed.

What about transparency? Live discussions and debates on the bill on C-Span for the PEOPLE of the United States? Wasn't that promised to us?

Carve out for Unions... small business will get crushed.

LOL, same old sh*t in a different wrapper. Guy is a joke.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

I heard the Health care bill is 2,000 pages. Way to go Obama changing
the way Washington does business.

I can't wait to get rid of this guy.My guess is Obama will get the change he deserves when all his Dem buddies get voted out this fall.

This union thing is absolutely outrageous. If anyone doesn't know what it is, look into it. The proposed bill taxes those who have high-value health plans, unless you are in a union. You heard that right! If 2 people have the same exact plan, 1 is in a union, 1 is not, the non-union guy gets taxed, the union guy does not.

Any Obama supporters here want to tell me how you can defend that?

The sizable move up in the stock market today is in anticipation of a Brown win and O healthcare downfall:

NEW YORK (AP) -- Investors moved back into stocks on hopes that a special election in Massachusetts will take away power from Senate Democrats and make it harder for President Barack Obama to make changes to health care.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.
