bmac.. you know nothing about me. This could easily effect everything about my life.. especially since I work in health care.. especially because I need brain surgery next month and may have some serious issues following that. You don't know me.. or my situation.

I am not saying it will work. I don't know that it will.. but I also don't know that it won't. This could effect my health care and my livelihood. I know there is risk. But this bill wasn't created in a vacuum. Many people with more education than I have worked on this. They looked at every area and they put in work to make sure it did work. He didn't just sit down at a desk and start guessing. Already there are areas that have needed tweaked.. and those areas need addressed. There will be areas that don't work and once the facts support that changes will be made. This is is signature legislation... he wants it to work because it is his legacy. If it doesn't work then his legacy will be tarnished forever.. so what makes you think he is out to make it fail? That doesn't make any sense.

If it fails I will be right there trying to make sure I elect people who will fix it. But until then the rest is speculation... people responded this way to social security and medicare too. But when they get their social security checks or are able to get care if their world falls apart.. they sure aren't complaining now.

You were able to do that because you have great insurance.. a lot of people don't. And maybe that is ok with you and screw everyone else. You can be a party of one and yay for you. However, if you want whats best for this country you want healthy educated people in it.

I realize this may not effect you. And maybe you don't care what happens to anyone else and in that case.. nothing I will say will fix that. But you don't live in this country by yourself and not everyone has the same insurance you do. Hell, I have great insurance and your sounds better than mine.

Oh, I forgot. For those of you who think they are getting too much information from you.. let me just tell you that from a health care professionals point.. if you end up as my patient I want to know as much as I can so I can give you good care. It is so much easier that we are linked in many ways within our system. If you get care at another hospital I can see those results and it may explain what kind of care you need now. You may see it as an intrusion for me to know stuff like what kinds of pets you own or if you have a history of substance abuse or wh**ever.. but if it saves your life later or gets you a diagnosis more quickly you would likely feel very differently about it

NO.. you don't know for sure. First off.. if you insure that many peole there will be many healthy ones.. that helps pay for the sicker ones. AT the same time.. those healthy ones know that if they get hit by a bus it won't bankrupt them. They may not use it.. but they have the security blanket. And others will eat up more than their fair share.. this is how insurance works. This isn't new. That's how current insurers work. For instance.. I work for a large company.. my brain surgery won't raise anyone's costs because there are many healthy people who won't need theirs. On the other hand.. my husbands company is a small company. They had someone who had a tragic illness that cost a ton of money.. and their premiums went up. Had that not happened then their company would have kept their premiums pretty level.

This explains the push to insure many young healthy people.. it helps companies hedge their bets when they insure people. And at the same time those young healthy people will have the security blanket an unexpected pregnancy or accident won't be able to take away. Make sense?

I agree with the statement you made about lying the loudest. But the who I do not. When I look at the scandals that have occurred in this administration I have to believe the agency heads are the loudest liars on earth with Eric Holder leading the pack. If you start out with Fast and Furious down to the present day almost every agency head questioned under oath during a commission hearing have lied plain and simple. All of these people made it to become agency heads by nomination by Obama and then approved by Harry Reid and company.

But yes most independent poles show favor toward Obama's agenda even so. Lying pays off it seems even when caught at it. And by far every Democrat testifying before a congressional hearing has lied and got caught at it. Just shows the ignorance of the v****g public and the socialistic indoctrination that has been on going in America ever since WWI.

A new poll reports that people do not want to defund Obamacare if it means shutting down the government. All deomgraphics but one, and you know which demo that is, the teabag party, do not want a shutdown.

Of course, the Tea Party doesn't want the government shut down - only Obamacare.

This is at least the second time the REPS have brought this nation to this point - purely so they can have their way. Evidently they are not interested in this country. That's what I would call UN-American!

The t***h is that they do NOT want the President to leave office with anything but negativity having occurred during his term. I still call that r****t.

Two phrases I recall is "Make the White House White again," "We want him to be a one-term president." The third phrase was during the convention when "Forget the fact finders" was stated openly. This proves that they can only appeal emotionally to their followers. Their followers are not intellectual but RESPOND purely on emotion and, instead of researching situations themselves, rely on what "John down the street" TOLD them.

Well, his second e******n truly upset and disturbed them (they didn't believe he would win the first) and they are still bringing up doubts they used during his first term. He is an American and a visionary. He's the only president I've felt proud of in a very long time. I'm so glad to see that he IS accomplishing even with THAT GROUP against him and trying to trip him up anyway they can.

I must say that especially because the GOP does not feel shame for their actions, I do feel shame for and on them.

You've got a good battle going on but I'm sure you are able to handle the situation.
