Virginia Lawsuit Against Health Care Reform Moves Ahead

I must agree with racmd.

We can change our system to individual payment where you are allowed into the hospital based on your ability to pay and your self worth. So if your insurance is not enough, or you don't have insurance, then you must show your ability to pay. If you exceed the amount that you can pay, then you are discharged out of the hospital. In the ICU on a ventilator? Too bad. Turn it off if you can't pay. Cardiac surgery? Come up with the $50,000 or however much you owe.

While this is one decision out of many to come in this case, it is important to point out that the Federal Judge in Virginia believes there is merit to the case, and the case will proceed to the discovery phase. There were many attorneys and judges that doubted the case would make it this far.

Why would anyone want to rescind the health-care law? The entire Democratic membership of the house AND senate had the guts to push it through, and probably lost their jobs in the process! Let it become law--and make modifications as we go along and problems show up.

Good for Virginia to stand up againd Obamacare.

Ok I see it like this, a lot of people complaining about the new health care laws are also on medicare and SS so give me my money back, I have paid into these programs and let the ones who haven't such as wives, children, disabled who has not paid a dime find a way to make it on their own. I'm a true conservative.

The State polls have 48 States with a majority in favor of repealing Government run health care and almost as many saying the majority want there own State laws on immigration.

Opposition from the states to this foolishness is all well and good, but the real opposition should come from individuals. I'd like to declare, here and now, that I have NO INTENTION of abiding by this authoritarian crap. I will get my health care as I please, and I do not limit my actions in doing so.

Those Republicans would say anything to push their agenda. Tort Reform? A Joke! If the public was fully aware as to how difficult it is to hire a laywer to sue a hospital they would see how tort reform is a joke. If a lawyer takes a law suite against a hospital you can bet your bippy that that hospital was so severly neglant and grossly in violation they deserve to be sued. An open and shut case is the only way a lawyer will sue a hospital. Tort, give me a break. No lawyer will ever take shakey case against a hosptial. They have to invest thousand to sue a hospital and no tort case will ever get represented. Their a millions of case where the hospital was grossly neglant that never get accepted by a lawyer. We need health care reform. So stop the silly nonsense preached by the republicans.

This is the worst bill to come out of Washington.

if the rest of the states follow the lead of this one, maybe somebody in DC will get the idea that HARD WORKING AMERICAN CITIZENS do not want the government sticking their noses in our affairs. Period. Only the welfare mentality types was more government handouts. For them... there is welfare, medicaid... etc etc.
