'Repeal of Health Care Reform,' Act 1, Scene 1

I'm still waiting to hear from the GOP about their health care plan. They had 2 terms under Bush and proposed nothing. Meanwhile, my health care costs soared!!!!
Obama has the courage and vision to tackle the tough problems that face this country, something that Boehner and his cohorts will never do. They follow the money. Gimme, Gimme, Gimme is their way.

First of all "Elections have consequences"! They did when Obama was elected and they do know, the Republicans won the largest victory in 80+ years and they are doing what they promised. Secondly this goes to the not so bright people on the left whom my bet is never created a job in their lives. The current health care bill as it is, is a job killer! I cannot hire anyone because of the ridicules mandates that are in it. Why do you think the Obama administration has already made specials concessions to over 100 companies??? Because they were not going to hire anyone with the tremendous burden that was in the bill! How many of you people that love this bill read it? Also funny how the unions are exempt from the mandates, did you know that?????

No surprise here: despite nearly 65 percent of the people against extending Bush's tax cuts to the filthy rich, the Republicans overwhelmingly extended them. Now since the big insurance companies and wealthy citizens want to eradicate Obama's populist approach to reforming health care, despite broad citizen support, those same Republicans are out to kill it. It's not hard to see where the Republicans are -- they're for that small percentage of the country who are wealthy, and against the rest of us who aren't.

Only one problem, its the Republicans that are always stereotyped as racist, not the other way around

If the Republicans are so against the health care, then they should refuse to accept it themselves. They're currently covered under it... and I don't see them refusing to accept their own health insurance.

These two cartoonists are iron-clad liberals who bring antiquated ideas and antediluvian cartooning techniques to the table. Why does Politics Daily persist in making them the ONLY political cartooning choice? How about auditioning a few fresh faces?

Why are so many big businesses getting wavers to opt out? This seems like special interest getting preferred treatment

There is a lot of misinformation out there about this bill. No, there is not a 3.8% sales tax on home sales. There is an addtional tax of 3.8% on certain capital gains, that go will go into funding Medicare. It will only be on the gain, over and above what you originally paid for an asset, if thzt gain exceeds $400,000. This won't effect most people, and certainly not on home sales (they are working on an exclusion on home sales even if your gain is over $400,000. Truth? Let's see who's spreading the lies now!

(7) vote this comment up (6) vote this comment down For those who claim no one --- I mean no one -- has read this bill, how the heck can you complain about anything in it? If you have not read it, if your representative has not read it, how can you be against it?

Cheryl, Can you be so stupid to believe what you're saying here? how do you justify passing a bill that takes over 1/5 of the economy without knowing what's in it? Passing laws in this way is governing via fiat, they can make up anything they want to now. I think you're a fool.

In the first place, Obamacare is not care. In the second place, it is not reform. It is a power-and-cost shifting scheme using government as the vector to deflect taxpayer money into Big Pharma and Big Insurance contributors and lobbyists.
