“At its core, the measure would create a federally regulated marketplace where consumers could shop for coverage. In the bill’s most controversial provision, the government would sell insurance, although the Congressional Budget Office forecasts that premiums for it would be more expensive than for policies sold by private companies.”

Great, another federally-regulated marketplace! And a more expensive one, too! Yee-Haw! That’s what I call a victory for the American People!

Get ready for a new market to be manipulated by government regulators to benefit their corporate sponsors and connected cronies. Historic indeed!

Get ready to be taxed heavily to support another speculative market where profits are privatized and the American taxpayer on the hook to cover any gambling losses. Another too-big-to-fail scenario in the making.

“A triumphant Speaker Nancy Pelosi compared the legislation to the passage of Social Security in 1935 and Medicare 30 years later.”

Congress Critters have an over-inflated opinion of their feeble legislation. No doubt they revel in the toxicity of their own flatulence as well.

There is a war in this country. It is targeting all who are not wealthy political contributors. It is openly waged by government at nearly every level.
