Possibly this health care version of taxation without “true” representation will end up in a political revolution that will change the land for all time possibly even a Balkanization of America with segments seceding from the Union. Fourteen states are filing suit against the government with the possibility it may be as many as 36.

Political talking heads such as Jeffrey Toobin, one of CNN’s duty legal ‘experts’ have already dismissed the suit as frivolous and will be cast aside under the Commerce clause of the Constitution. With our compromised SCOTUS relative to political balance and their recent ruling that corporations can now be involved in politics he may be right, but we shall see.

One thing I do know the big “O” finished off his political career along with dozens of Congressional Dems with his sleazy fashion of getting the bill through via an Executive Order compromise.

Thanks for the comparison. Good material. : )

“This is a very Christian and moral decision by our government to bring healthcare to our nation!” …extract from post

What country are you referring too with this comment. It surely can’t be the U.S.; but, possibly Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Holland, or New Zealand…no?! / : |

All you’ll get from this bill is the forced ‘privilege’ to purchase insurance that most can ill afford in order to achieve some measure of healthcare. Rest assured there will be no issuance of cards similar to Medicare in the coming weeks and months to come to allow these 32 million potential newly insureds access to medicine.

You have corporate medicine and “Big Pharma” now franchised to clip you annually for fat juicy premiums is all. They’re smacking their greedy corporate lips that they’ll have a host of forced insureds in the years to come.

Enfranchised taxation by a bought and paid off government is a “wet dream” come true for the corporatist/fascists. : |
