Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is expected to unveil a house bill this morning that will require nearly all Americans sign up by 2013 for health insurance through their employer, a government program or a new kind of purchasing pool called an exchange.
Pelosi, D-Calif., wants to have the legislation on the floor next week, with a final vote before Veterans Day, Nov. 11, that would give President Obama a bill to sign by year's end.

The Swiss (the only other for profit healthcare system in the civilized world) did this many years ago when their insurance companies got out of hand like ours. Now the vast majority of people living there have coverage and pay low premiums while keeping the government out of it for the most part. I truly believe this is the only way to go.
I don't have an employer to interfere with my health plan. My boyfriend and I each receive welfare checks and Medicaid. We don't have to pay any taxes since we don't work, but I get $5000 back each year for my Child Tax Credit and Sweetie Poo Wedo gets $2000 back for his 2 brats.
We each are waiting on another 'obama stimulus check'. We spent the last checks on a 'bus trip vacation' down to Biloxi. My sister and her live in boyfriend each have pre-existing medical conditions, so fortunately them bad ol' insurance companies can't disqualify them. They each receive SSI checks for their addiction disabilities and Medicaid provides their medical care. America is GREAT and we live in EXCITING times!
Our Obama is going to save us from the greedy insurance companies because they reaped HUGE windfall profits of 3%! We support our Obama making the hardworking middle class folks and small business owners pay their fair share of over $1,000,000,000,000 annual costs to pay for obamacare. yes, 12 zeros! Sweetie Poo Wedo and I also support obama taking away at least $500,000,000,000, from Medicare each year because them beat up old sickly senior citizens are going to die anyway. Enoc is not alone in supporting the government run health plan.
Enoc wrote, "Everybody should be on a health care plan no matter who you are with no exceptions. "RIGHT ON brother! You da' man!
EVERYBODY includes our 35,000,000 illegal citizens. Yes! Just like Cuba, where EVERYONE is covered! No EXCEPTIONS.
Sweetie Poo Wedo and all our friends support ObamaCare because it will provide full health coverage for our law abiding, "undocumented
citizens". Right now they are "forced" to clog up local hospital emergency rooms using those facilities as primary care givers. Thanks to our Obama, this travesty will stop. Like Enoc, Wedo and I support our well oiled Federal Government machine looking after OUR health care.
We are only talking about a MEASLY 1/6 of the total US economy.
The Feds have done such a great job running our Post Office system,Social Security and Medicare services, as well as running our auto companies, banks, and the Cash For Clunkers Program. Oh, don't forget about the Obama Stimulus Check Distribution program that allowed thousands of our imprisoned brothers and sisters to receive Obama stimulus checks. I forgot...thousands of our deceased citizens received their stimulus checks too. Also The First Time Home Buyer Rebate gave $MILLIONS$ to our well deserving 4 year olds, non home buyers, thieves, and crooked IRS agents. We too support this facet of wealth re-distribution. Obama possesses uncanny Marxist stratagem.
Enoc is CORRECT in supporting a government run Health Care plan. Wasn't that beautiful Nancy Pelosi fantastic at her news conference this morning on Fox news? Naughty Nancy shared her great Democrat Health Plan poop for the benefit of the ignorant citizens who don't subscribe to a government take over of America's Health Care.
Nancy is such a smooth talker! What a great Democrat leader!
I can barely wait to receive my NEW Government Health Plan card, especially, if a smiling photo of our President Obama is affixed to my card. An Obama photo will show American support for the hard work necessary for him to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Ooh! Ooh! I feel a tingling running up my leg! Don't you Brother Enoc?
EVERYBODY needs a U. S. Government Health Plan!

"The U.S. government is calling its Cash for Clunkers program a big success, with nearly 690,000 vehicles sold in July and August. But a report by automotive Web site Edmunds.com says the program actually cost taxpayers $24,000 per car sold."

And these are the idiots that are working on health care. Why didn't the ignorant bsatrsds just purchase cars fot some of the people in the interest of general welfare.
We elect them and send them to Washington so they can baffle us with BS while they tend to their own agenda.
I wonder! Can any of them answer a yes or no question with a simple yes or no, or does it really require the distruction of a small forest to manufacture the paper to reply with something that doesn't even apply to the original question.
Please - Everyone: Write you reprensative and ask how he/she would vote on healthe care. YES or NO
Then tell us about your response and how many pages it took to say yes or no.
Oh, if you think Medicare is so wonderful, just wait until you have a catastrophic illness which lands you in the hospital for several months, then you will see how wonderful (not) medicare really is!
Your bogus example of government hand outs is also a gross exaggeration of how things really are. We live in a very insane world right now. If you were born with the intellect, a good family and in the environment with viable resources you have a chance for a good life. Anything else, one’s ability to climb out of such predicament is quickly fading away.
Personally, I’m doing quiet well, but it could have been, just as easily, a completely different story. To not give credit to what I was born with, to whom, or in what situation is arrogant, ignorant and far removed from today's reality.
