[enoughofthiscrapalready]

Too much hoopla over a watered down half - a$$ed overly compromised version of reform.
Hard to understand why everyone is so elated. Too many deals made behind closed doors - no transparency - I don't see what's changed. Although I'm happy that pre-existing conditions can't be excluded anymore.

[TSOCANUCK]

on behalf of my fellow CANADIANS i congradulate the u.s. congress on passing the health care bill

[OneHeart]

This is only the first step... a good step, nonetheless, a first step. It's the Senate's turn.

We just got to be vigilent.

[Patriot86]

Finally!!!!!!!!!!

[teron678]

So many twits on twiiter ... ugh

[mados123]

I dedicate this to DeMint.

Abba's Waterloo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpUz5zXywhY (the people dancing in the video are Dems). Love the fros!

[timmmahhhh]

Another pretty visual this song brings to mind - an episode of the Simpsons where Monty Burns chases Homer and wants to play his cassette of "Ride of the Vaklyries" but can only find "Abba's Greatest Hits" so he plays this song during the chase scene.

How ironic that DeMint has made it a more fitting song for the recent "chase"!

[HBHB]

Can we get some real news and not this twitter nonsense? I refuse to read twitter posts.

[timmmahhhh]

Agree, honestly I just scrolled down to the comments.

[enoughofthiscrapalready]

I agree - it's just an irritating distraction - messy too.

[meldah]

All Americans need to think about the Common Welfare of everyone, so all can truly enjoy the Blessings of Liberty this Country has to offer . This is not Socialism, fascism , Communism, or any other ‘ism’. It is Common Sense. The only question that should be asked is: Will this be a Country ruled by Big Corporations, the super-rich , or Banks, or will this Country continue to be governed by the you, me, and our healthy future generations.

Those against this reform are fond of haunting us with the memories of the Founding Fathers. Those gentlemen are also referred to as the Framers of the Constitution. Why Framers? It is because they intended the structure of our Country would remain intact, but the landscape would continue to grow and change. They hoped we would evolve, take care of each other, and be able to enjoy working and growing together, as one Country. Today we took a step in that direction.

[admiralmpj]

Nicely said.

[ChelseaC]

No, many of us are against this bill (Dems) see it for what it is, a giveaway to the insurance cartel--don't lump us with the teabaggers or repugs. Real reform would be an expansion of an improved MEDICARE for all who want in--not a mandate to by a defective product sold by a middle man getting rich off the backs of sick people.
Instead we're slaves to the insurance cartel, whilst only 6 million will get the so-called "public option" that will cost MORE than the dam* insurance.
Many will be left with nothing or dumped in Medicaid which is crappy. To qualify for Medicaid, you can't have more than 250.00 in the bank. you can't be a home owner--plus, very few doctors take it.

Why not just have Medicare for everyone who wants in--rich, poor, health, sick, famous, unknown?
All this complicated beuracracy--when it could have been kept simple and billions cheaper.
Saturday, we took a step forward --right into the pockets of the insurance companies.

Why do we need a for profit middle man? Riddle me that.

[meldah]

I agree with most of what you are saying. But real reform cannot happen overnight. Or in 9 months. It’s taken decades to get this far, and I’m not convinced this bill will be passed. Much of it I do not agree with, as usual women are getting the short shrift. But this is more than we have had before.

Until this Country wakes up and elects forward thinking people in enough numbers, super super majority, we will be stuck in 1797.

.

[G FORCE]

HA- LLE-LU-JAH!!!!!!!!! MY PRESIDENT DID IT!!!!

[MIKEinNYC]

Go pass a bill that everyone will hate on the weekend when no one will notice.

Nice going, low-life s-bag house!

[Newthron]

Do not wet our floor. And do not worry, the emp-T baggers will give you some more cheap trollgasm.

[mados123]

Mike - I bet you will be taking advantage of this "socialist" health care bill in its first year.

[anastomosis]

The puzzle is: how did such an insult to New York get 56 fans?

[MIKEinNYC]

My beef is that they did it on a Saturday at night. I'm in favor of a healthcare bill.(Please see my previous posts.) But when they do stuff like this on a weekend and come out with it on Saturday night I am suspicious that they are trying to pull something. Or would congress never do anything like that?

[billobasher]

Yeah Mike,

"No one" knew this vote was happening.

Please turn Rush, Sean,and Glenn off for a few days and learn tot hink for yourself.

[grata2ude]

I just head a whole bunch of people with teabags on their heads jumped into a vat of boiling water. Pity the fools

[Newthron]

They didn't know better.

[admiralmpj]

Betcha they wish they had some...I don't know...health care to take care of the second degree burns they're going to suffer from.

Then again, willingly jumping into hot water...that has got to be a preexisting, right??

[Newthron]

A toast to you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cyrano1]

Back Atcha! It's a great day!

[Newthron]

It's an amazing day ya. Just amazing.

[Beatriz09]

And .. it contains a public option!!!

[ChelseaC]

Yeah that "public option" for how many people-- 2% of the population-- that's the competition? but golly gee we got a bill!!!
women's choice? who cares because we got a bill--YES!

what a great day for the insurance companies--delivering about 30 million new customers for the cartel paid for by the taxpayers--insurance industry bail out--what a THRILL!
now we're slaves to the cartel--golly gee-- but, but, but we got a bill--this is great, right? duh......

http://pnhp.org/blog/2009/11/05/health-care-reform-2009-no-bill-is-better-than-a-bad-bill/

[billobasher]

Chelsea,

THis bill was NEVER going to cover abortions. That would be against established federal law. Also, this is just a start. Obama is getting what he can. He can not snap his fingers and creates Single Payer.

[Precious Daniels]

Yay! for the poor!

[Newthron]

This is truly a good day for America. I can't believe it.

Oops by the way, what was that? Obama's Waterloo????

Hehehe, the wingnuts did really bring the suspense and humor.
