"The measure would extend health benefits by expanding Medicaid and providing subsidies to help moderate-income people buy private insurance. It would require nearly all Americans to obtain insurance or pay financial penalties for failing to do so." - NY Times

I mean, really? Reform in the sense that Obama's buddies on Wall St. can reap the rewards of the fact that now the government is forcing people to get health insurance when people are having a hard time in the current economic climate to get on with their dailies? The public option had me excited because there could be genuine competition. Considering the price fixing and high price of premiums already being rigged by the insurance companies, how does this help the American people? I got about 4 pages into the actual bill when it was released and my eyes about rolled into the back of my brain from all the complex gibberish written down there so I may be misinformed, but I can't see any major benefit right now based on what I've read from random news outlets and mailing lists. Your thoughts?

 

My thoughts are don't put up stuff like this on a motorcycle forum, cause all you're going to do is cause a crap storm between members unnecessarily.

 

Yes, this will degerate quickly but the socialist agenda that is being pushed on the American Public, and the overwhelming desire to redistribute wealth is unbelievable.

The Health Care reform is ridiculous. The House version includes a provision that covers all the ****ing ILLEGAL Aliens. The Senate version was only passed by swaying the crentist senators through offering riders that provided their specific states with financial windfalls for their vote. It was the biggest buyout in the world.

Don't get me started on the Unions, the Gitmo ordeal, or any of the other BULL**** that the moron running our country is shoving down our throats. The most worrisome thing though is that so many believe that great things are going on by us selling our souls to China via debt issuance at increasingly higher rates - HELL the Chinese are getting to where they don't even want it.

The only government intervention that ever should have been initiated is a prop-up of Lehman Brothers, which probably would have helped stave off the economic tsunami that has befallen the world, and that the democrats hope to solve by spending trillions that I will have to pay back in the future.

**** Barack. Socialism didn't work in Russia, Cuba, or China so what the **** makes him think it will work here.... Let free market capitalism weed out the weak.

 

It's a new tax, that's all. people who work will pay more and more will be enticed to be on the dole...

I love the new CBR 1000rr though!

 

it may be a joke, but it's no laughing matter...

 

I'd love to debate this all day and some of you know my political views but Chain doesnt want politics talked about here in the OT section at all so this has gota go
