No pre existing condition, no life time caps, tax cuts for small business, keep your children on your policy until age 26, 95% of Americans get insurance, donut hole in prescription drug coverage closed... hmmmm, hey tea partiers, are you sure "Americans don't want Obamacare", cause it's sounding pretty good to me.
Except you won't be able to afford it (which is by design).
Yeah, this isn't true.
I'm still on the same Ins. plan I was on a year ago. The premiums and co-pays haven't gone up, and the coverage hasn't gone down.
Whooops.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention, according to the Congressional Budget Office, in the first ten years Obamacare saves us 140 Billion dollars and in the ten years after that another Trillion dollars.
Tea Partiers, what part of cutting the deficit don't you get?

Most Americans don't know the program exists, yet tens of millions support the legislation?
What the hell do they know about it that makes them support it then? That it's a democrat bill?
Partisan politics works. The party in power for the last four years almost shoved this country over a cliff.
I'm down for the other party.

doesn't schip cover any child? with anything?

Health - WSJ.com: Only 8,000 enroll in health plan for preexisting conditions
A new nationwide effort to provide health coverage to uninsured Americans with preexisting conditions is off to a slow start, largely due to high costs and a lack of awareness.
As of Nov. 1, only 8,011 people were enrolled in the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan, numbers from the Dept. of Health and Human Services show.

We saved 8,000 people and the Wall Street Journal doesn't care.
Conservatism is the political codification of selfishness.

Anything but self-interest is a false utopia, something no society has succeeded at to the extent of the free United States.
Is it worth throwing the entire health care system over a cliff for 8000 people?
Is it worth spending trillions more for 8,000 people?
Obamacare Nixes Doctor-Owned Hospitals
January 4, 2011 1:34 P.M.
By Matthew Shaffer
Kenneth Artz, of the Heartland Institute, explains:
Section 6001 of the health care law effectively bans new physician-owned hospitals (POHs) from starting up, and it keeps existing ones from expanding. It has already halted the development of 24 new physician-owned hospitals and forced an additional 47 to struggle to meet the deadline to complete construction, according to the Physician Hospitals of America (PHA).
As Politico reports, Physician Hospitals of America says that construction had to stop at 45 hospitals nationwide or they would not be able to bill Medicare for treatments.
Jeffrey Anderson, at the Weekly Standard
This little-noticed but particularly egregious aspect of Obamacare is, by all accounts, a concession to the powerful American Hospital Association (AHA), a supporter of Obamacare, which prefers to have its member hospitals operate without competition from hospitals owned by doctors. Dr. Michael Russell, president of Physician Hospitals of America, which has filed suit to try to stop this selective building-ban from going into effect, says, There are so many regulations [in Obamacare] and they are so onerous and intrusive that we believe that the section [Section 6001] was deliberately designed so no physician owned hospital could successfully comply.
Artz writes, According to Russell, the AHA, along with Sen. [Max] Baucus (D-MT) and Congressman Pete Stark (D-CA), are responsible for the language in Section 6001.
What a perfect example of regulatory capture. (Of course, as Anderson notes, primary responsibility lies with those who voted the bill into law.)
