Mitch McConnell already said his number one priority will be to defeat the president in 2012.
Not help the American economy, not help the American people, but defeat the president.
Glad you got your priorities straight, Mitch.

General welfare does not mean the same as take over the personal responsibilities of individual citizens via government redistributionIn my opinion, it is not the duty or constitutional role of the federal government to provide health care to the citizenry.

How many of the over 1000 pages of that bill have you read? How many pages has anyone really read? They need to repeal that bill because no average or even above average citizen would take the time to read it or know what is in it. Most Congressmen and Senators who voted for it do not even know what is truly in it. It needs to be dismantled and simplified. Bring it down to 100 pages or less so that politically minded people can and will take the time to read it and not as much junk can be added in.

just as with the part "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;" is taken only in a partial quote by most entitlement junky by leaving out "of the United States"... changing the meaning from being focused on the union to make it appear that it is about government forced charity through entitlements

Here it is, in its entirety, in 68 pages. You can go section-by-section and see everything that's in it.

Your not going to post the 16000 pages of regulation? Why not? Oh we have to pass it to see WHATS IN IT. It passed whats in it?

Exactly
If the ones who have the responsibility of doing something about it would put as much effort into improving themselves and their earnings as they do about bitching and moaning, they would have no problem paying for whatever insurance they want

That is not the bill that passed that is a summary. No where near the same thing.

Regulations exist to put the concepts in legislation into practice. A piece of legislation will put forth a general idea but, Congressmen not being experts, they leave it to the executive branch which solicits public comment on rules it produces. So the simplest example of this is the requirement that insurance plans allow children of policyholders to stay on their plans if they choose to up to the age of 26. The part of the law establishing this is very short:
SEC. 2714. EXTENSION OF DEPENDENT COVERAGE.
`(a) In General- A group health plan and a health insurance issuer offering group or individual health insurance coverage that provides dependent coverage of children shall continue to make such coverage available for an adult child (who is not married) until the child turns 26 years of age. Nothing in this section shall require a health plan or a health insurance issuer described in the preceding sentence to make coverage available for a child of a child receiving dependent coverage.
`(b) Regulations- The Secretary shall promulgate regulations to define the dependents to which coverage shall be made available under subsection (a).
`(c) Rule of Construction- Nothing in this section shall be construed to modify the definition of `dependent' as used in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 with respect to the tax treatment of the cost of coverage.
They throw out the idea and leave it to HHS to fill in the details to make it work. Which is why there's now an interim final rule (20 pages long!) clarifying how this works. But a page count isn't particularly descriptive since the actual rules aren't 20 pages long. Most of the space is taken up by background, estimates of the economic impact and paperwork burdens of the regulation, and even examples (in the form of hypothetical scenarios) that demonstrate how the rule works in practice. So just because a regulation is 20 pages long, that doesn't mean there are actually 20 pages of new rules in it that have to be followed.
But if you want to talk about specific regulations, that's fine with me.

Nothing.
