Health Care Bill Passes 219-210Follow

Tbh, some of the money left lying around after the Pentagon gets emasculated could be put to good use teaching the rudiments of English to illiterates such as you.

No, the bill is the complete bill and has become law. The House just said "Yeah, ok, we know the Republicans are stalling, so let's get the important part through and then we can wrangle out the rest of it after." It was kind of the huge point of discussion here for the past few days... did you miss it? Long story short, the bill is a law now, and the debates and amendments over the reconciliation will not affect the actual bill itself, which goes into effect now.

And yeah, the Senate bill was available for like three months. That's pretty up front. Now, it remains to be seen what the reconciliation becomes. Let's see if it gets passed quickly and openly, or if endless amendments and stalling keep it from being "upfront with the American people."

The parts in the reconciliation bill. Duh.

Pubis,



I believe you'll find it somewhere in this famous passage, see if you can find it.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

deathy,

of course the next line says;



Without property rights there can be no liberty, no freedom. When one person can force another, at the point of the govn gun, to surrender their property to provide the food, housing, retirement, and now healthcare for someone else we no longer have liberty or freedom.

I can seee how this might confuse someone like yourself.

Samy,

Insurance has traditionally been left up to the states to self regulate. Not only that but how can the interstate commerce clause be used here to justify this? States don't deal health insurance across state lines.

Tulip,



I agree why don't you tell the govn to stop it.





So me being forced to pay for housing, food, retirement, and now healthcare for someone else is all part of being a good american?

Remind me again what brand of liberty this is.

Yes.

It's the brand where everyone, and not just the rich, get to participate.

Yeah, the founding fathers fled the oppressive weight of Olde Worlde Europe so that they could come over here and be self-serving greedy cockfaces. I can totally see it.

What's funny is that no one that posts on this website is truly and ridiculously poor. If you have the time and money to spend on the internet, you're not poor.

This means that the people on this site advocating for the rights of the poor are simply people that want to help genuinely poor people.

But ******** like varrus are so stuck on their own materialism, they'll never understand that. Go have fun on your boat, totally ignoring the plight of people less fortunate than you. Maybe the Ghost of Tightwad Present will pay you a visit sometime.

To be fair, I would pay cash money to see you cruising for college chicks.

Okra farming, not so much.

I bet I could pick more up than Varrus, too!

You still seem to be laboring under the delusion that the majority of welfare recipients are these lazy bastards that just want a handout. I guess if that's good enough for Rush, it's good enough for you.
