Never forget what Pelosi said: You have to pass the law in order to
know what's in it.

Nice poll. They asked people what they think their situation *will be*
like under the ACA. So, they're looking at how effective GOP scare
tactics have been, not how happy people are with what they have.

Here's a thought: we KNOW the old system is broken, and, if it doesn't
change, it's going to get even worse. How about we try to make some
modest changes, and see what happens? Based on the new information, we
can make further changes later on. You know, like the way EVOLUTION
works. We don't (can't) have to come up with a perfect system in one
attempt. We can make incremental improvements.

The GOP is shitting their pants because they know that once people get a
taste of a better health care system, they will NEVER want to go back.

You know damned well that the GOP wanted to do a piecemeal approach, instead
of having Pelosi's all singing, all dancing approach that nobody understands
even yet.

It is totally hosed up now, when it could have been a change for the better.

By rolling out protections for children, for those with pre-existing
conditions and those with adult children up to 26, there are now
millions of American families who LOVE the ACA. I think even the most
conservative of those parents would turn against any politician who
threatened the health of their children.

I wonder what effect the full rollout of the ACA will have on the 2014
midterms.

That's a complete crock
Even Unions are now realizing what a screw-up piece of garbage Obamacare
actually is, and that it will reduce health care quality and increase costs
for the great majority of the population

The funny notion is that removing Obamacare would "threaten the health"
Particularly when you consider how many people are killed and maimed
annually by malpractice from the so-called 'medical profession'

OK, sure!

Excessive wait times for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies are
a major problem in the Canadian healthcare system.

Efforts to reduce wait times for MRI have focused on increasing the
number of diagnostic imaging devices, as Canada lags far behind other
countries in this regard. For instance, Japan and the United States
have 35.3 and 19.5 MRI units per million population, respectively,
whereas Canada has only 4.6.

Canadians have longer life spans because they hate the American way.
They also have lower divorce rates because they have had Gay marriage

I made some great friends while working in Dayton years-ago. Former
Air Force and Navy vets. Good people. But their visits to Canada
consisted of Ontario, not Toronto, but Ft. Francis for hunting. So
far away from Toronto. Geographically, you can fit 1.5 times the
state of Texas in Ontario, and still have room left over for Arkansas
and perhaps Rhode Island. "You guys sell milk in bags!" It was as

1/2 of Sudbury and a lot of North Ontario is French speaking.
Sudbury is still more or less mid Ontario. When you get to Thunder
Bay, there's a massive chunk of real estate well north of it. If you
start driving from the Quebec border through Ontario, it takes 2 days
of solid 24 hour driving to hit Manitoba, after that it's less than
that amount to hit the Rockies.

Yup. Took that long to drive from Ottawa to Sault Saint Marie, I
remember. Most of what's now Ontario was part of the Northwest
Territories, and the Keewatin. And the north shore has polar bears.

Quebec is even wilder, extending well into the Arctic.

Why not ask your own people?

Union leaders argue insurance costs for millions of workers will
increase under the president's health-care plan so they might have to
drop their existing plan, despite Obama promising the opposite.
Their primary concern is the multi-employer or so-called Taft-Hartley
plans that cover unionized workers in retail, construction,
transportation and other industries that frequently use seasonal and
temporary employment.

Well, let's see....we have employers shifting people to part time, and yet
more employers cutting the hours of their part timers so that in the end
they won't have to provide them with medical insurance. Then despite this
reduction in their income these people now MUST buy medical insurance they
can't afford or be hit with a massive punitive tax.

Oh, but you say that's ok the 'government' (read as the American tax payer)
must now pick up the tax resulting in yet MORE taxation on them.

Sorry, but I'm not seeing the good in this, but rather a lot of people being
shoved further down the economic ladder buy either having their income
slashed, or having it taken away to feed the increasing spending appetite of
the government.

��[T]he government of the United States is a definite government, confined
to specified objects. It is not like the state governments, whose powers are
more general. Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government.�
-James Madison

�To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his
fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose
fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate
arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone
the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.�
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Joseph Milligan, April 6, 1816

�When all government, domestic and foreign, in little as in great things,
shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power, it will render
powerless the checks provided of one government on another and will become
as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated.�
-Thomas Jefferson to Charles Hammond, 1821. The Writings of Thomas
Jefferson, (Memorial Edition) Lipscomb and Bergh, editors, ME 15:332

In 1794, when Congress appropriated $15,000 for relief of French refugees
who fled from insurrection in San Domingo to Baltimore and Philadelphia,
James Madison stood on the floor of the House to object saying, �I cannot
undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted
a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of
their constituents.�
-James Madison, 4 Annals of congress 179 (1794)

�If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and
will promote the general welfare, the government is no longer a limited one
possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one subject to particular

Yup. We are seeing the fact that corporations cannot be trusted to think
of anything but their bottom lines. That's OK, in the sense that they
have fiduciary responsibilities to their owners. But that also means
they can't be trusted to provide necessary benefits for their workers.

> Oh, but you say that's ok the 'government' (read as the American tax

We'll see. Negotiating for better prices across the entire medical
enterprise would take care of that.

Hmmm.. Last time I checked people are adults at 21. By that time you should
already have your start in life.

Why should your parents continue to be forced to support you long after
you're a functioning adult?

Maybe they should also be forced to supply room and board, transportation,
and living expenses while they're at it?

Given that tort costs amount to slightly over 1% of medical costs, I
