Bottom line unfair, and should not pass because it’s wrong. ———–> The bill passed in a 219-212 vote after more than a year of bitter partisan debate. All 178 Republicans opposed it, along with 34 Democrats.
The overall $940 billion plan is projected to extend insurance coverage to roughly 32 million additional Americans. It represents a significant step toward the goal of universal coverage sought by every Democratic president since Harry Truman. ***GOVERNMENT’S DEBT PROBLEM IS THEIR PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD TAKE CARE OF TEHIR OWN DEBT, AND LEAVE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE OUT OF THE FORMULA. WHY SHOULD WE PAY HIGHER TAXES OR MORE TAXES FOR THEIR DEBT. THEY CAN JUST PRINT MORE MONEY, THUS CREATING MORE DEBT. ***WE SEND PEOPLE TO THE MOON, WE CREATE SUPER COMPUTERS, WE CREATE VACCINE’S, ETC. CAN THE U.S. GOVERNMENT CREATE A SOLUTION TO TAKE CARE OF DEBT, EXCLUDING US AMERICANS. WHO SUFFERS MOST — THE MIDDLE CLASS. ENOUGH SAID.
Bottom line unfair voting. ———–>WHY should we pay more taxes, why us, why provide for people w/o jobs. Why, help the lazy folk in U.S. that sit on their buttocks, and receive state assistance. We should not have to pay more taxes, because 32 million Americans do not have health insurance. ***MAIN REASON some Americans do not have health insurance is… IT’S TOO EXPENSIVE. FOR EXAMPLE, $275 FOR 1 PERSON, FOR YOUR WIFE OR FOR YOUR HUSBAND. And you can not use the dental portion of the plan for 1 year! That’s just giving the health insurance firms FREE money!

Brown, however, decried the vote and said the nation can’t afford the measure. “Today’s vote shows that leaders in Washington continue to ignore the will of the people,” he said. “Americans have sent a message to Washington for the past year, including with my election, that they are opposed to this multitrillion-dollar health care bill that will raise taxes, increase premiums, cut Medicare and leave future generations with a mountain of debt.”
