Shame on Bentley!

Bentley everyone in Alabama is not a Republican and some of us is very happy with the outcome. Being a senior citizen with alot of medical problems I am very happy for this. All these ppl that are so against it apartenly are in great health and has never had a family member with health problems. This Act is a great thing for everyone.

Small business will suffer more as if we did not suffer enough already. As I recall Obama said if economics were not better in three years he will be a one term president....let us hope his prediction is correct. Tax payers suffer now but in the future it will be everyone under his guidance.

Well I voted for Obama and will again. He has done more wonderful things for the middle class than any President before. We are always helping all these other countries..its time we finally started helping our own.

Jimmy, this is a terrible thing. If you are a senior with a lot of health problems, the government is going to decide that it isn't cost-effective to treat you, and they will let you DIE. The rest of us are going to be treated like cattle.

Obamacare is officially the law of the land. Please take the time to read and understand what this monumental piece of legislature will actually achieve before posting ignorant, party-based opinions. Millions of people will benefit. It's about time America took a progressive stand regarding health care.

Steve, Obamacare puts the burden on an individual. If you are a free rider, one that does not purchase insurance, you will pay a penalty. I am so good with personal responsibility. Small business are not required to provide health insurance. How will small business suffer?

Becky, NO and you know better

Republicans are whiners and are killing progress

Bubba is ready to move on and start growing America

All Obamie has done for the middle class is push us to lower class towards poverty level day by day yeah boy thats a big improvement , the entitlement generation is rolling in welfare and housing and food stamp dough and the rest of us are losing our homes and businesses and everything we own to pay for you

Impeach the moron and repeal all his crap before we turn in to Cuba - send him to live with his muslim buddies asap
