Yay!

this is such wonderful news. For seniors with medical problems and that are taking alot of different drugs this is great! Thank you Obama.

Illegal immigrants are covered by Medicaid in the emergency rooms. We who pay taxes and insurance premiums will continue to pay for that care.

Praise Obama!!! Just because some of us aren't born with a silver spoon up our a** doesn't mean we're not entitled to some health insurance. I worked hard in my younger days and was never provided insurance. The young people today that work hard deserve some government benefits!! Tax the excess and distribute it wisely!!

Goverment benefits--------- means goverment taxation and regulation----What you praise today you will complain about tomorrow . The goverment is not some magical power that is out there to fix any problem that arises. We are the goverment (tax payers). i would rather pay for my own health care with no goverment inteference than be taxed to pay for others. If this is such a great idea than what has happened to our goverment controlled social security and goverment supported health care for the elderly that is already in place? Was not born with a silver spoon but with a sense of being responsible for my own well being.

Entitled??? What's their definition of "Affordable Health Insurance"

I have to bust my butt working to pay $800+ a month for insurance. Is that affordable? Currently it's my choice to have coverage or not.

There is no way the government should be able to FORCE you to purchase something, especially by calling the penalty a TAX.

who is going to pay for this? yeah we all have health care!!! Who is paying? What does the government produce or sell to make money??? answer is NOTHING! They dont have money to pay for anything without first taking it from someone! Take it from the rich! take it from the rich! WHO employees people so that we have jobs??? ASk a poor person for a job that pays well!!! no the rich hire people and when they have to pay more, guess what they dont do??? They dont hire people!!! YEah we all have health care!!! whoopie skip to my lou!!! Enjoy your higher taxes and lower wages and even LESS job opportunity!!

oh and for you older people rejoicing..... oh you need a special medication? sorry your already 80 yrs old, we cant afford to give you that expensive stuff, we have all these younger people to take care of!! Im sure you had a good life, lets give some other people a chance... THAT will be your praise Obama response.... say you need a surgery? Nooooo your way past your prime to have that... give your family our regards!

you see, when the governement is in charge, that means your not!! They will decide what you get and what you dont, not you!! ooohhh but its your right to have this you say?? noooo you gave up that right when you let the government decide your fate for you!!

An article about health care and a picture of two very obese people. Good combo!

Get ready for the collapse...
