APTOPIX Health Care Overhaul

Though the House of Representatives made history last night by passing a sweeping health care reform bill, this fight is far from over. President Obama still has to sign the overhaul into law, and once he does so there remain several “fixes” to be made to the bill and a great deal of legislative wrangling left to do during the controversial “reconciliation” process. Naturally, Republicans can be counted upon to throw up roadblocks during every step of the process. So while the passage of this bill is certainly cause for excitement, it would be a mistake to believe this reform is 100% secure at this stage of the game. Below, MSNBC explains what we can expect going forward. – NewsOne Staff

From MSNBC:

So, now what?

Relieved Democrats may still be celebrating the passage of landmark health care overhaul legislation, but Republicans in the Senate still have an opportunity to try to derail the bill.

Text continues after gallery …

And if history is any guide, they are likely to force the House to vote on health care again before Easter. “Anybody that thinks that this is only going to be a one-time deal today in the House, I think, is grossly mistaken,” said Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

RELATED: HOUSE PASSES HISTORIC HEALTH CARE REFORM, 219-212

Late Sunday, the House passed the Senate’s version of the comprehensive bill, and because most members didn’t like it, they also passed a smaller bill of so-called “fixes.”

Passing of those subsequent fixes was a critical component to passage of the Senate bill for House Democrats.

Without them, House Democrats would have been supporting a bill with elements deemed largely undesirable. A promise by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that the Senate would work to approve the package of fixes coaxed “yes” votes from many Democratic lawmakers who had previously indicated they might oppose the Senate bill.

On Tuesday, the Senate is expected to start its work on the fixes bill using a little-understood procedure known as reconciliation.

RELATED: Obama To GOP On Health Care: “Let’s Get This Done”

For Democrats, reconciliation is the perfect antidote to what they feel is Republican obstructionism in the upper chamber. The process is filibuster-proof, requiring only 51 votes for final passage rather than the usual 60 to overcome a blockade by the minority party.

For Republicans, reconciliation is their best chance to kill the smaller bill or make changes to it. Because the House and Senate must pass the same bills — word for word — even a minor tweak would send it back to the House for another vote.

    It is complete insanity that all of this back and forth BS has to happen to get something done in Congress. How do the Republicans STILL have a chance to block healthcare reform? This is ridiculous.

    The racist tea party folks were in full form here in DC, calling black congress members the n****rs word and throwing homophobic slurs at Barney Frank. And we are supposed to think these people and their representatives actually care about health coverage for less fortunate Americans?

    People is being fooled by what Obama is putting out. This bill will cost 2 to 3000 a year. Why would you want to be forced to pay for this insurance. Yeah he said he will give subsidies to help pay for the cost. But what is 2 or 300 dollars to the high cost. Who knows what will be the fine if you choose not to buy the insurance. Why should I be forced to pay for insurance to benefit people who cant afford it. Also when the small and maybe large businesses start paying for the insurance they are going to lay off people. Its not like the insurance going to go into effect right away. Think about why it want go into effect until 2014. Its so screwed up that Obama will not get reelected in 2012. Come on my black people use your head!!! The republicans is not just running there mouth. Obama and his people are really taking away your rights. I like Obama and I also voted for him but he is going to far.

    Until you have read the entire bill page by page, I don’t think you can be for or against it. Every American Citizen having healthcare is a great thing but at what cost.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/j_sp8ts/ j_sp8ts

    What is the problem is that these insurance companies needs to be regulated. Make them quit denying people and regulate how much premiums can be. Get more strict on people who do things to there bodies that cause health problems like smoking and not eating right. I bet you will start seeing healthier people. Its a shame that I can go to other countries and see so many people thats in shape. Its weird seeing families or people in the neighborhood get out and exercise together.

    If you want to see what universal healthcare is. Go to a military hospital. You will change your mind very quick. So many soldiers go to the civilian hospitals to get the better service. After getting into a car accident. It took the nurses 6 hours just to ask a few questions and to just give me some pain pills to come back another time. Also waited 4 hours just to get the morning after pill for my wife. Universal healthcare is a joke!

    You Do know that 30 democrats voted against this garbage ?
    I am neither rep or Dem .
    I also know that we are giving more power to insurance companies with this bill
    as if they are no rich enough as it is
    So if insurance companies pay less and have more control
    Do you actually think that healthcare is gonna be better
    The hospital gets paid less the nurses and doctors pay less and you think this bill makes it better ?????????????????????????

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/pro-driver/ pro-driver

    to J_sp8ts: You are sooo right about everything! I just don’t know why the proponents can’t see this sham! I agree with you about the people who don’t take care of themselves. It should be that if you smoke, especially a chain smoker, some kind of addict, or just gorging yourself with the unhealthiest food, you get the fine or restrictions. Well, these folks will soon regret it; when they need heart surgery or whatever, wait in line, because that’s the way it will be. I shouldn’t have to pay for them or anyone who doesn’t want to work. Obama just wanted this passed so he can get the glory, and if chooses not to run again or loses, I don’t think he cares! Well, since this is passed, let’s see him tackle unemployment like he said he would and hasn’t. We need more people like you J_sp8ts to preach the truth

    **THIS IS NOT HEALTH-CARE REFORM** Their are so many OTHER ways they could have reform the health systems.

    I agree with Mister magnetic, You such as I are both on the same sheet of music. The other Black Republicans such as Bruce88, jamaswill, pro driver, N8thereal,tex tex, jsp8ts and Kitathadiva all have been blinded by the so called Tea Party racists along with the Republicans. It iis a shame that we as blacks and other minorities have fallen victim to the “Great white way” of capitalism meaning, “I’ve got mine, now I am gonna watch you suffer till you die trying to get yours!” That mentality belongs in the white world, not our black world. We are supposed to be caring and together, lest we fall victim to the white way and fall from Gods grace. There are allot of people that need the health care reform, some I know have never had health care and now Obama has given them hope. Was Obama to go his term without doing nothing for the common folk? He did something that will assist many underprivileged families. The current system only helps the privileged and that seems the way that the republicans, Tea party affiliates and the named above wants it….for the record I am a 46 yr old Army combat disabled veteran and I an Independent party voter.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Shigyrl_7/ Shigyrl_7

    I would liketo call this bill the enslavement of a nation. Rudeboy is the perfect example of the group think mentality that is expected of black people by democrats. This president has done nothing for the common man. except to increase the numbers already on the dole. You think it is hard to get care through the VA. You havent seen anything yet. Americans are going to be begging to go back to the old system once its all said and done.

    Seriously! Those who forget their history are bound to repeat it. Anyone in favor of the insurance companies continual robbing regardless of your economic situtation might need to seek professional advice. But take into consideration your insurance company will most likely deny the claim; oh but not anymore they can’t deny claims for pre-existing conditions.

    Wow … My People too: “I’m sooo glad ObamaCare went forth for one reason — and one reason only … ‘All of you who are ‘hoopla’ about Obamacare have no idea what you’re asking for. I guarantee, things will get much, much worse’. Right now, the very man you pushed that ‘Vote’ button for is screwing you in Taxes, and you feel it in your pockets, but ain’t see nothing yet! Even at year-end 2010, the elected Prez by “YOU” will allow the Bush Tax Cuts to Expire … meaning, your income taxes will escalate to the HIGHEST % Rates (LOL). I didn’t do this to The People … My conscious is clean.

    Insulting people’s intelligence is not persuasive. It just makes people more hardened in their own opinions. Besides your argument is all over the place and filled with misinformation that you expect everybody to take your word on.

    Unless you’re a smoker, most people actually paid less in taxes since President Obama has taken office than before due to the tax rebates included in the stimulus. Right now 47% of the country has no net federal tax liability, hence those huge tax “refunds” most people get that are larger than the amount they actually paid during the year. The only folks that will be affected by letting the bush tax cuts expire are those earning over $250,000 a year. Less than 5% of the population earns that much.

    Your state and local taxes are where regular people are actually seeing increases. That has little to do with the President, and more to do with the spending priorities of your state. Most states are increasing taxes so as to pay for their bloated Department of Correction budgets.

    As for jobs, we were losing 750,000 jobs per month and the economy was CONTRACTING when the President took over. At that time they expected to continue losing hundreds of thousands of jobs and continue economic contraction for at least one year. Since then the economy has actually been GROWING since last summer, and job losses have been pared back to the tens of thousands. And the expectation is that we’ll see positive job growth by early summer.

    Now the President has done what everybody said would be impossible. He was able to bend Congress to his will and expand health care coverage to over 30 million Americans by 2014. The black population itself is expected to have 8 to 10 million of us suddenly receive coverage that were not insured before due to cost and/or discrimination. Couple that with an end to discrimination against those of us with diabetes, sickle cell, heart disease, and every other disease we disproportionately are living with or dying from and no thinking black man or woman should be complaining. The subsidies will pay for more than half of premium costs for households within 400% of the poverty level. That means the vast majority of the black population will receive some sort of subsidy for health care, whether its Medicaid, Medicare, or these new subsidies for private insurance.

    The new thing amongst many of us is to tear down the President so as to present ourselves as “conscious” or “smart” or “free” or whatever other nonsense intellectually insecure people come up with to separate themselves from other black folk they feel superior to.

    Don’t fall for the okey-doke. Challenge these folks to present facts, not just talking points they got from their republican friends they’re trying to impress.

    we were the only major country without universal health care. judging from what i seen from other countries, it will be far from perfect, but to have everybody covered is amazing.

    Respectfully, to all cowards, just in case you missed it:

    THE PREMISE OF ABORTION

    This is that rare occasion where GOD and (man) share the exact sentiment of non-negotiation: “For ye shall reap as ye have sown: non-negotiable.” Being nice could be a good thing – a no brainer. Nonetheless, seeing as how GOD will not be hosting Congress nor likely to have scheduled guest appearances at any of the (tea party) locals – I felt it prudent to denounce their collective evil of the occasions. Speaking from the kingdom within – the [One] that matters, no doubt abreast of Armageddon, it appears I do have a moment… The opposition to HCR is determine to make the premise of abortion and Caesar’s revenue an interchangeable and revolving issue to negate any meaningful progress that will vitalize and overhaul the core principles that permeates the human equation is an affront to me – having to coexist with the remarkably petty cowardice consuming mankind. If a pathetic enigma is the defining equation of the human condition, I personally would like to leave behind not just a foot print but some remnant of an impressionable if not accomplished species that may in some minuscule of the thought process, perhaps serve to compliment the intelligence that was responsible for my benevolent and compassionate potential… The fact that GOD is never complicated, I am going to keep this simple. My query is for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops or is it perhaps your usual rogues in robes/holier than thou are… If not then, my question is for the obvious sheep, in particular but hardly limited to Representatives Bart Stupak and that special (confused) wing of the US Senate, championed by Ben Nelson and Bob Casey… “Of whom it is that gives such authority to either self-righteous Bishops or bogus fraternities the postures that presume to limit, with legislation, the right that GOD gave unto woman unconditionally.” Woman’s [CHOICE] is a birthright the DNA of freewill, which is immutable: compromised only of her volition, which will be (“an adjustment of opposing principles”). As for the academia, and respective deities replete with analytical sway (dogma) to bear upon political persuasions are, at best premature, with reality being a matter of statistics, it would be callous not to consider the antecedence of one’s family member – your family, brutally raped and submersed in mortal despair, however, surviving and ultimately pregnant. A condition in which an unscrupulous spouse or a ruthless boyfriend may also influence in choosing to violate her [HOLINESS] such that enshrines, hold [SACRED] the epiphany of the VIRGIN MARY: Now haunted and tormented by this experience: literally imprisoned in the imagery, due to no fault of her own. Thus encouraged of no collective conscious or moral compulsion, persuading her to have a child, spawned of rape in the bestiality of evil as it decimate that which is holy – the womb, for it is there only, is life as known, is sacred whenever granted (privileged) – when neither stillborn nor aborted by the host [WOMAN] the cradle of life. Which, no man designeth neither is it given to his scrutiny nor placed in tribunals to be relegated to committees for summary judgment. Having said that – who pays for the hypocritical abortion whether it were conceived through consensual matrimony or an affliction of distressed rage or if such pregnancy was ever reported as an assault on her persons – that, too, would be her [right] as well. Conversely, what would serve the rationale of a confession at the point of abortion other than the obvious – it’s “personal.” Moreover, defining the maternal status of a woman’s innate propensity (predilections) [are] personal and does not construct a waiver of the State’s promise to (“serve and to protect her persons as well as her rights”). The Senate’s prerogative of proposals, on the surface is “meddling” for it goes infinitely deeper, which is clear in (mans’) motives that are hidden in the repressive symptoms of the overall rape of [woman's] freedom, that is intended to render her distraught/driven mad and dysfunctional. Such, that she looses herself – to mimic/imitate his own (clone): “Abortion is not the problem.” Still, hording a few dollars – your “monies” to avoid not righting an evil or failure to answer a call for [mercy] suffices to say that your religious theaters and bogus podiums refusing are nothing more than their subtle support of perdition (evil) thus the root as in all things evil… I trust that you will take care to spend these “monies” the sheep’s (public) funding on your selfish selves in a (house) that is not of GOD “Blessed are the merciful for they shall receive mercy” but rather your camouflaged (houses) of iniquity. The prevalence of arrogance is appalling. I tell you, GOD is “not” impressed.

    The notion that abortion will get out of control is as contemptuous as it is contrived/wicked, as man
    becomes more obsessed with the egregious controlling of [woman's] freewill; in as much as she is unable to impregnate herself, she [retains] the right to say when. It is none other than man’s own weakness that he attempts to conceal with the repression of her indivisible covenant with God. The propagation of [woman] as an inferior human is an epithet, older than man. The fact is [woman] was never GOD’S design of enslavement nor (submissive) to, which is not a compulsory tenant of [freewill] but an equal partner in divine authority over life and death, ratified/approved as the cradle of life. Whereby, it is her who has dominion/SAY-SO over man’s life and to [CHOOSE] it or not in the [image-spirit] of her creation as GOD so [CHOOSES]. At which “moments” [THEY] just may not be (“feeling you”) “who” may or may not ever be, thus delegates the pain, fame, or shame, which will be for her to navigate/find her way: “not” mans’ to legislate. It behooves the Bishops – the surpliced and robed ones that the recollection of GOD’S ["IMAGE"] is Spirit and Spirit only “I shall put you in remembrance sayeth the LORD.” Wherefore, the messengers gave warning, not to make any graven images, to shape by carving or sculptures of GOD because (man) in his cowardice, neither looks nor act anything like GOD, and obviously are still clueless. Nonetheless, the major problem in today’s world is no enigma but the simplicity of ignorance and the darkness of it, which obscures the cerebral parasite that have (man) obsessing over the control of [woman's] freedom and if you must put a face to it – consider the consciousness of a Judas, under whose shadow man (chose) to kneel. Because of [woman's] witness of (mans’) greatest truth, the fact that (“HE RAN”) thus the cowardice of his flight, is in no (position) to school her on matters of [physician] (“any person or thing that heals, relieves, or comforts”). In addition, envious of the fact that GOD obviously agreed, therefore giving woman the ultimate authority, yes over man in all of his might, his preferred delusion… To reiterate, because of his own error/weakness as oppose to [RESPONSIBILITY] it is with divine authority that [woman] gets to [CHOOSE] whether to grant (man) the ["PRIVILEGE"] of life. Wherefore, It is with supreme respect for you the (gifted) of GOD/ALLAH that I beg to indulge with a clear proximity of what problem (man) has spawned and from where in the desert and the shadow of death. This journey did not begin in Europe nor America but rather in the belly of the East, literally. It is there that the Islamic male trains to despise [woman's] life giving authority: The blind inherently leading the blind fallowing generations of sadistic and symptomatic activity and are unable to comprehend, neither the problem nor obliged to assess the “why” of all the hostility toward the [woman] of every province. It is because of this ignorance that the infant female, that manages to survive an instant burial in the desert sands of SW Asia just for being born female, discovers, only later, that (man) would force her to wrap herself in the indignity of a leper. To “survive” she succ**bs to these rags of vile distain and humiliation after various molestations and a butchering performance of beastly mutilation of her persons and genitalia. Shunned and ostracized, because the “ghouls,” since, masturbators of death, have cited that [woman] “uncontrolled” represents the danger of moral contamination. To add to this barbarism – in the 21st century A.D. her face is cut-up and marred for life – on her way to school, for aspiring to be useful (worthy) of the infinite knowledge and the potential that GOD has already placed within her. It is little doubt, that it would have been better for her in 2100 B.C. when [that land] was formally, Babylon…
    In the U.S. (mans’) proclivity is more subtle and somewhat resigned to just beating and kicking [woman] around occasionally to keep her in check (caged) in his fear, and so forth. Regardless of respective geography, fact is these dark sides of (man) the masked (clone) is yet running with the darkness and still is very much a (coward) when he has, but to challenge the (clone). Mans’ distressing over the fact that he has been afraid is unparalleled “since the parable of his running from GOD in the Garden of Eden.” (Man) has indeed been running ever since – establishing great armies and militias, amassing kingdoms and expansive republics in the wake of his cowardice flight ascribed in the misleading topography that adorns the halls of imperial mosques and lavish rotundas to perpetuate a facade that cloaks the fact that all this celebrated devotion, bravery and fearlessness is just a pet delusion.

    Even so, with such foolishness as pedestrian conflicts (wars), he cannot alter the fact that (man) is just as bizarre in his jubilant rally in glory that belongs to GOD, real or imagined, e.g., (mans’) POW is the (“glorified”) product of (his) war, which makes (him) the prisoner within it – reflection of his clone; the war [is] his prison. GOD’S POW, coming or going is that of holiness, the POWER OF WOMAN or WOMAN OF POWER: “The flow is always about harmony.” Of the two endeavors (war) or [holiness] only one strikes a balance of agreement and are likely to be a blessing – there is no contest between (war) and that which is [HOLY] wherein (All) are heroes that may be ["glorified"] in GOD. [Woman] is what she has always been – a HERO: Whether mutilated and disfigured, she is yet dignified in her curiosity that still serves her courage heroically. GOD ["WE LOVE HER"] is [OUR] report if you will permit me to speak aloud for her host of [FRIENDS] who have to witness the madness of (mans’) self induced phobia first hand for GOD cannot SOIL HIS HAND for (your) sake, in the horrors that (man) do. Though the contention of (mans’) [Being] was indeed sublime/magnificent. However, when (man) first stumbled, all that was necessary – would have been today’s equivalent of an APOLOGY: Pride and [choice] of an indignant attitude wove as in [Woe] unto him an imprisoned destiny (FEAR) the (“creation”) for which he falsely (blames) GOD. Fear has no place in GOD’S continuum: GOD cannot own it, it would be a direct contradiction of faith “I have not given you a spirit of (fear) but one of [courage] sayeth the Lord” according to the Christ, Jesus of Nazareth. Like much of all else of primeval heritage that sprouted from the hamlets, colonies, and obscure satellites no doubt got twisted, because (man) brought forth fear into the world whilst running from his own error and frustration that morphed into melancholy. However, to vent this upon [woman] as somehow her fault is not the answer just as al-Qaeda and the Taliban’s fight are symptomatic in essence and (war) is not the treatment. The insurgency is simply the darkest side of (mans’) own consciousness; because of it (darkness), there is little reflection. Wherefore, (man) stumbles in daylight, blinded by ignorance, and running out of time: [Man] has less than a decade to prepare for this [woman], the object of his lateral torment… For the most powerful [woman] in the world does not have to play nice, when reconciling a former nightmare: “Madam President of the U.S.A.” It is not my objective to lecture – (man) do not have the time or I the inclination, however, I will suggest that you not make this your last class to pass… From the perspective of the larger picture – left to the perils of your currant understanding you will be less than enthusiastic. Of course, too, there will be those few among you needing to get over themselves: GOD only requires [ONE] (man-child) “Be ye (singular or plural) therefore perfect even as the Father within you is perfect.” “THAT is the [MISSION]…” Woman has been diligent in her standing effort of some six billion in this cause – giving (man) every opportunity to find ["HIM"]. My flow on GOD’S opinion – in a word: …the fact that (man) isn’t doing anything (“worthwhile”) with all of her babies, one would think that she should be rather tired at present – about now… His rebellious and displaced soul is yet misguided, incessantly contrary, hateful and ungrateful: Woman is the wherewithal of the means that the (WORLD’S) society may indeed cultivate (ATONE/RECONCILE) in which GOD shall remember no more after [One] man-child, rises – formed of Divinity. Bemoaning, notwithstanding, the trembling within the earth or the sweep of the Tsunami, for none is lost, thus far, (man) is a clone (imitation) of what he would otherwise serve to manifest in the denial of his true nature [mission]… GOD, aside, if you really wanna impress the people I would also suggest that at least the loudest amongst you become [one] (“again”) “For ye are [gods], these things that I do ye shall do greater” sayeth the CHRIST. The fact that (mans’) erroneous use of the ["god flame"] within him created (“fear”) surely, GOD’S little IDEAL and timely SANCTIONED [EXODUS] will not be a problem… Assuming of course, that (man) would like to really help [woman] with a real problem and it will be with GOD’S blessings if he “would” make it personal… “[Woman] is now coerced to strap on bombs and detonate them upon her persons, desecrating the womb the cradle of life, which is to defile the [COVENANT].” “THAT cannot be, (mans’) assault upon [woman] will end and now would be a good time.” “If GOD has to go it alone, I can assure you, little is spared.” Wherefore, I do recommend the exodus of [Our Desert Flower].

    By virtue of the Rule of Law I report accurately what (man) do. Whereby, GOD must consider that this [woman] is not allowed to congregate with (man) in his group – so who will be her likely targets other than [herself] … [woman], the calculated and premeditated kill.” Thus, Muslims, Christians, and Jews alike, surely you remember the Diaspora of the Babylonian exile [FREE] the [WOMAN] held in captivity and you will defeat the beast from the East. The young Nazarene had the occasions to say, “THE WAY IN IS THE WAY OUT.” “NOT TO TAKE HIS WORD FOR A THING, BUT PUT IT TO THE TEST.” What other way can (man) have life in abundance other than by way of [woman] and not enter into the womb a second time…? If you still find the premise of abortion a cause for pause, then consider as well the insurgent’s (woman) in “training” that is scheduling to (“rock”) [YOUR] cradle: Then even so, if [woman] would that this cup (pregnancy) passes from her – it must be her [CHOICE] of submission, wherewith, let THY WILL BE DONE… Otherwise, GOD’S gift of freewill, the birthright of [CHOICE] HIS DNA, would be as bogus as the robes of the Bishops and the Ayatollahs.

    Shalom.

    Oh, I’m Black, Hispanic, Native American, Asian, and a lil Caucasian… “Don’t even think about it.”

    All we can hope for now is that the Senate can stop this idiot from ruining the country with this crap. I had very little respect for Obama ( I will never put the word president before his name) I have even less for him now. When you have to resort to bribing politicians, keeping them captive in the white house and misinforming the public about what is really in the bill your trying to pass it shows you have no class. This guy is a joke and will be seen as the worst president ever voted in office.

    What will happen now is total chaos. The Americans people did not want this Healthcare bill and they will voice their opposition this November during the Midterm elections. The Republicans will regain power. Obama will be a lame duck and the momentum will be the Republican’s until the Democrats wise up and do what they should have done in the first place: CHOOSE HILLARY CLINTON. There ain’t no way in the west of hell Obama is getting reelected unless something cathartic happens, and with his team of cronies, I don’t see that happening. Bye Bye egghead Democrats. Do the right thing next time and vote Hillary Clinton. I said it before, and I’ll say it again: IT JUST MAKES SENSE.

    @ Monte_Brown

    How do you know the American people don’t want this Healthcare bill? Let me guess you are one of these statistics pollsters right? Obviously the American people wanted change otherwise WE would not have sent representatives to make that change…Obama is trying to clean up the CHAOS left by the REPUGNANTS!!! And didn’t Hillary Clinton try to get universal healthcare passed years ago but didn’t accomplish it? Don’t get upset because not only is he the first African-American president…but he’s the first president ever to get an unprecedented societal plus that will benefit ‘all’ and not the chosen privileged!!!! So come out of the closet you… Republican aka Repugnant you!!!! Why are you on Black Planet anyway????

    Miss Brooks, Sixty-percent of Americans don’t approve of this Healthcare bill Congress forced upon us. Do the frigin math. Thirty-four Democrats voted against the bill. The bill only passed by 7 President Obama crony votes. You are an Obamabot. You are to President Obama what Sean Hannity was to President Bush. If President Obama say jump you say “How High”. Just hope First Lady Michelle Obama isn’t around to snatch you up for trying to take her man like Oprah tried. The thing I admire most about black women is that they love their black men and they will stand by them no matter what. That is a great thing. I ain’t mad at cha, sweetie.

    Anyhoo, You saw what happened in New Jersey and Massachusetts. If President Obama doesn’t sell this Healthcare bill, the Democrats will lose seats in the House and the Senate this November, the Tea Parties and the Republicans will start barking the same way the swift-boaters barked for Bush, and Sarah Palin will be President in 2012, unless the Democrats get smart and BEG Hillary Clinton to run. There ain’t no way in the west of Hell President Obama will win a second term, and this time Black people and those gay woman hating mealy mouths on CNN and MSNBC won’t be able to help Obie. Just deal with it. If Hillary was President she would have used Healthcare as a campaign issue then put it on the back-burner to simmer down now and focused on JOBS. “It’s the ECONOMY, STUPID.” (not calling anyone stupid. that was a title of a book) President Obama just had to prove a point. Now let’s see if we buy it. The fact is WE’RE NOT BUYING IT.

    I know you love Obama, Miss Brooks. I ain’t mad at you. You’re a woman with desires, and I must say you are a fine woman too. Obama turns you on and lights your fire. Just face the facts. Obama and the egghead know it all Democrats put forth a bill that America just don’t want and we won’t want it.

    The federal deficit is now 1.9 trillion. The United States has lost it’s triple “A” credit rating. Unemployment is 9.7 percent, and black people are still sucking up to Obama for passing Healthcare reform that won’t make a bit of difference to them. See you in November.

    Obamacare

    Through the years, I’ve listened to people begging for some sort of health care system that was affordable and effective. First of all, I’ve always had health care because I won’t apply for a job without a quality health care package. Secondly, my Momma was a Drill Sergeant when I was growing up about having health care. When I was getting ready for my first date as a teenager, my Momma told me, “Don’t be getting that girl pregnant. She ain’t covered under my health plan.” After I graciously left the military in 1996, I told my wife, “We have to find jobs with good health benefits … even if it means working for less pay. It’s all fun and games until somebody needs a kidney.” In 2004, my wife had a kidney transplant covered by her health insurance, Medicare, and then my health insurance kicked in for the residuals. Lucky for us, she was only on the waiting list for nine months, and was a perfect match for the kidney she received. I didn’t have to pay for squat, and Medicare kicked in for the first three years for her medications, and those meds are expensive.

    Back to my first statement, health care is serous business, and I believe all people should have coverage because we cannot predict when something will break or when health conditions will strike. I say this, if Momma had high blood pressure then it’s highly likely that I will develop high blood pressure too. If I have an aunt or an uncle with cancer that’s blood related, the chances are that one of my kids might develop cancer too. With health insurance, it’s easy to diagnose a condition like high blood pressure early, and begin a healthy regiment that lowers an individual’s blood pressure. It’s ashame for a thirty-five-year-old man to drop dead of an enlarged heart, hypertension, and borderline diabetes. There are simple medications for these diseases.

    I will end by asking a few questions. How can a bill that helps out my fellow man destroy America, and attacking a nation for no viable reason didn’t? How can a bill that forces insurance companies to cover preexisting conditions be bad for the country, but letting millions of people suffer needlessly isn’t? How can we be the greatest country on the planet, but treat a hard working man like a lazy bum because his job didn’t supply him with insurance?

    first of all…

    just because i agree with Obama’s policies and principles does not mean that I am in ‘lust’ or ‘i’m in love with him’….such a stereotypical view of a political black woman that supports democratic policies that supports the many instead of the few….i suggest you go to their website whitehouse.gov and read how this will benefit the millions of Americans, specifically children without healthcare with pre-existing condition…this bill will help reduce the the trillion dollar deficit that was well in place before he got to the whitehouse….hence…the ‘chaos’….do your research….basically the insurance companies are putting a price on people’s lives…and America never had an A credit rating…thanks to the republicans…let’s not even start this debate…it can go on for days…

    Ok. Miss Brooks. You won the argument. I do not disagree with you, and I am not being sarcastic. You did bring up the ideological talking points of which I cannot argue. I worked for 2 insurance comapanies and I can honestly say that they do put a price tag on people’s lives and health. I apologize for my immature assessment of black women.

    Like that song by Natalie Cole goes, “You are right, and I am wrong.” Now let’s see who wins the argument in November and beyond.

    I guess what I don’t get is we see the rest of the world reeling from socialized healthcare but yet we do the same? Doctors in greece are striking. The govnt doesn’t have money to pay for anything including healthcare. So what are we as americans going to do when stuff like that hits our shores?? Blame bush? Ha.. And if I don’t buy into this healthcare I get punished with a 2500$ fine for not being covered? Socialism at it’s worst. Even dum al sharpton admitted this was socialism.

    See Jimmy Carter in the 1970s. Took damn near 20 years to get the country back. And now here we go again.

    This is a hell of a price to pay to make a point for something that will become as corrupt and useless as anything that is already in existance.

    ‘Modern Day Slavery’

    (The Devil’s Interpretation Of My C: Drive) ”

    (Revision 3.22.2010 est 3:59 p.m.)

    Do Not Be DECIEVED By 32 Billion Un-Insured Becoming Insured; My Sources Confirms That While Drug Makers Incentives Will Go Up, Medical Technologies (As Oppose To Processing Technologies) Makers Will Be Taxed.

    The Drug Variable In This Industry Is Why The Cost Of Healthcare Is Ballooning Out Of Control In The First Place And For This Variable To Be Expanded Only Confirms The Deception, Lie And Confounds Of Their Fiscal Projections And Constitutional Obligations.

    Furthermore, By Taxing Medical Technologies That Can Decrease Utilization Of An Increasing Effective And Efficient Industry Which Stands To Takes Leaps And Bounds In Medical Innovations And Advances.

    Thus, Further Ballooning Federal Deficit,

    The Cost Will Far Exceed The Recent Upgraded Projections Of $940 Billion (Possibly 2.4 Trillion Plus More) U.S. Dollars, Which Will Result In Fiscal (Entitlements) Outpacing Monetary Reserves At An Ever Growing Pace:

    Thus, Causing (Foreign) Investors Such As China And Japan To Pull Out Their Federal Bond Investments,

    Thus, Causing An Acceleration In Overall Deficit,

    Thus, Creating A Vacuum Of The U.S. Dollar,

    Thus, Decreasing The Value Of The Dollar Significantly (Up To 45 To 65 Cents On The Dollar)

    Thus, Increasing The Wealth Of A New Breed Of 5% Elitist As Well As As Stated Above Decreasing The Value Of The Dollars Of That 5%

    As Well As Increasing And Broadening The Scope Of Poverty Within The National Socio-Economic Classification And,

    Thus Increasing Capacity Of The Remaining 95% Within Poverty Classification,

    As A Result Of Relative Tax Hikes Be Administered On Insurance Companies And Those Making Over $250,000 Annually,

    Thus Resulting In Such Entities To Logically Raise The Price Of Their Product(s) And/Or Services Across The Economic Spectrum (Not Just In Healthcare) At A TIME When Constituents’ Dependency On The Government Is In Increase And Confound Demand Thereof.

    Thus, Potentially Further Extending And Even Expanding More Relative Job Layoffs,

    Furthermore, Thus, Increasing The Possibility Of Domestic Companies Relocating To Foreign Land To Preserves Their Entities And Increase The Prospects Of A More Beneficial Profit / Revenue Elsewhere,

    Thus, Further Creating An Domestic Economic Vacuum,

    Thus, Causing A Significant If Not Absolute Collapse Of The United States Economy,

    Thus, Creating A Civil And Possible Larger Social Conflict.

    (N)Obama Is Bad For The World, Real Bad.

    If Obama Succeeds (At This Healthcare Proposal), Osama And Al Qaeda Succeeds In Their Initial Efforts When Striking The World Trade Centers In New York, Pertaining To Sabotaging The U.S. And Associate Economic System.

    Translation, The Industry Will Evolve To Possess Greater Capacities Of Drug Co-Dependencies Which Is Against Some People, Including The Un-Insured FREEDOM Of RELIGION, This Is A Liability To All Parties As Well As Unconstitutional.

    I strongly urge everyone to cut and paste Dr_Detroit777′s post, and tuck it away somewhere for future reference. Because the bottom line is, when these things IN FACT manifest itself in the future, most of you will look PAST this bill, and try to find some occurrence during the Bush years to pin the problem on. There is no doubt that Bush overspent and created unsustainable asset bubbles (particularly with housing) that sent this economy reeling, but there is another component tied to the housing bubble, that created a 50-100Trillion dollar shadow economy. The Credit Default Swap. This investment vehicle went out of control due to no regulation. Go and check how BILL CLINTON played a role in this monster being created. Google Brooksley Born and read her story and see how she tried to get in front of this thing, and who her biggest opponents were and see if you recognize any of the faces playing in political circles today!

    you guys are really funny…you don’t want the government to ‘run’ your lives…but in the same breath embrace the freedoms that we enjoy…I mean because we as a people have always had those freedoms right? and you don’t want the government to run your lives? i don’t know where you guys have been the last decades….or maybe you guys just missed those government classes in high school…but guess what? THE GOVERNMENT HAS ALWAYS AND WILL CONTINUE TO RUN YOUR LIFE AS LONG AS YOU LIVE HERE IN THE U.S. ..so .read this over and over again so that it will sink in….IF YOU HAVE HEALTHCARE…YOUR POLICY WILL NOT CHANGE…THE REFORM BILL IS CREATING A SAFE HAVEN FOR PEOPLE WITH PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS…SPECIFICALLY CHILDREN AND THE ELDERLY THAT OTHERWISE WOULD BE DENIED OR REVOKED COVERAGE AND TURNED AWAY BY PRIVATE AND PUBLIC HOSPITALS…so your arguments have no basis whatsoever…the privileged will continue to keep their healthcare…it’s just now that everyone will have the opportunity to be covered to save their health…

    i’m just really shocked at some of these comments…this ‘i got mine…so you get yours’ attitude…that you disguise with ‘tax highs’ for the 2% of the population( that so many of us make right?)…and ‘anti-big-government’ (because the government has always been fair to all races and classes right?) you guys need to take a pill and get real and get your head out of cloud nine…..

    Sorry but you are absolutely wrong with :THE GOVERNMENT HAS ALWAYS AND WILL CONTINUE TO RUN YOUR LIFE AS LONG AS YOU LIVE HERE IN THE U.S.

    We have a repuplic not an aristrocity. Which mean you can vote anyone out that you don’t agree with. If you chose to be led by the nose then that is on you.

    and : THE REFORM BILL IS CREATING A SAFE HAVEN FOR PEOPLE WITH PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS…SPECIFICALLY CHILDREN AND THE ELDERLY THAT OTHERWISE WOULD BE DENIED OR REVOKED COVERAGE AND TURNED AWAY BY PRIVATE AND PUBLIC HOSPITALS…

    That is part of what the bill is doing, that is not the problem, it is what you have to give up to gain that. There is no need for this overhaul to gain what you mentioned in your blog.
