Law or right... it won't matter. After this historic vote everybody will have the right to quality health care. Thank God Obama won and the Dems are in control. It's gonna be fun watching all those Repubs' heads explode in unison. :mrgreen:

No, even after the law passes, there still won't be a right to health care. You'll just have the ability to have the health care the government allows you to have. And keep in mind, this "right" as you call it could be repealed with a simple vote in Congress.

Yeah, **** the Constitution. Who needs that when the President can just find 217 idiots in Congress to vote around it?

Partisan fanboys like you should be paying for this monstrosity and leave us out of it.
 
I just voted "No." on the poll question.

As I believe the debate is over, and I haven't seen any of it, I can safely say that I will not be "Watching the Health Care Reform Debate on Sunday".

I think we all know that this will never be repealed. It will be embraced as tightly as SS and Medicare. That's why the Repubs fought so hard and so dirty to try to keep this from happening. The Dems did to them what they have perfected into a fine art. Hopefully, now the Dems will take the reins and use their power, while they have it, to do what is right.

You're probably right, because ignorant people like you will be screeching about losing a "right" if anyone dare ever propose this legislation be appealed.

The Dems have all but squandered whatever power they received from the 2008 election. I think you may be a very unhappy person come next January when the next Congress is seated.

Ahh, you're mad. It'll pass. I don't know what you've been watching but, the Dems have followed the Constitution, the rules of the House of Representatives and the Senate throughout all of this. All that right wing rhetoric and lies about Armagedon and the sky falling on top of us will soon be seen by the entire country as the bull**** it is. Then when all those people see how this bill effects them immediately they will vote Democratic in November. It's gonna be cool. :cool:

You and the rest of Congress have been wiping your asses with the Constitution. Don't try to blow smoke and tell me that anything about this bill is Constitutional. You can't even point to the provision of the Constitution that would allow for this sort of tripe, and the General Welfare Clause (go look it up) isn't it. Just admit that it is unconstitutional as hell, you want a new entitlement and you want to retain the government, and save the rest of the bull**** for someone who is too dumb to know any better.

Nut up and report it then.
 
So what I have learned so far is that either the bill will solve every problem in the world, or it will be the end of the United States. Got to love people who think rhetoric is debate.
 
Personally, I think we've heard a wide range of views and that's what the People's House should be. I am grateful for that.

Hey I try to be rational about it.

No one likes rational though, it doesn't make headlines.

Are you watching some other Congress pass some other bill? The bill that's being enacted in my world would leave 22 million uninsured. That doesn't really sound like it creates a "right to healthcare" to me, but hey, I could be wrong.

According to the CBO:

Number of uninsured under the status quo by the end of 2010: 50m
Number of uninsured under the Dems bill by the end of 2010: 50m

Number of uninsured under the status quo by the end of 2012: 51m
Number of uninsured under the Dems bill by the end of 2012: 50m

If you think the passage of this bill is going to result in some momentous flood of health care coverage for the downtrodden, you don't understand the most basic elements of how the bill work.
 
Speaker Pelosi, my representative, is on her way to the House floor. We are close to the vote now.

Ignorant? Does calling people names after your team loses always make you feel better?

I would think that most of the right leaning people in the country believe that Health Care reform is now here to stay. I'd even hazard a guess that RightinNYC will agree with this.

The Dems have all but squandered whatever power they received from the 2008 election. I think you may be a very unhappy person come next January when the next Congress is seated.

Actually, this WIN will probably add to, or even multiply, their power. The majority of the country will want to thank the Dems for their persistence in getting this bill passed.

Could the Dems loose seats? Sure. It's the off year elections and that is normal. But, it doesn't always happen. Obama has fulfilled his #1 campaign promise and that will carry a lot of weight for his party in November.

Even if the Repubs win both houses, the country would never allow them to repeal this bill. Watch and learn.

That's because the people who support it, likely haven't read a lick of it. And if they have, they lack understanding about insurance, and health care on a basic level, or how reimbursements to healthcare facilities are structured either on a government or private insurance basis. They likely just heard "health care reform" and have assumed that congress was making sure everyone was insured. Oops :ssst:
 
Finally someone remembers the Constitution. Props to Rep. Garrett.
 
Thank God Sheila Jackson-Lee won't speak. I can't stand that bitch.
 
I'm disgusted by our government but moreso by the lemmings who support this bill. You parasites. You worthless gutless parasites. All my plans are done. Why would I want to become a doctor now? This country is full of parasites....

True enough. This is a huge beginning. Eventually this will include everyone. And I suspect you know that.

I know. You're the only one here who understands anything. I do appreciate you allowing us mere mortals to play along with you. :roll: This will be a huge success and Americans will demand the coverage on this be expanded. And it will. You'll see.

This is why most of us think Libertarians are nuts. You guys think you are the only ones who understand the constitution.
