By Katherine Hobson With all the hullabaloo over the health-care overhaul bill that passed almost six months ago, it’s hard to remember that most of the provisions haven’t even taken effect yet.

Let me get this straight. We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it, to be signed by a president who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke; administrated by people who want to emulate the worst aspects of socialized medicine programs in other countries (e.g. rationing and death panels)

What the hell could possibly go wrong?

Perfect summery.

Good reply. I posted this because September 23 is a milestone for our new health care like it or not.
