“to allay the fears”

I’m guessing that didn’t work so well!

...... because they believe you’re tooooooo stupid to comprehend the truth.

Glad we’re at least one or two steps ahead of these people.

Would it be possible to put the DIMocRAT politicians in prison...all of them?

Let's have O-Blamer address a joint session of Congress, then wall up the place while they're in there. That way we get the lyin' Repubs as well as all the Dems (no need to put the redundant adjective lyin' in from of Dems).

I think it was a C. S. Lewis quote that you are thinking of, but it certainly deserves to be repeated again and again and again:

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
― C.S. Lewis

ALL the effects of this bill are foreseen and therefore intended.

The Democrats perpetrated a massive fraud on the American people. Had we been able to "see what's in it" before it passed, it would have been D-E-A-D on arrival.

Bart Stupak and Olympia Snowe can burn in hell.

Yes it’s fraud.

They’ve perpetrated a fraud. Through deception they have passed a bill that requires all Americans to purchase a product that they don’t want.

NOT ONE REPUBLICAN VOTED FOR OBAMACARE.

This must be REPEALED.

What liberals don’t understand is what some people will do “for their own good.”They have no idea what chain of events they are putting into motion.

They lied to us for our own good?

Well, that was sweet of them.

The president and the dems knew people would lose their plans. The dems knew that Obama was publicly saying the contrary (i.e. LYING), yet they didn't speak up and they STILL voted for it, forcing it on their constituents.

I swear, if the republicans don't take this and beat the crap out of Obama and his sycophant dems with it all day, every day until the 2014 elections, I'll scream.

"I’ve heard from hundreds of my constituents who are seeing their premiums rise. They’re seeing their policies being canceled," Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Tuesday. "Many, again, are losing their plans."

Then why, Mr. Boehner, did you vote to fund ObamaCare?

That's what they profess.

But as usual with liberals it's exactly opposite of what they say.

They lied for their own good.

I think most leftists you’d talk to would excuse dishonesty in the pursuit of a “larger goal”.

My catastrophic health insurance qualifies for grandfathered status. I have had the policy for over 20 years and made the necessary changes through the years, with kids, then without kids etc.

The last change we made was upping the deductible to $7500 a year, but we apparently made that change before March 2010 when the bill was signed. Premium was at $426, then when our renewal came up this month, they said since we turned 60 this year it was going up $100.

If they disallow our policy next year and triple my premium I will pay the tax, no way will I ever log onto that website. So all the years being good citizens, being self insured, to protect our assets in the event of a catastrophic disease and a $100K bill will be gone with a stroke of a pen belonging to a Marxist.

So all these years having insurance and never using it, I am so healthy, now when I will need some medical treatment entering into my twilight years, I will loose everything we have built our whole lives, with one bout of cancer. And when I have to go in front of the death panels they will know I am a Christian and a registered R and I will be denied treatment for sure!

How many are going to die because of these human waste??

Yeah, it's going to happen all right. My question is what happens when some poor schlob who couldn't afford the four-fold increase in premiums loses his wife to some preventable illness that was not diagnosed in time because they didn't go to the doctor since they no longer had insurance? I know that if I placed the blame for that circumstance on a certain politician, my grief might overcome my better judgment. Not that I advocate such an action (hey, NSA), but with millions of people losing their health insurance, it only takes one to decide that freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose.
