House Sends Health Care Bill To Obama's Desk

House Sends Health Care Bill To Obama's Desk President to sign reforms into law; 'fixes' still require House, Senate action

BREAKING

WASHINGTON - After well over a year of negotiations, setbacks, and political wrangling, the House has approved President Barack Obama’s top domestic policy initiative, sending a bill to massively overhaul the nation’s health insurance system to his desk to be signed and enacted into law.

The climactic chapter in a century-long quest for near universal coverage concludes with the House's 219-212 approval of a bill to extend coverage to 32 million Americans who lack it, ban insurers from denying coverage on the basis of pre-existing medical conditions and cut deficits by an estimated $138 billion over a decade.

Republicans voted unanimously against the bill, which they say constitutes a government takeover of the health care system, financed by a trillion dollars in higher taxes and Medicare cuts combined.

“The marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burdens unnecessarily laid upon them by their governments.”

All part of the replacement of God with the state. This whole deal was written down long before you or I or America were even here.

How much of this should be attributed to general Republican weakness in combatting the Dem’s agenda?

Last night Queen Botox was bragging about how bi-partisan the bill is.

Listen up everyone. This is not the end of America as we knew it. It is the beginning of the end for The Marxist Onada and his band of angry commies. It was inevitable we would get to this point in our history. All of us, and I mean all, sat there and watched this train coming for 50 years or more. The left took over the US Supreme Court, it coopted the media, it coopted our schools, it coopted labor unions, it coopted religious leadership and it coopted our financial institutions. Most of us did anything but whine—including me.

Now its time to stop whining and do something. The good news is that the Marxist beast has finally come out from behind its shroud to be seen for the ugly thing it is. There is no excuse for not recognizing it for what it is. The good news is that there is now a national vehicle in place to channel our rage. It’s called the Tea Party Movement. The good news is that we have one or two viable conservative candidates we can turn to for leadership. Personally, I’m putting my money on Sarah Palin. She’s the only person who has a genuine conservative record. She took on her own party and the demrats in Alaska and won. She owes no group anything. And most importantly, she will fight.

All that aside just what are you and I prepared to do to take back our country? How many of us, for example, actually attended a Tea Party? How many of us wrote a check for at least one truly conservative candidate anywhere. How many of us actually took a little of our prescious time to email or call our congress critters. And how many of us are prepared to do what ever it takes to reclaim our country? How many of us have the guts to do the unthinkable and stand up to a government that is broken and no longer represents us—just like the Patriots did against the British Monarchy?

Taking America back is not gonna happen if we choose to sit in front of the TV watching reality shows. Nor is it gonna happen if we don’t reclaim our schools at the local level. If we don’t fix that in a hurry our kids will continue to be propagandized and formed into succeeding generations of Marxists.

I was praying this morning about it and felt that God reminded me that even He has His limits, just like with Sodom and Gomorrah. There comes a time where He must act.

So, I’m praying that if these things must come to pass because of the end times, that there’d be that massive grassroots revival and He would use me to be part of it.

>> what an embarrassement to be an American today

Not if you’re Conservative.

This is an extreme partisan bill that is rejected by a majority of Americans. The politicians are out of control and it will be recorded as such.

“everyone knows” this president has no legal authority to sign the bill.


“Everyone knows” is far too big a generalization. Most do not “know.” SOME know.

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!

MAY GOD BE MIGHTILY WITH ALL WHO LOVE HIM SINCERELY.

May He raise up a standard against this evil quickly and mightily.

MAY HE MAKE an emphatic reply, an emphatic statement to and in Wash DC . . . and in the lives of every hideous traitor and National political worker of iniquity.

Thanks for your kind post and link.

Adulation of the Dear Leader in the media will reach astronomical levels. Past butt kissing will pale in comparison.

Am I missing something, or doesn’t this need to go to the full Senate for a vote first? This isn’t the same bill that went through the first time, right?

Chrissy Matthews, who makes no secret of his wanting to be Obama`s boy toy, will be ejaculating all over himself on tv about this.
