The SOB promised he wouldnt tax health care benefits during the campaign.

He lied. That's normal for his ilk.

“He has to get it passed first,
good luck with that with 2010 approaching.”

That is exactly why he says he has do “do it now”.

Don’t forget “old” people — Obama ran ads here in AZ around the clock saying McCain was going to take away their medicare... who is the one wanting to screw with medicare and make it so doctors will have to get the won’s permission to give them life-saving treatment...

and when you think about it, the voters who will not have a clue about how bad this tax is -- or much else Obama is doing re taxes are the category he can count on to vote for him next time around:

College students who have not worked yet and don't know or care about having health insurance and

people on welfare and medicaid who will not care until they find out they can't eat their twinkies any longer because they are over weight and don't fit with the Won's arugula paradigm of no sweets or sodium in their diet... and when the cost of their beer and soda go up to help pay for the health care they have been getting free up till now.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I don’t believe something just because you say it. :)

Yeah, the 25% taxing aspect is bad enough (what other benefit or commodity is taxed at 25%???!!) Atlas Shrugged!!

However, to me it is the social control aspect of this new “plan” that is truly frightening!! So with the proceeds from this new “fair” tax (how the he** anyone thinks 25% is fair?!) on our medical benefits

1. We will be funding Partial-Birth abortions because the administrations thinks it is ok to kill unwanted babies—even AFTER they are born. Try explaining that to God...

2. Yet we will be rationing health care to various groups—giving and taking away procedures and medication based on current trends, politics and political correctness.

Even Canada is starting to look very good to me now unless people (including some FREEPERS) get a CLUE before it is too late!

Think I am too alarmist, too shrill?

Let me say it again, CANADA IS STARTING TO LOOK VERY GOOD TO ME NOW UNLESS PEOPLE (INCLUDING SOME FREEPERS) GET A CLUE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

You’re preaching to the choir in me... I can’t believe some of the comments that comes out of what is deemed a conservative site when it comes to subjects like healthcare.

I know, I am just hoping that someone who is not on same page will have an epiphany, get a clue, connect the dots, etc.

I mean, look at how the administration just treated the Chrysler dealerships?! They reward those who made political contributions to dems and specifically the occupant, and punish the dealerships who did not by closing them down.

—that is the future of our healthcare right there, tho we will be standing in line at the DMV or post office to get it.

I guess the thinking of some runs along the lines that “Misery loves company and by golly if I can’t have health care benefits, than neither can you.”

So I guess if no one complains, we will all have the opportunity to sacrifice for “hope and change” collectively—kinda reminds me of something—oh yeah, that would be rather oppressive SOCIALISM imposed by communist/marxist regimes like Cuba, China or USSR.

Check the latest Rassmussen poll (today) said American’s are now split on healthcare and want O to concentrate of getting spending under control more than they want him to push healthcare. Conservatives need to look at Romneycare for a glimpse into American-mandated healthcare.

Thanks, I will look that up. It is rather amazing to me that after he spent an astronomical 11 TRILLION (and he admits we are broke and Chinese are publicly laughing), only 50% want him to get spending under control...well it is a start...

Not that we are going to have a choice, but what do you think of Romneycare?
