The new party of no?

[rockon]

Harry Reid has no intention of letting the newly elected senate vote on health care repeal. It's amazing how things can change in a year. Now he has earned the title of "party of no"
How many people here will be able to keep their same health insurance policy? We already received a letter stating that our policy will be changing to reflect the new mandates along with a substantial price increase. So Obama's promise that if we like our current policy we can keep it has already been broken for us.

...yeah... when you're running a marathon, and a pebble gets into your shoe, it's not a good idea to take the time to remove it...

U.S. POLITICAL RISKS


WHAT TO WATCH:
Fights are shaping up over spending as
funding for government operations runs out
in February, giving conservative Republicans
backed by the Tea Party movement the
chance to make cuts. They plan to hold back
cash for programs like implementation of
Obama’s healthcare reform, highway funds,
national parks and scienti!c research. This
will be resisted by the Democrat-controlled
Senate.
Republicans will try to chip away at
Obama’s healthcare plan but the best chance
of overturning it may be in the courts. There
are a series of legal challenges to the reform,
one of which might end up in the Supreme
Court toward the end of 2011.
The stock market is traditionally no big
fan of political gridlock. On average, the
S&P 500 index rises only two percent a year
when the president’s party controls only one
of the chambers in Congress, according to
Standard & Poor’s Equity Research.

Losing my health insurance and spending a trillion dollars of borrowed money doesn't seem like a pebble in the shoe to me. And it's not something we should move on from.

I clearly remember hearing from lots of employers saying that, even with the fines, it would save companies money to their insurance coverage, or to not implement it, and let the people go on Obamacare. That is, of course, the companies that could afford to pay the fines. The ones that can't, and the tax incentives to them don't cover the cost of the insurance they will have to buy for employees.. what happens to them?? Shut the doors?
No, Reid does not want to vote. Too many Dems dropping out or up for re-election that may flip on this, which would it on Obama, who will not look good vetoing what the people want so close to an election.
About half of the country has jumped in to the lawsuit now, and growing. It will be very hard for the gov't to ignore if it keeps growing.
I think most people like many things in the bill. The problem is-- this administration is very sneaky, they have proved to us that they lie and will do anything to get what they want. The bill is too big, too much hidden stuff. Why, just yesterday I heard about the loophole in the bill that will allow tax payer funded abortions. The majority spoke on that. We said NO. Just like we said NO to cap and trade, and they are doing it anyway, through the EPA. When people lie and cheat, trust is broken. The majority does not trust this bill, and wants to start over, or go page by page and make major changes. They need to listen to the people that pay their salaries if they want to keep their jobs. No, Ol' Harry does not want a vote on this, not this close to elections.

Yes the trust has been broken and that seems to be what some have difficulty accepting. This huge bill was shoved down our throats in a midnight raid on our rights with little or no regard to the long term affects or how it would be implemented. Already working people like myself are feeling the results. The affordable major medical plan we have bought for years is now eliminated because of the restrictions mandated by this bill. In essence now everyone will have to pay for a "Cadillac plan" and the ones who get the benefit will the insurance companies again.

The [111th Congress] already voted on this issue, and passed it. It is time to move on [to the 112th].

Fixed.
