While i'm all for a health care plan, I feel the one we got is complete crap compared to what we could've gotten had both sides not spent the entire time arguing over typface or lettering or some crap.

Still, I'm happy for those who'll benefit from this.  I just feel it could've been a lot more than it is.

It is only the beginning though - this will eventually be expanded to cover more and more as people realize the benefits (limited though they may be) and begin to do an honest comparison to the socialized medical programs around the world - my opinion only....
I want to be unique.....just like everybody else

The worse part is that the indivdual mandate was a republican idea from the get go, but apparently as soon as a center-right democrat touches it, it turns into EVIL SOCIALISM!!!
The best part is that the ONLY part opposed by a vast majority of the country is the individual mandate. Otherwise, the rest of the bill is quite popular.

Are people really this stupid? - http://www.buzzfeed.com/daves4/people-moving-to-canada-because-of-obamacare  Extremely long list from buzzfeed about people saying they are going to move to Canada since the ruling of Obamacare....do they not know that Canada's policies are more "socialist" than what we got here?  So much stupid.

Yay, I guess?? :-\  I'm still not a big fan of the individual mandate, and would of rather of seen a public opition instead, in case anyone is wondering, I'm thinking along the lines like the German Healthcare system. Maybe in time we'll get something like a public opition. Any way, I have to say it's fun seeing the teabaggers getting butt hurt over this.

This is exactly my attitude about this.

LMAO, Rand Paul's foot found his mouth and made my head explode in a giant WTF moment  ;D ;D ;D

Quote from: Rand Paul
Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be ‘constitutional’ does not make it so. The whole thing remains unconstitutional. While the court may have erroneously come to the conclusion that the law is allowable, it certainly does nothing to make this mandate or government takeover of our health care right.”
source

Does this guy understand that there is this part of the Constitution that mandates* what those 'couple' of people on the Supreme Court say be constitutional?

*for this occasion

Is he...is he retarded?  Did he eat lead paint as a child?  Is he aware that the only body in the entire country that can rule on the Constitutionality of any issue is the fucking SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES!? 

Ironbite-no really...is this man pants on head retarded

The truly important thing about the bill is its incessant ability to make fundies and conservatives froth at the mouth.

God Damn the Supreme Court of this land!!!
 
So many of us have put our faith in this, we thought, as the last bastion of American principles. This is the most revolting decision since the Dred Scot decision. This says to Obama that you can do anything that you want to this country and we (SCOTUS) will back you.

Nothing stupid is a joke in Freeperland. In Freeperland, ignorance and hate is a prerequisite to post on the site.

Now let the hate and tears continue:

Quote
The Washington elite, Romney, the Supremes...they do not fear conservatives. They must learn to fear us. They are afraid of the reaction of the left. They do not fear the response from the right. We talk. We write feckless invectives on FR. We do nothing. They do not fear conservatives. We bitch and moan and do nothing. We are chiefly posturers. And then we vote the in very man who inspired the Obamacare-Liberty Death law. We are not feared. We hire a president who gives Kennedy the duty to write the education bill and praise his compromise. We are not feared. Conservatives are not feared. Now Bush gives us Roberts who writes law from his bench...Arizona, now the entire country has had its liberty removed. Roberts does not fear conservatives. The threat from Politico a few days ago, it was heard, and and Roberts threw in with leftist. This leftist court does not fear Conservatives. They must learn to fear Conservatives. They must tremble...all of them from Bonher, McConnell, the Supremes, the left....all of them. Now, how are we gonna do that? It is not our nature to be adversarial, beyond just bitching about things. Voting does not seem to make an impression. How are we gonna effect change? -Texas Songwriter

Quote
In my 65 years of life I have been in shock three times.
 1. When Obama got elected.

 2. When Obamacare passed, even though our Senator promised to vote against it, then reneged, so we threw her out of office.

 3. When the SCOTUS upheld that travesty. -Ruy Dias de Bivar

Yep. Its now time for the NULLIFY MOVEMENT TO BEGIN.. Every state needs to simply NULLIFY this law within their borders. -HamiltonJay

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE YOU MOTHER F-----!!!! Don't you dare call me stupid. I did not vote for Romney in the Primaries and he was not my choice, but he is the friggin' hand we've been dealt. All we have to go on is his promise to repeal JudgeRobertsCare. We know the Marxist Muslim we currently have in the White House won't do it. Romney is our only hope. Do you have any suggestions for getting us out of this mess a**hole?

You sound awfully tensed up. You might want to talk to your old lady about giving it up for you tonight so you can relieve some of your pent up aggression. -pistolpackinpapa

In American history, June 28, 2012 is a day that will go down in infamy.

The nation may have just crossed the Rubicon between the Liberty for which it was founded and social and political hell.

Only the most massive citizen uprising since the revolution can set the record straight.

Quit complaining, quit sitting on the sidelines watching and get working in any and every way you can.

It's no longer up to the little dictators in judges robes, it's up to us. -Wuli

And, of course, this:

Wow I'm surprised this is only on page two.

Anyways, this is a good thing.  Many people who could not get insurance before will get much needed helping in getting it.
