Re: Wow, what a turn around in a few days!
Healthcare reform is a great idea. Obamacare was not healthcare reform. It was Nationalized healthcare. Forcing anyone who is successful in life to surrender their earnings to give free healthcare to others.
No thank you.

Re: Wow, what a turn around in a few days!
REAL healthcare reform:
A) TORT reform
B) Vastly expanded medical savings account options WITHOUT the "use it or lose it" millstone.
1) The ability for people to voluntary LINK their health savings accounts to others who they wish to help -this would create small family and friend networks entirely controlled by the owners of the accounts.
2) A promise that 100% of their health account balance will be transferred to the account balance they leave it to upon their demise.
C) The use of standard insurance for only high deductible catastrophic type coverage.
Today, if car insurance was like medical, people would expect a co-pay from their insurance every time they put gas in the car, washed it, or got a ticket. Being insulated by the real costs of services, gas would cost 20-30 bucks a gallon, oil changes $200, and repairs 10x's more then they are in real life. Thus you could no longer afford to NOT have insurance (which would also cost 10x what it does today.)

Re: Wow, what a turn around in a few days!
Lets EVERYONE pray daily, nightly, at all times...for our nation.
And that Obamacare NEVER ever happens during his term and any that
follow. I am tired of us losing rights little by little its time to seek HIS face
that HE may intercede for our nation, yet again, as HE is faithful.
It starts with YOU!

Re: Wow, what a turn around in a few days!
I pray for Obama and our law makers daily. I pray for his and his family's safety and for our law makers who stand for the right to be strengthened. I also pray that Obama and those law makers who push their evil agenda will be absolutely miserable and frustrated and all their plans will fail. It seems to be working.

That's the problem with politics. Harldy anyone has the intestinal fortitude to follow through with their good ideas, whenever they actually have a good idea.
Immigration Reform-- dead.
Healthcare Reform-- dead.
I say again, "... most Americans want things to change and injustices to be corrected, but not at their own personal expense."
It's like wanting God to manifest Himself in your church services, but refusing to fast and pray.
We have become so apathetic, all the way around.

Fasting and praying is not an expense, let alone a long term expense
