And so you should be ,dang shame they are republicans  
They are republicans arent they ?

Mick -

You're darn right they are Republicans.  My son-in-law's Dem opponent played really nasty, and it backfired on him

Probably in about two weeks he will get sued by another office holder about who he actually told lies that the guy was a child molester, which is totally not true.  This a$$hole was so desparate, he just tried anything to discredit any current R office holder.

I did see you car under the Clay thread- really gorgeous.

Kudos!

Mick -

I wish it were that easy.  Remember, Dems still control the Senate.

I don't see a repeal of the Health Bill.  I do see some fine tuning.  Any bill that big has unforeseen problems in it that need refinement.

For instance, the requirement that each employer cover its employees makes no provision for someone like me and my little operations.  I have two employees who are covered on their spouses' insurance, which the spouses' employers provide.

As the law now stands, when it goes into effect, each person's employer will have to cover that person - so I'll have to cover my employee, the spouses will be covered by their employers.

Sounds OK, but in reality, it increases the premium totals that both employers pay.  That sure makes no sense.

The bill is riddled with little problems like that one, since it was rushed into place so fast, the Dems didn't sit back and think, and read carefully what they were proposing.  Many Congressmen admitted that they never read the whole bill.  That bill should have been debated over a couple of years - it was too massive to be rushed thru.  Then, those little problems could have been identified and fixed before the bill was passed.

Jerry ,the one and only SIMPLE  SOLUSION is the single payer system like they have in the UK and Europe, have no dealings with insurance company's,put them out of the picture,all they want is money.
Uncle Sam is our insurer.
When Britain started the health plan every one was given a single peace of  paper , all your instructions were on it, "Pick your Doctor"
make an appountment ,go see him or her and register. need a hospital ? go to the nearest one . And that was about it.
Why in gods name do you guys have to complicate everything.
All you have to do to finance it is bring our troops home wars are not cheap. then every single person pays into the government ex amount of dollars for every one in your family, got a bunch of kids ,tough sh1t
you will pay more,you should have thought about that befor you became a cathlic.

Just had my open enrollment meeting today.
Guess what?  you can't opt out any more due to Obama Care.
We used to be able to pick the best insurance between me and my before she was ex and get a little extra to cover it.  Now you're forced to take company insurance.
