Ummm, screw the constitution’s 10th amendment, screw the left vs right debate …. this is about LIFE!! If we used the 10th amendment to justify everything, how about we opt out of paying federal taxes!! Or receiving federal Medicaid funding at all, therefore NOONE GETS IT? It’s too expensive right, so it’d only be fair if no-one got it. Umm, NO! Because G-MA,

THERE IS NO VALUE THAT CAN BE PUT ON LIFE!! People are so selfish. Tell Sonny to add on an extra penny to the sales tax & get over it!

I know who will pay for this ObamaCare — all of us State employees who are already paying with furlough days. The State is cutting everywhere it can and then the Democrats add this for State employees to fund with their paychecks. I don’t like the idea of my paycheck being cut to fund healthcare, but where else is it going to come from? I just hope I can retire when I’m eligible. But then the Democrats will probably want to cut our retirement benefits in order to pay for it. I just can’t win.

Rachel, the bill was $5000 because you had insurance. The hospital reams the insurance company to offset the cost of treating all those people in the emergency room that don’t have insurance because the FedGov says they have to treat them, but provides no money for it, so they get the money where they can….your insurance company, hence, the $20 Tylenol.

Obamacare is just another welfare program for the same class of loafers that every other program is for (and the AJC’s core reader group, the gimme gimme crowd), nothing more. Certain Cynthia Tuckers never seem to mention that the ObamaCare taxes start immediately, but there are no benefits “paid” for 4 years! You mark my words, by the time ObamaCare kicks in, the Democrats in congress will have spent that money on something else and surely equally ridiculous, and ObamaCare will START in the red, and they will want to raise taxes again for “the poor”.

“The poor” are getting tiresome. Maybe just once, the “poor” can get off their butts and do something productive. You can’t even get them to pick up trash or clean up in their “communities” in exchange for their benefits, they refuse because they have no pride, because they don’t own anything or earn anything, and many of them have never earned anything in their entire lives, it is always given to them with nothing given in exchange. It will be bad for them soon, there is no more juice that can be squeezed from the taxpayer turnip.

I’m sure they will blame racism when it happens.

Has anyone noticed how the democrats like to imply that if you don’t go along with their idea of healthcare reform, then you must be against reform? They try to portray those with different opinions as someone who doesn’t believe healthcare should be for for everyone. It’s funny to me how their plans would result in 96% coverage for all (including illegal aliens). When did 96% coverage equate to healthcare for ALL? It must be that fuzzy math again.

- People like Fix-it need to fix themselves first.
Get their OWN house in order before they criticize
others (with so much bias it’s like a comedy routine).
No partisanship here. Just quick and absolute
judgement.

Dearie, I’m humbled by your statement.

Gregg, the Government is not the Government.
The govt that “patrol your neighborhood…run into your house when it is on fire…” is our state & local govts. It’s the FEDERAL govt. that’s the prostitute. This is the whole point. We want our state & local govts to continue the great jobs they do & more power given to them & more power taken from DC, as outlined in the Constitution.
You said the fed govt makes “corporations stop taking advantage of you.” What the fed govt did was use your tax $ to bail out at least 20 large corporations that had failed, many of which congress members had stakes in. It’s corporate cronyism. One company bailed out was AIG which in turn bailed out other companies with your tax $. The fed govt decided who the winners & losers were. They decided that big corporations were more important than small businesses which employ over 70% of Americans. They bailed out the unions rather than non-union employees. Cutting executive pay for a few top executives was a smoke screen. As a matter of fact, someone added a stipulation in the economic stimulus bill passed in Feb. that allowed those exorbitant executive bonuses. Sen Chris Dodd originally lied about it before he finally admitted he was aware of it but still denies adding it.
The fed govt is full of corruption, fraud & waste. Ever looked at debtclock.com? They spend ever dime they tax, borrow what they can’t tax & print what they can’t borrow. All the $ you’ve paid in social security & Medicare is gone.
Name one think the fed govt has done that was efficient & effective & that didn’t cost 5 to 10 times more than they estimated.

To MH Brown (12:35 pm), I would like to comment on the challenge you issed in your post ~ “This writer (Kyle) does not give us the points of reference, so his article is stupid, useless and unprofessional. Lastly, I have to say that I have had it with anyone who criticizes this plan without proposing an alternative. If you don’t have another idea, shut up!”.

Mr. Brown, I have yet to hear your response to Linda’s (1:39 pm) well thought out, logical alternatives that you challenges someone to produce. Linda’s postscript to you “P.S. We all have the same right to speak as you do.” was too gracious for me ~ I prefer ~ “Possibly you should be the one to “shut up”.

Keep up the good work Linda. I enjoy reading your posts.
