Regardless, it’s still the law. What get’s me is how the right cries because they don’t want to buy insurance. However, these lames would be first in line at the emergency room after a serious accident or sickness. Then they wouldn’t have the money to pay for their services and of course they would the dead beats they claim to hate.

The repeal idea shows how short sighted the right is.

Steve: re-read. The score is 2 to 2. Two federal courts have agreed, two have disagreed. You hardly speak for all Americans.

And it goes to the Supreme Court...where everyone knew it would end up anyway.

The clock ticks, people get more attached to the fair insurance practices that are part of the bill, it continues to get more popular...and the GOPTP becomes more intent on snatching that away from the American people.

Regardless of which side you are on, we really should all be on the side of competence. Severability clauses are a simple matter of routine, inserted in all contracts and agreements.

So does anyone have any explanation as to why the drafters of the bill did not include what is very basic, boiler-plate language? We are talking about a paqragraph or two. It ain't like they ran out of space.

They intended for it to be an all or nothing proposition. Does SCOTUS really want to aggravate 30 million desperate Americans?

So far 2 Judges have ruled for and 2 have ruled against the individual mandate plus another 12 cases have been thrown out.

And just why did 25 other states join Florida in that court – couldn’t possibly be that it was their best chance of a positive outcome.

What the GOP/TP fails to remember that other landmark laws were also shot down in the lower courts only to be upheld by SCOTUS.

job1 - you might want to rethink "it is still the law" The regulators haven't wrote all the regs yet so how is the court system to "judge" if a violation has occurred. Then you have to consider the different dates of implimentation. It will be 2014 for what I am interested in to happen. And many have said that without the mandate it isn't likely going to happen.

Steve-505729

the question is . Why did the Democrats waste all that time on a Bill that is UNCONSTITUIONAL. why did the . SO CALLED constittonall LAWYER in the White HOUSE sign a Bill that userps the Constitutional Rights of Americans.

Do you have something against question marks????

"It was once said that the moral test of Government is how that Government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped,"

Still think your funny, Laughing Boy? Get a clue we need to fix this mess we call a health care system not repeal it.

The popping sound you'll being hearing is the sound it makes when your head clears, that is if it ever does. It's probably lodge way up there.

A few problems with this bill:

It is not reform but mandatory insurance and the bureaucracy grows.

Unions were given an exemption creating favored (unconstitional) status.

Americans resent the way it was crammed down our throats.

Steve my boy. what did you expect a florida judge appointed by Reagen to come up with on a descision. It was last year when GOP got up in the air over a judge making a desicison that knocked down a law they wanted. Thier excact comment then was that the courts shouldnt make the laws, thats the job of law makers. If this judges decision was to hold then in effect a person shouldnt have to pay into SS. I think what your seeing here is the vast lobby money from the insurance groups taking effect. To think that 55 pecent of the people do want the health care law to stand is a joke is off base. Its going to bury the GOP for good if they continue to focus on this health care law. Jobs and such was a big election promise the GOP boys ran on during the election. I dont see them saying or doing anything about the problem. I must say its so easy to sit and tell americans they are going to do all this good for us. They never once have put up solutions to the real problems we face. Only to drag they feet whine like a crying 2 year old that doesnt get its way. I hope the GOP nut jobs just keep up same ol, same ol. Then they we fianailly bury themselves in there own human waste. To think that their platforms serve the American voters needs is a total farse. What have and will do untill they self distruct will to pander to needs of good ol white boys and the rich. I do believe the poor folks and other creeds of races are growing everyday and the balnace of the votes swing there way. It really sucks to watch this go down.

Fail

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah.........so stupid.

GO Tea Bag Party! GO GOP, and support them COMPLETELY!! Get those numbers up to 100%!!!

YES! you CAN!!

Feisty, Yes I just want to know how many times the crazy they are spiking has been cut. The purer the crazy the better! Full on crazy would be eyeopening.

Game, set, match...

ron, you do mean bipartisan positions, right?

Amy we should totally have a race. I live in California where our state gov is nearly totally controlled by the democrats. In fact the Sierra Club and Wave Rider Foundations control neary all of the enviromental laws - which is why we are so lucky and have a Cap and Trade system in place. It's so stupid, the nut jobs have imposed regulations mandating solar and wind but when they tried to put a giant solar field in the desert outside of San Diego, other enviromentalists sue to prevent the transmission lines from being installed. So no solar.

Oh and our hospitals are literally overrun with illegals. I could go on with all the upsides and great laws around here, but we all get the news.

So let's see which of our great states hits the skids first, shall we? I've got California and its crazy assed liberals and enviromentalists and you apparently have whack job repulicans and tea partiers.

So, who you think is gonna win?

Spanky, it is so hard to get people on the same page isn't it. Here in Iowa we have been installing wind farms about as fast as can be. We can install the transmission lines in Iowa but when we want to sell our excess power to points out of the state, few or none of the states that will benefit from our excess wants to help pay to get the excess.

Our form of government is great at throwing taxpayer dollars away thru duplication of effort between federal and state agencies but they can't seem to understand what a co-ordinated plan can accomplish or that such a plan would decrease the size of the federal government and the burden on the private sector taxpayers.

Here the plan was totally coordinated at all buracratic levels. Unfortunately, the enviromentalists are at war amongst themselves, over their own plan.

Good news is the whole thing will end up getting scrapped. Bad news is we have AB32 and our energy costs will "necessarily sky-rocket." But that's going to happen anyway. We need to build nuke plants now, but around here, and even after 10 years of litigation, we can't even build a de-salization plant, because it MIGHT efffect the wet-lands. Never mind we have no water.

liberals are great at regulating all the jobs away

And hey, we should end social security and medicare. How dare the government mandate that I pay for my 80 year old mother to live and be healthy. She's done her time, let her take care of herself. Why should I have to pay for her ? Why should the young and healthy have to pay for the old, children or the infirm ? OH, BTW, shut down those air traffic controllers, immediately. They weren't in the constitution, so get rid of 'em. And the EPA, who needs to breath or drink clean water. Also, wipe out the FDA, I happen to like the taste of salmonella in my meat, thank you very much.

dirp101 - you wouldn't have had to concern yourself about paying for your mom if the politicians had left SS as it was originally indended. Haven't met a politician yet who couldn't leave a pile of cash alone or to look only as far as the next re-election date. Same is probably true about medicare when they removed 500 billion in hopes that someone would come along and fix its waste and fraud so the 500 billion wouldn't be missed.

The Democrats love having the Tea Party as the front and center part of the GOP. There would be nothing better for the Dems than a Palin/Bachman ticket for 2012. Of course the Democrats want the GOP to consider the Tea Party's ideas.

If Hillary can be Secretary of State....anybody can be anything.
