Well wishes and best of luck. Pass this bill on Sunday and make history.

It aint perfect. Far from it. But it's a start.

Let's help hand Obama a victory for change.

Pass it. Do it. Get it done.
Go get em Dems!

1. This is a big mistake.
I hope and pray that we're pulled back from the breech.

Passing this bill will ruin our party for years to come. :(

5. I share your opinion. I am horrified with what's probably about to happen.
Can you imagine how much the Republicans are going to relish the next few election cycles?

They'll be able to run against this travesty with ease and win.

I can already imagine the commercials they'll be able to run. I just can't believe that this crap is about to pass and the REPUBLICANS get to run against it.

I'm stunned.

P.S. It should go without saying that I would LOVE to be wrong.
The next few years will be telling. I just don't feel this legislation is a win for progressives and liberals. It is a massive win for the insurance companies though. Hopefully a few people will benefit from this while even though the majority of us will continue to be fleeced for a junk product.

Mandates for private citizens to give money to for profit vultures! And they also get our tax dollars too! Wow.

2. wow, this is unexpected
I agree with you by the way.

Kinda surprised, if I recall correctly you were very much against the bill in the past.

3. Why am I reminded of
an anti-nuclear war cartoon from the sixties with a barren landscape and a few mushroom clouds in the background. A hand is poking a sign up out of a hole in the ground. The sign says "We Won".

Yes, we win a political victory, but with a really bad bill.
