[QUOTE="Star*, post: 350049, member: 4964"] Well as a person of border-line low income with poor health? I'm forced to pay out $438 a month in health insurance for myself ALONE. Had I not done some quick talking and negotiated THAT in lieu of a .50 raise when all the other men got their raises, and health insurance and benefits? I would be in the grave I'm sure. As far as all the hype and sky is falling? I'm with Flutter on that one. This entire thing whether you're an elephant or a donkey has really split our country and not brought us together. I am just so sick of all the uninformed people spouting off about how this is going to cost 94 trillion dollars and we'll never recover - that by the time this does come to fruition? I just chuckled at Mutt's comment - I too had to turn the TV off because I kept thinking I'm going to have a stroke before it's over and not reap the benefits of any program. As far as SC suing? OMG when I heard our State Atty. Henry McMaster was suing calling this unconstitutional and why he citied the reasons? I nearly turned in my party hat. Honestly. It occurs to me regardless of party - that our President has undertaken a job that NO ONE in their right mind would ever have said "OH YES, give this job to me I want to attempt to fix this mess." and there is absolutely no denying this country was and is in a horrible mess. We could sit and point fingers but to the best of his ability? I don't think he has. I see him trying to do his level best to improve things. For that? He has my respect. I don't always agree with his ideals, but I don't agree with everyone everyday. I don't know how to run a country? But ....when you're trying to clean up a mess? Sometimes you make a bigger mess before you actually get the place clean, and maybe that's what this is. I just wish someone would put that health care reform into simple terms and say - OKAY you over there with this problem.....THIS is your page - read it....this will happen.
