    All lives will come to an end. Obamacare will prolong the life of many and make the freeloaders get insurance. Conservatives don't like it because they feel only the rich deserve care, and they feel they shouldn't have to stand in lines to get the care they feel only those with deep pockets deserve.

    People with HIV will now have the medications they need to live longer than 10 years.

    Nope, just the opposite!! Obamacare is unconstitutional, must not be enforced and shouldn't be obeyed!

    Hardly.
    When you consider what had to be put in the bill to buy votes, no. Most of the bill contains items that have nothing to do with care for Americans.

    Lesser of two evils I suppose, so I do support socialized medicine. Just wish we could have gotten that public option. Shame......

    Well, there's always Italy, or Spain, or Greece, or Portugal... oh nevermind. Their socialist healthcare has already bankrupted them, may as well just move to Canada!

    Yes because in all three of those countries they fell apart ONLY because they have socialized medicine. Right...........

    Maybe.

    It will provide basic coverage to millions currently without. I'd assume that regular check-ups and the ability to pay for daily therapy drugs (things like Lipitor, or Glumetza) would help those individuals live longer, and perhaps more importantly, avoid hospitalization for going untreated. This actually ends up costing the public more, in the long run: people who go without treatment and end up exacerbating simple conditions, ending in expensive hospitalization. I expect to see improvement in this area.

    But we shouldn't expect miracles. People will still suffer from health problems. Spending money on public healthcare for daily therapies and check-ups, though, should help ease the strain caused by emergency and hospitalization spending. And, more importantly, people who remain on their daily therapies without skipping doses or stopping therapy (which happens due to monetary concerns more often than you might think) will live with less health related complications.

    And save on tax dollars .. paying for people health care too .... everyone that can afford health coverage should have it .. not just the working people .... but the wealthy too they live here ... but always want to leave the country for health care ... HUMMM ... and pay cash .. no get some health coverage ...

    Facts, bama is taking millions from medicare to pay for bamacare. Medicare patients will be hard pressed to get good coverage.
    When you sell your home, it will be taxed accordingly to pay for bamacare. If you don't get insurance, they can put you in jail. There's so much more in the 2500 page document that you just don't know about.
  • concerned rightside 2012/05/24 21:37:39

    even if they put you in jail ... which is not true .. you will receive health care at the tax payers cost ... But it is only a fine ... so you can either pay up front or pay later ... either way the tax payers .. are off the hook .. and medicare will stay strong with .. Obama in office... He close the donut whole Bush left behind .. so get your fats straight ... better to pay for health coverage .. than to keep supplying the wealthy with tax cuts ... it will cost the tax payers less over time .. and more lives will be saved ...What plan do the republicans have in mind .. haven't heard one yet ... and our health care as been in need of reform for many years .. and yet the republicans complain .. but come up with air .. hUMMM

    Did you hear puklosi? She would not say, she kept avoiding the question. Yes, its in the bill, about jail.
  • concerned rightside 2012/06/09 03:37:15

    NO you will not go to jail ... plus Obama care will start a plan for mothers with low income to be able to afford health care for their families .. instead of just getting free Medicaid which is a good thing .. affordable health care for low income families sounds good .. but the insurance companies are mad about it ..

    No, that's not the point. The point of "Obamacare" is to provide coverage for as many Americans as possible, not to provide miracles.

    Not millions, but it will save enough, and reduce the suffering of many, so as to more than justify its enactment. Now it just needs a 'Public Option'.

    Depends on how old you are and what you can do for the Liberal eutopian society they are trying to build.
