Try this: "H-Y-P-O-C-O-N-G-R-E-S-S." The hypocongress consists of those Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats who have risen up on their hind legs in recent weeks to snarl and howl at any mention of a government role in meeting America's health care needs. "Socialism," they bark -- we won't allow Barack Obama and the liberals to create a Washington-run, big-government intrusion into the hallowed private market. Sen. Jim DeMint, a South Carolina Republican, even pledged to fight so ferociously that the health care battle would be Obama's "Waterloo."
What a stand-up guy for free enterprise! What an ideologically correct appeal to laissez-faire principle! And, let me add, what a crock! http://www.truthout.org/1028095

NoBlueDog, can you tell me in your own words(not a post and paste) how Obamacare is going to help you? I have to admit that I haven't read all that there is about health care reform that is being voted on, but from what I have read of it, it going to cost me in the long run with no extra money in my pocket. I don't see it helping anybody that is on a min wage job(7.25) an hour to get coverage. I do see them having to pay out of their pocket for their premiums because those companies that don't provide it will just pay the penalty and still not provide insurance. Nothing is there that states an employer must provide free insurance(he can make employees pay for all of it, or opt out)
So please tell me what this plan is going to do to help out without criticizing those that oppose it. If you can do that, I will seriously look at it.
