      A company that denies life saving treatments to people purely for a profit motive is a "demon".

      Insurance companies "sometimes" deny coverage! You people are hilarious! Now that we've won, I'm gonna laugh at you idiots and then laugh some more. You are L-O-S-E-R-S!

      Oh, and good luck building a revolution on the backs of uneducated, elderly racists. I'm sure they speak for a lot of people. <sarcasm>

      So, they've decided to go with "everything was fine just the way it was." Sounds like a solid plan.

      FIRST OF ALL CONGRAULATION TO PRESIDENT OBAMA.
      The hell with Hannity, Fox News, Republicans and conservatives:

      These people have absolutely no interest or concerned for the millions of people who can now get affordable healthcare insurance coverage thanks to a government 'of the people', 'for the people' and 'by the people'.
      How do Republicans and critics reconcile that this will not be lost on those who benefit? We are talking about millions of potential voters.
      As we speak, most hypocritical white pundits are STILL criticizing, attacking and focusing on what may or may not happen to Democrats politically in November's election. In fact, they completely ignore the millions of people who will be affected by the historical legislation, nor do they pay tribute to the president's huge achievement on behalf of the American people. This means nothing to these losers.
      Cynicism, HATE and lying is all that is left with the Party of no, conservative pundits and conservatives in general. Now that Healthcare has passed we should insist Rush Limbaugh make good on his threat to leave the country.

        Do you guys ever stop and think WHY insurance premiums go up?

        You do realize that premiums will go up even MORE now?

        We lost a lot of freedom last night. When the government controls our health, they control US. This bill is the first step towards single-payer.....something that has NEVER worked ANYWHERE.

          To assist in making Bentley/ mortgage payments for CEOs.

          We lost a lot of freedom last night.

          Yeeah right, we lost the freedom to be dropped from our insurance. We lost the freedom to to be denied coverage because of preexisting conditions (read C SECTION and ABUSE HISTORY for women).
          We lost the right to deny children insurance.

          When the government controls our health, they control US.

          There is no single payer, there is no public option. . .
          WTF are you screaming about? Your daddy an insurance exec or something?

          Single payer never worked anywhere? Really? Might want to rethink that statement. There are plenty of single payer health care systems that work, including one right here in the US. Does Medicare ring a bell? Sure, it has some funding issues, but ask anyone who has Medicare if it works. They will overwhelmingly answer "yes". While you're at it, ask the British if they'd like to move to a US-style health care system and away from their SINGLE PAYER system. Or the Canadians. Or the Australians, or the Taiwanese...

          Sure do. Doesn't seem to make any sense, since the insurance companies seem to be pretty profitable. Premiums go up because insurance companies are greedy. Their shareholders are greedy, and their executives are greedy. That's pretty much it... no other reason.

      Maybe Bobby Jindal can exorcise them and cast the demons out.
