Re: Read this very carefully


That's the key, passing it and getting control of it. Once they have control of it, they can do with it whatever they want. Universal healthcare is something so large that it requires overwhelming bipartisan support, and an overwhelming support by an overwhelming majority of the people. This affects everyone on the same level as a Constitutional Amendment, and needs to have that level of support. Instead, the Democrats are trying to ram a partisan bill down our throats by using misrepresentation and outright lies being passed off as "facts". It would be different if the bill had actual details of how things will operate and how things will be implemented, but it doesn't. It has broad goals and statements about more patient choice, but it also allows for the government to dictate the when, why, how and who of it just the same. It's no wonder that Obama's healthcare polling numbers have quickly fallen from the high 80's to the current 39%. This is something that needs to have a bunch of people sit down and over a couple of years (instead of the couple of weeks it took) hammer out a decent bill, and then have at least 2/3 of the States ratify it.

What happens if a big asteroid hits the Earth?
Judging from exhaustive and repeated realistic simulations
involving a sledge hammer and a common frog,
we can assume it will be pretty bad.
