House to vote on health care reform Sunday.

[Brazen]

Welcome to the socialist paradise we've enjoyed since 1948

[Brazen]

Here's a short informational film that will help you cope with the transition. You're welcome.

I'm fairly confident it will end up being closer to 586 billion than to 674 skajillian.

Depends on the conversion rate of skajillians to real numbers.

When the dollar collapses as a real currency skajillians will be chump change.

Well at least it well help exports.

For the record, the "browning" poster seems dangerously close to a criminal threat or an incitement to violence.

Doesn't seem that close.  That seems well inside.  Both parties are equally guilty of this, BTW.

FINALLY. Socialism in America.

Ok, as the Big Government advocate, I will now oppress all of you by meddling in your lives and forcing you to have health insurance. To add insult to injury, I'll even subsidize the poorest, so that NOBODY escapes my dictums.

MWAHAHAHA.

Also, sez here in my "To Do" list that I have to kill your grandmas who are on Medicare.

Don't ask me why, it's what the list says. 

[Fate]

How long until this thing is repealed? 

[Strix]

This is historic!

It will make ALL Americans healthier, it will not only cost the government nothing in the long run, it will actually make money, and the Democrats get all the credit for making America a place worth living in again.

My state is a few billion in the red because it led the country with this thing.  Making healthcare available means more people will be going to use it.  For me this meant my rates went way up and what I get back in terms of health care went way, way down.

[DGuller]

Making healthcare available means more people will be going to use it.

That's always the danger when you try to make sure that people who need care get care.

Ya.  The people who set the thing up didn't take into account how much $$$ that would cost though.  I don't think Washington has done so either.

The bigger problem I have with it is that is is so divisive and so polarized that even if this plan was the best thing since sliced bread a large enough portion of the country is freaking out about it, implementation will never really happen properly.  Without a decent sized majority in government -state and federal and the country as a whole backing this the whole 'reform' thing will just totter along until the next election cycle kills it.

Coincidentally NRO has a 503 error the day after Healthcare gets passed.

For all you GOPtards:

Enjoy your Waterloo.

Aren't people freaking out a bit about this (on both sides)? From what I understand it is pretty much a bunch of minor tweaks making the system more civilized (stuff like the insurers being prohibited to deny health care insurance to people based on a pre-existing condition, so people who get an incurable disease and then lose their work are not suddenly left without any health insurance for example), rather than being some sort of a socialist overhaul (for example there is no public option).
