It doesn't matter anymore what the American consensus is the gov. is a separate entity from our states (very sad). This is an obvious and outright attempt for financial control and is completely sold with the idea of change. Does it or does it not follow the guidelines for an efficient running socialist machine?

SO HELL NO WOULD I OR ANYONE WHO VALUES THERE PRIVACY AND FREEDOM AS AN EMPLOYEE OR EMPLOYER SHOULD VOTE FOR THIS DEMEANING AND EGOTISTICAL "BILL" FOR HEALTH CARE.

Nerveana · Answer

Well Fleckman apparently has no problem lying/stretching the truth on many of these, I've actually read the first 100 pages and many of the things he posted on his Twitter account stretches the truth significantly.

Anyway, the bill still needs to be reformed. If anything should alarm you, it's the CBO's projection of the cost.

In short NO. I think the health care system will be like anything else the government gets their hands into,simply put -ruined.

Falcon_01 · Answer

Heck no- it's longer than the Constitution and too convoluted.  I would demand all legislation be plainly written, and fall within the constraints placed upon the government by the Constitution!

"Wait until a rep from ACORN comes knocking at their door demanding to see what's in their refrigerator."
And I thought I'd heard it all when it comes to paranoid delusions! This is about as real as all the rest of your scare tactics about  "government controlled health care".
