Repeal?

Hah, first Health Care Reform, then Financial Reform, then face to face Israel/Palestine talks.

Let's see what did Bush ever do...... oh yeah, tax cuts for the rich. That IS getting repealed.

No amount of "talking" will quench the war in the middle east.

The muslims want to destroy Israel. Period.
(That has nothing to do with bush or obama, both of them are weak kneed pussies and are too scared to pop a bomb and blow the whole thing up ending the war for GOOD).

As for the mosque in ground zero; when it's finished I can guarantee you some people may leave Islam, as, who would want to worship in a temple built under a bunch of corpses? It's just kind of.. freaky IMO.

We don't need healthcare, just more pickups and AR-15s.

Bush did do two "minor" and "short" wars...

They weren't wars. They were Weapons Inspections and Police Actions.

While I don't feel that a health care plan for the U.S. is a bad thing, there is, apparently, something in the bill that put Obamacare into law that should be repealed. It seems that a new reporting requirement for sales of gold and other precious metals has been instituted.

Yep, but likely could have made it without that if it weren't for two of those doings of previous president. Universal healthcare is socialististic, but who not-owner class wants to live in extreme capitalism?

Better health care for less money. The public option is really a no brainer.

I'd love for you to explain to me how the quality is going to improve.

I'd love for you to explain why you are so certain that the quality will do something other than improve.

Making it easier for people to milk the system = more people milking the system = less likelihood of those who actually NEED care getting it when they need it.

It's probably worth mentioning that I met a nice French guy about a year ago working here in the USA. He mentioned that in his home town (forget where) the situation had become so bad there was discussion of putting a cap on the number of people that could be treated at the hospital per day. The amount of people going to emergency care for non-emergency related purposes was overwhelming. He told me that he preferred the current USA Health system, and hoped it wouldn't change to a system like France's.

Guess he was a dumbass then. A dumbass chemist with a good job that paid for his excellent healthcare here. Healthcare that he told me, was of a much higher quality than what he had at home.

Another thing that's better about my plan (Personal Choice) - I can see any doctor I want. If I don't like who I'm seeing, guess what, I can get on the phone and make an appointment with another. I don't have to go through any bureaucratic (or otherwise) process at all. Try getting this kind of freedom with a government-run healthcare plan.

sigh. "You select the doctor".

you also keep referring (bizarrely) to "government" health care.
sigh.
The Affordable Care Act is not "government" healthcare. It sets up health care exchanges which are organized marketplaces for healthcare.
Kind of a big difference.

We all wanted government health care. We did not get it.

I'm for easier women.

Personally I think NYC has the most gorgeous women in the country.
I know LA is a strong contender in this.
I'd still go with NYC. There's just so much beauty everywhere on the streets. And they dress so well.

And I'd wager they're a bit smarter than LA women

but heck, i'm biased. I'm a northeast snob and I freely admit it.

I'm one of these guys that's just not a big fan of makeup in general. I don't mind a little bit, but I prefer women that have a very natural beauty.

Just fire up MS-DOS, enter ‘A:\>dir *.exe’ into the command line, and then follow the instructions to install the Obamacare batch files—it should only take four or five hours at the most. You can press F1 for help if you run into any problems. And be sure your monitor’s screen resolution is at 320 x 200 or it might not display properly.

One way I was personally affected by Obamacare:

Due to the Affordable Care Act, I can't work more than 29.5 hours a week or my company will be fined. Why? Because Obamacare states that all employees who work more than 29.5 hours MUST be offered health insurance, or the feds will fine your company. But seeing as how I have only worked here for (almost) two months and am still a lowly intern, I am still not eligible for health benefits through my company.

Synopsis: I was screwed out of better paychecks as a direct result of Obamacare.

The unemployment rate actually dropped -- since so many people stopped looking for work, entirely.
Roughly 50% of Americans receive some sort of government benefit.
