They wanted to make sure that people could afford to have health care and health insurance and be healthy so that they could enjoy life without being sick. I see nothing wrong with that. The only part that I don't like is forcing the young people to buy insurance so that they are insured too. In the past they were not insurance and they got sick or injured and the rest of us had to pay for their treatment as the hospitals got stuck with the costs which they passed onto everyone else. Now that everyone has health insurance and there is completion for the insured the cost are not going up as fast as before. In some cases the cost have declined for many. That's a good thing. But Obama never controlled the Congress ever.
Ok I'll play your game....if you don't like controlled how about majority?

I guess I wasn't paying attention.....Who was the Senate Majority Leader and who was the House Majority leader back then? Who did the independents "party" with?

Now a few things are wrong with your post...not everyone has health insurance. The deadline keeps moving and I think the new deadline is next Febuary unless your one of the millions who will get amnesty.

You don't like young people being forced to buy health insurance? Why? I thought you didn't like footing the bill for others?

So so far your claim of lower insurance has not been proven to me. Why has our insurance and other small business insurance plans gone up 95-100%?? I pay my daughters insurance through BCBS and it goes up even year. What insurance do you have that's so awesome that it goes down?? Please tell me so I can check.

i will qualify my above paragraph by saying I have not reviewed our new plan yet or my daughters plan since nothing has come back from the insurance companies so my judgments and statements are based on the last 18 years (her age) of rising health insurance costs.

i guess you know that Kentucky has opened up and we can get quotes form other insurance companies?? Before it was closed to specific ones as far as I knew.
