President Obama signed healthcare reform into law this afternoon. While it isn’t the best bill that we could have gotten, it is much better than we currently have. I know a lot of people are upset that it doesn’t include everything that Obama talked about when he was campaigning, such as giving everyone the same healthcare that he himself had as a Senator, but unfortunately there were people who stood in the way of change and for the most part those people are called Republicans. Unfortunately it seems that killing these people is illegal, so if you do not want them to mess up what you want and what you think your government should give you, then please vote them out of office.
Seriously though, by 2014 if you do not have medicaid or health insurance of some kind then you will be fined for it. I have been without health insurance for a few years now and I have to say it is a pain in the ass. I am hoping that since I have done my taxes this week and with this new health reform going into affect this year, then I can go ahead and get myself either medicaid or health insurance. There are some things that I’d like to take care of that I can’t without having insurance, like getting medicine for my ADD, going to the doctor when I am sick, and eventually when I can figure out how dental will change, finishing this root canal that was started a few years ago.
Before the bill was signed, Vice President Biden was caught saying that “this is a big fucking deal” and the news stations are really upset that the Vice President would put it like that, but really when you think about it, are there any words that sum it up better than “this is a big fucking deal”? I can’t think of any.
I just think it means a better use of tax dollars instead of lining peoples pockets who don’t deserve it. I’d say that’s a big fucking deal
yup, lol. It’s a big fucking deal. I’m happy they passed something. Better to do something and improve on it, then nothing at all like we’ve done for…well….for ever. ;o) Hope you get some good coverage soon and take care of that tooth!
I know a lot of people are still against it but I don’t really think any of their arguments are valid. It’s crazy that there are people in a developed country dying because there is no public health care. Health is more important than money.
Yeah. I hope the situation will improved soon.
Haha, nope, “This is a big fuckin deal” just about sums it up for me. Man if all politicians spoke my language like that, I would actually pay attention to it!
