This bill is horrible. The costs for each working American are way too high, plus government rules what you can and cannot have. Forget coverage for seniors, with the impact on Medicaid and on the Supplemental Policies - seniors will not have the coverage they have now and they will pay a lot more for what they can get. VOTE NO ON THIS BILL!!!!!

The American news media is still practicing OBAMA WORSHIP and it is leading AMERICA away from true REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT. The OBAMA ROBOTS in the CON{gress} no longer even care about the will of the people. They are trying to establish a GOVERNMENT OF, BY, AND FOR OBAMA. The will of the American people has become a secondary, nuisance to these self appointed little dictators. NANCY PELOSI is so out of touch and has performed so poorly that she should resign, for the good of America. Pelosi was totally disgraseful in her attacks on the American Intelligence Employees. If any Americans are ever tried for war crimes, Pelosi should be the first one tried to determine exactly what she knew and when she knew it. Most people didn't believe her feeble story and she shouldn't be able to weasle out.
