11. I'll go out on a limb

My gut says it will stand, but i'm going to do a card reading on it when I get home - as I really want it to survive. Baby steps forward are still steps forward. We must not let the GOP take us backward!

Taking away guarantees for pre-existing conditions, allowing those up to 26 who live at home or are in college to be covered on their parents policies, all this and more is GOOD stuff. I don't know why people are so freaked out about the mandate, it was debated, it was voted on and it passed as law.

The amount of money it will cost companies to UNDO new policies set in place over the past two years if the GOP gets its way and the law is stricken will be sickening.

Personally, I'm for healthcare as other countries have it such as Canada, France - it is built into their taxes and it is not something that the people have to worry about becoming bankrupt over. What is WRONG with the United States??? My God, it makes me want to weep.
