Zimbabwe! no but seriously.there are so many loophole's already found with the new reform that it seems like it could be more of a hindrance to the American people and economy, personally they should have waited a few more years to make a new reform as this can plunge us all into an economic downfall. Take the global economic downfall, that had nothing to do with Canada but we got hit very hard because of it (we didn't start to get hit until three months after the states got hit meaning that we were getting money sucked out of us by the states, if you disagree thats because you don't live here to know the dmg we took from America's economic fall, not to mention the fact that more then half of our business's are American owned). so this could really make or break America depending on what the American people's and government will do. cya
P.S. $940 Billion + 10 year's = America as a third world nation or America as a continuing super power

Well, it works fine in all of Europe. Free healthcare for all doesn't suck money out of public spending. From what I have seen, it means that people don't have to pay for insurance money. How much does it cost you if you have cancer? Free in Europe.
I think it'll be a lot better than what we have had in the past.

I believe it has a lot of potential, but the government needs to keep a good eye on it and not let if fail like the Medicare and Welfare programs, which are putting the government more into debt.
What I do like about the Bill is that it prevents insurrance companies from denying coverage based on a pre-existing condition, which for me is a jump for joy, because I have rhematoid arthritis and I could easily be denied coverage.
What I do wish was included in detail would be coverage of domestic partners and more support to the LGBT community, but thats just my personal biasness.

Why don't you take Rush Limbaugh with you while you're at it... :/
Well we'll just have to wait and see what happens, it could either help America or hurt it...
If you need proof that it works, look at Europe. Look at the UK.
Ice Espeon I'm going with your word on it, however I still think this new bill that has been passed by both the House and the Senate will more than likely prolong the current U.S. Recession not try to end it sooner, sure getting Health Care back on track is a step to helping recover the Economy in a sense but I don't see how that is.
Also considering how big the bill that's been passed into law is which includes bylaws to help compensate the loss of a public option backed by the Government there's no cuts to help reduce the amount money this is going to put into the U.S. Deficit top the fact we're already spending money on both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars it doesn't help much either.

Im glad Health Care Bill passed, but I heard about 14 states are against the Health Care Bill. Many people are really angry about the passing the Bill. I've noticed on somebody in my neighborhood that has a sign that says, "Hands off My Health Care." Even on Youtube there was a really mad lady saying that this Health Care Bill will ruin everything.
If it works in Europe and the UK then is there really a problem?
I really think we are in for a bumpy ride.
Can somebody explain to me what would be so bad about America completely converting to universal healthcare? I'm not going to pretend I know more about this than I actually do, but I get the impression that a lot of Americans are, and are just repeating talking points they heard on TV but don't fully understand both sides to.
lolz, not a single Republican voted for it, and some Democrats even went against it. Final vote tally:
219 for, 212 against. little bit of a close vote.
Maybe now that the bill has passed, they'll actually tell us what's in it? But nah, why do that?
