Health care is about the middle class getting screwed by no care or higher costs. The reps all have health care. The poor on Medicaid and the old on Medicare have it. So why not the middle class?
A relative of mine works for $10 per hour or $400 per week. Her employer makes her pay $20 per week for health care. That is 5 percent of her wages. She makes a little over $20,000 per year. She is considered middle class because she works.
The Republicans say,"Let us have our say." These idiots had their say for eight years. What did they do about it? Nothing. They cut taxes for the rich and Bush killed the economy. Bush got us in two wars, not just one. His handiwork is the cause of where this county is. Every unemployed worker should thank Mr. Bush. Every homeowner who lost his home, thank Mr. Bush.
The Republican leader is saying wait until November election, that they will bring up this vote. I hope they do. I hope they say that they voted "No" on this. There are more middle class voters than rich ones. They are screwing the middle class like they always do.
Nothing is new here.

20 a week for healthcare coverage is cheap. do you have healthcare? how much do you pay? I pay 60 a week.
I am sure her employer is paying way more than her 20 a week for her to have coverage.

at least she can get healthcare.....try $5k/month, and excluding pre-existing conditions...and, everything relates to pre-existing conditions....I need to make $60k/year, after taxes, just to be able to get insurance.
Yup....nothing here needs fixin'....

There is no such thing as "free" health care. Read the damn bill people. If this passes, you will be required to "buy" health insurance under the government plan. and they will take money from those on welfare and unemployment. This won't start until 2015 long after Obama is gone. and i'm sure all the taxes collected to support this bullshit will be gone.
