- Everybody cares about their grandchildren and that's exactly why healthcare reform was passed. Health is the bottom line and it appears Democrats care far more about the health of America than do the Republicans who care only about not paying a relatively small amount on incomes of $250,000/year and over. I do not want to live in a society where only the rich can afford medical care and 32,000,000 go uninsured but where we can afford trillions on a senseless war in Iraq. Republicans love to spend our tax dollars on war so it is utterly misleading of them to suggest that they are financially frugal. They proved their incompetence quite well under Bush.

- I guess despite the fact that 51% approved of the bill, which constitutes a majority, they are still going to **** and moan about it.

- So the GOP is at it again. Blocking needed health care amendments by wasting the tax payers' money with stupid amendments. Bear in mind that some of the amendments are designed to close the donut hole in Medicare D.
GOP senators don't care about senior citizens because GOP Senators get all of their medical care free - at tax payer expense. But what about senior citizens facing the donut hole, who must decide between buying prescription medicine or buying food? The GOP once again is proving they are the party of NO. In this case, NO compassion. As a senior citizen myself, I will definitely vote Democratic this Novemember, All other senior citizens should do the same. - Reply to this comment

- http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2010-03-23-health-poll-favorable_N.
New Gallup poll shows 49% favorability rating over the Health Care Reform. It was only a matter of time before people with half a brain quit listening to the slander, cries of socialism, etc. and actually figured out that this bill helps 98% of Americans (sorry, the richest 2% will have to pay a little extra - I know, Republicans HATE this notion)
I bet when even more of the benefits of this reform start rolling out (especially the Medicare Doughnut Hole), the favorability jumps to 60% or more.
Job well done, America! - Reply to this comment

So You and Obama didnt side with Big Pharma, Big Insurance and Big Medical when you mandated everyone to buy Obamacare?
They know what your goal is and now you just provided them with the money and tools to fight you in November. Unless of course they trust you now not to try and put them out of business..... - Reply to this comment
- I believe that this medical bill is a bad bill, and wasn't anything close to a logical solution to the problems involving medical care. As always the solution offered up was to throw billions of dollars at the problem, when other avenues could have been taken that would have have been billions of dollars cheaper.
To all of the liberal posters here who are going on about what George W. (Shrub) Bush spent on this and that, I will say this. There are some of us Americans who are more concerned about America and the future of our children and grandchildren, than we are about either the Neo-Con Right Wing Conservatives, or the Liberal Socialist Democrats. Was it wrong what GB done, yes; is it wrong what Obama is doing now, yes.
We as Americans must step beyond the left-right paradigm and see what is really happening for what it is worth. As long as we continue to allow our government to be run by politicians bought and paid for by global corporate interest, no matter which side of the political spectrum they are on, we the American people will be the losers. Time to vote them all out, and get some Americans in office who really care more about the American people than they do about the global bankers and corporations. Until we do that, we will never get out of the rut we are in. - Reply to this comment
