btw, shitty gay healthcare bill passed the house

[God]

so yeah it'll probably go through i guess. its a pretty terrible bill so who cares. looks like the us will have to wait a few more years until it gets another chance to become a first world country finally.

[Hicky]

why 'BTW'? I don't think I get it - you weren't even discussing anything before discussing this.

[God]

because i dont really care that much

What's it actually do? From an objective viewpoint, I mean.

It basically forces every one to get health care and helps out private insurers

I thought Tim would be all for this. It's the pet project of his lord and savior Obama, it's pretty much the exact opposite of capitalism, free market, or anything productive, and it strips people of their responsibility to take care of themselves.

Instead of having our health care limited to a specified group of people of their own throughout America, we're making it national across America. Sort-of like Canada's, Australia's, or the UK's.

It's suppose to do a lot of good for the people.

The NHS is paid through tax, not private insurance.

I absolutely love how they say the entire system will be paid through fines. Lol, fines, it'll be taxed. And before the 4 years are up we'll have that damnable carbon tax to pick up it's bill.

Oh, and I also love how the government's plan is going to cost more than private insurance costs right now.
