I Think History Is Being Forgoten

Anyone wonder why the US a=Affordable Care Act is called Obamacare? Why is social security not Rooseveltcurity, Medicare Johnsoncare? No president can pass legislaton, that is the job of Congress.

I think the answer is rather obvious!

If anyone else has dread all 126 pages of the newly passed house bill can explain to me what on earth page 123 is there for, in a health care bill, please let me know. It is a blatant tax break. Also you need to tell me what will happen to those who became eligible for Medicaid who were it the range of over 133 and under 301 of the poverty level? Further, tell me how many feel we will be better off with the cost of medical care if the same Bill passes in the senate?

Those issues are truly difficult to find in the 126 pages. It is all cut and pasted to avoid looking like a big, complex legislation! Smoke and mirrors!

We do need the ability to buy into a federal system!

The insurance carriers certainly don't want a federal choice, although Medicare is certainly making money for them through their supplemental plans!

The Republicans were opposed to everything Obama, and continue to be so!
