ObamaCare laws/break down please read I'm not bashing, just saying something quick. Thank you.
This is note, not my personal words or break down of the (future) laws. This was broken down by a friend of a friend I know and was written on Facebook. I am a republican and admit this openly and freely. That said I do not HATE Obama or Biden. I'm chosing to not attack them. Or the Bill. I'm chosing to not say much of my opinion at all (rare I know). I'd merely like to give you a well researched and written break down of what a good portion of the new healthcare reform will mean for all of us young and old. Everyone from ages 50 and below will be paying for this for years to come so it is everyone's right to know their rules. If you're for the reform that's fine and I respect you as a person and will try to be friendly and civil. If people want to discuss this here, they may. For once I'm also leaving this LJ entry public (something I rarely do). I just ask that you be respectfully towards my page and try to refrain from referring to others and dumocrats, repuplic*nts etc. Thank you very much. I hope this helps.
Please share this information with as many people as possible. Too many people think that the Health Care Bill is a panacea for all their health care problems. Yesterday on the floor of the house Dick Durban actually admitted that our cost would rise. By 2015 the cost of a premium for a family of four will go up by four thousand dollars and doctor availability will fall by half.
