There are several crazy things that should get fixed and if they can do it with an omnibus bill, okay. There are few bills, including in times of war that don't have some crap in 'em.

A new election doesn't change the whole of politics - the amount of pork and politics isn't going to completely change because of Obama. Change is relative and not absolute. Okay there is a new House. But only 1/3 of the Senate is changing. For me the tide is flowing in the direction of the little guy for a change - okay. Contrary to the rants of the right, the ruin of this country isn't because all the dirt-poor unemployed people are sucking us dry with their idleness and desires for medical treatment.

If this is a problem, we can change it. There is actually a clause that after you are disabled enough to get disability, you can't get treatment for anything (except ALS and dialysis) for 2 years. What is the rationale for this? It's crazy. If they can JUST fix it and let us move on without a big national debate, I'm okay with that.

So, you think that people who couldn't afford to pay for their own health insurance when they employed, should be made to:

1)Pay for health insurance when they are unemployed?

or

2) Should go without health insurance.

Which?
