Sickening isn't it? And Obama will force people to buy insurance they cannot afford. Who is Obama working for anyway? The insurance company? ONE TERM PRESIDENCY!

I think you guys have pointed me to several important articles that have changed my mind on this Health Care bill. I guess it is a dog and should be killed. One thing Olbermann said though, was that this bill would allow differentiated pricing, meaning if you have risk factors, they can charge you more. Not to be cold hearted, but I like that. Americans have become fat and lazy and their health is suffering. For those of us that stay active, exercise and eat right, why should we have to pay the costs of the 2/3 of Americans who don't lift a finger to stay healthy? Let the flaming begin. I think I just showed you a glimpse of some of my underlying GOP thinking in this post. :) However, I do believe in free market pricing, because ultimately it creates the right incentives to solve the problem at the root cause level, which is fat, unhealthy Americans who have a choice to live in a more healthy way.
