Sen. Reid goes to a local GM dealer in Washington, D.C. with the intention of buying a brand new vehicle. Harry looks around and finds one he likes. After going back and forth with the salesman, Harry settles on a price of $45,000. Harry and the salesman go back to the office to complete the paperwork. Harry works out a 4-year payment plan, and signs on the bottom line. The salesman shakes Harry's hand and says, "Thanks Senator Reid, the car will be ready for pickup in 4 years." Harry says, "What are you talking about? Where are the keys to my new car?" The salesman replies, "No, you don't understand Senator. You make payments for 4 years... THEN we give you the car. You know, just like your health plan". Harry, with a choking voice, says to the salesman, "But that's not fair". And I say without any doubt or embarrassment: NO S- -T SHERLOCK!!!!! WHAT GAVE YOU YOUR FIRST CLUE?????? Get with the program Harry!!

#1: Everyone who currently has health care is so 'exempted' from the plan. If you have health care through your employer, or (like me) have bought your own health care, you will not be forced to change under the new plan. Except your premiums are going to double. #2: This argument is laughable. 'Obamacare' is so terrible because...it doesn't start soon enough? Yes, the taxes, fees and increased premiums start immediately, but the 30 million uninsured won't get insurance until 5 years have passed. Brilliant!!
