hmmmm is this the first hate crime in America?

Are people who practice other religions attacked in other countries around the world?

Yeah, hang the "Mission Accomplished" banner.

Are you equally outraged when Muslims attack an aid convoy and hack up the nuns?

Enright must be a liberal – Right Wing Conservatives never act out with blind hatred, racial bigotry, or righteous indignation.

Michael Enright must have been acting out of fear, as we all know that the world is soon to end from Obama’s policies; the Earth will spin off into space – dark “black” space – a godless void, all due to healthcare reform.

And now Obama ends the war and make the proud suffer “peace without honor”. Oh the humanity!

BTW, just to complete the circle, the new health care is sh*t. I just found out that starting in 2011, thanks to the "new health care bill", I can no longer use my Flex-Spend card for over-the-counter meds, unless my doctor writes a prescription for them. Like he's really going to write me a scrip for Tylenol. And like I'm going to pay for an office call to get it.

Thank-you, El Presidente Bobblehead and Congress, for "saving me money" on my health care. For giving me more "more options and choices". For letting me keep my plan if I like it, which I do. Or did.

Fox New told us that ObamaCare would “destroy the nation”.

Your bitching about the price of a script, while we face Armageddon?

The nation is bankrupt, not destroyed.

Austerity is coming and it is recessionary.

Re: 7 - No, I am pointing out that once again we have been lied to. Not surprised, however. And far more problems are coming down the pike with this "reform". Except for the do-nothing suckasses who don't work, don't pay taxes and are only in line for the next freebie.

^ sorry to hear snowwolf777... seems like a small item, but it's salt in the wound of a promise not kept.

Wife and I are paying our own insurance and it's now over $800 / month.

The flex account changes are crap. We have employees, including myself, who take advantage of the benefits a flex spending account offered. Next year I doubt I'll participate, or just put very little into it except for what I know we'll pay for Rx and pediatrician visits, or maybe we eliminate the company plan all together...not sure anyone would miss it with the changes.

...and our group health plan premiums are going up 22.5% next month. As if it wasn't already costing a ridiculous amount. Depending on which medical plan you choose (we have 2), family coverage is either $803 or $1395. That's before the 22.5% hike.

what the hell is a flexi spend card...

I have always paid for my OTC eds out of pocket.

Obama is just getting rid of your elitist helath care.

By the way your analysis of health care bill was scintillating. Your conclusion based on your flexi spend card was insightful.

Flex spending accounts allow you to have money deducted from your check, pre-tax, to be used to pay for a large list of health related items...office visits, Rx, OTC drugs, tampons (if u need any), the services of an indian medicine man (serious...it's in there). The list goes on and on. It's kinda like paying into a 401k, but you can take that money and use it for healthcare needs. You can also use it to pay for dependant care (i.e. daycare, pre-school, care for elderly parent, etc). If you have kids and/or have regular prescriptions it's well worth it.

We are in the middle of battling with my mother in law, who is 90 and needs assisted living, as to where she is going to live. She refuses to be reasonable and is becoming a real pain in the a**.

So when the hell is Obama going to get these death panels going?????

Just kidd’n

Re: # 7 - You and a few others on here talk like it's all implemented and it's business as usual, nothing changed. Most of it doesn't even kick in until 2014. But the regressive taxes, like the FSA limits, will kick in sooner. I know - we all have to wait until something happens to personally affect you before it becomes an issue.
