Even the guy who called people "stupid" is glad that it passed. I guess he was just being brutally honest (and stupid for not keeping his mouth shut BTW).
Just some facts: The Associated Press reported that, for example, the average United Auto Workers member makes $29.78 per hour at GM, while Toyota pays its workers (most of whom are non-union) about $30 per hour. However, when total benefits (including pensions and health care for workers, retirees and their spouses) is factored in, GM's total hourly labor costs is about $69, while Toyota's is about $48.
Due to provisions of Obamacare, I pay less overall for my medical care and have better coverage. I have the same health insurance plan I had before, with no government subsidy. I know many people far better off because they can now get insurance or have costly conditions covered.
I consider that damn good legislation.
How many people in this forum have Obamacare?
Who are you or the all knowing Kurt to decided what my sole intent was in the "troll post" as you and Kurt call it? I brought up a fact. The fact is that 40% of the electricity produced in the United States is from coal powered plants. This is a legitimate topic for discussion. and eliminating coal as a power source will create higher prices and eliminate an industry and jobs. To read into my post that my purpose was to taunt people who are disadvantaged is an arrogant assumption of the highest order. The fact is that liberal Democrats want to eliminate coal as a power source for electricity. Frankly, I get the message that you, and others on this forum want some of us to go away because we disagree with the politically correct point of view. If presenting facts and a point of view is a troll post and some arrogant pricks want to decided what one's intent is, I'm in the wrong place.

Damn! Labor and management working together on wages and benefits. How un-Republican of them.
I have TRICARE.
Thank-you taxpayers. The nurse at the doctor's office the other day was shocked when I told her that I paid $57 a month for my dental insurance and $43 for my healthcare. With $12 co-pays and $25 for an outpatient procedure. All you have to do is give up 20+ years of your life and travel to interesting places.
