So why would this concern anyone? He has an 'evil' plan, he has a little over two years to finish it, he can't. So what.

Barney Frank supported the public option. So what. It isn't in the bill.

"My commitment is to ensure we have a universal heathcare system for all Americans by the end of my first term" Nice words, just expensive to accomplish.

"The public option is not your enemy" There is no public option in this bill. It did not get through. It could have. The democrats could have done this, but they didn't. Can you Obama haters explain why?

"My hope is that we can set up a system that allows those who CAN'T go through an employer to access a federal system or a state pool of some sort" Sorta what just happened.

We have a system in this country, you 'conservatives' can vote for a new congress and president in the next elections. I had to suffer 8 years of GWB, and you must suffer 4 years of BHO. That's life.

For those of you who absolutely do not believe we are a HUGE socialist country and have been for a long time, elect a new congress and make sure they ELIMINATE social security. Then tell your retired parents that thier checks will stop and you will take care of them financially, just like the old days. Hell, you can even all move into the same house. Three generations under one roof, all supporting each other. What? Your parents didn't save enough for a comfortable retirement? Too bad. Mine either. Kinda not Obamas fault is it...
