When This "Thing" Passes It Will Be Quite The Cathartic Moment

[Beetwasher]

A quintessential catharsis. Yes?

Sitting here on the cusp of history, make of it what you will.

[cliffordu]

1. yep. K&R. befor the unrec squad comes along...

[Beetwasher]

16. It's Interesting To Observe

The responses to what is essentially a pretty neutral, non-judgemental, meta post.

2. For good or bad, yes, this is a defining moment. Only time will tell for sure. - n/t

[izquierdista]

3. Like passing a kidney stone

And then finding out the worst is yet to come.

4. Yup

Obama will have taken on the issue that "killed" the Clintons and will have a big huge victory under his belt.
The GOP did all that they could to defeat him.
The media did all they could to defeat him.
The corporations and their democrats did all they could do to defeat him.
And Obama still got his victory.
He is still in it.
He got this!

6. The real victory

will be if, and when, the bill is actually successful. I hope so because the American people really deserve it to be.

[mdmc]

10. I think that will be a different bill

but that is a debate for another time my friend.

[bigwillq]

14. Well is there another health care bill

that I am not aware of? :shrug:

[mdmc]

18. no

i'm thinking that we have some time to go before we get health care as a right, not a privlege. this bill won't get us there. that is where I want to go. that is where i want to be.

you know,, universal health care and all that jazz..

[mdmc]

19. no (dupe)

5. Yeah, like the last days of the Weimar Republic... or Rome

it's a cusp, alright.

[tridim]

15. Yep, pessimists will continue their pessimism until the end of time..

Even as the reforms begin helping the formerly uninsured to finally be able to afford health care. Your constant pessimism wont change that fact, so believe whatever you want.

BTW, stress and anxiety is a killer. You might want to use your new affordable health care to get that checked out.

[ixion]

21. affordable? my rates are likely to triple, from what I've read

and, believe me, I would love to be proven wrong.

[tridim]

22. 8% of your income is the cap.

Is that triple what you pay now?

Chances are you will be paying much less than 8% based on the competition created via the exchange.

[ixion]

23. I pay less than one percent now

and I don't want to pay any more than that. :)

7. I could not be more unimpressed. Nt

[libertypirate]

8. It already looks like the crooks are celebrating.

[Goldstein1984]

12. This tells who the winners are

[Ken Burch]

9. The legislative process will finally be unblocked, you say?

Our national discomfort will be relieved?

[HuckleB]

11. If it passes on Thursday, I won't even be paying attention.

My parents will be in town. It's my kid's birthday, and it's Christmas Eve.

I'll probably look at the details sometime next week.

[valerief]

13. Next privitization of Medicare, then SS, abolition of public schools, etc. nt

[Duke Newcombe]

17. Cathartic, as in we should puke? Check. n/t
