New health insurance requirement ... was GOP idea

[StreetSlappah]

And you act like those who voted against the bill (republican and democrat) aren't getting the same threats. Oh that's right....you don't hear anything but the liberal media.

It is happening to both sides but the liberal media is only reporting one side of it.

wow are you serious? Yea both sides are getting threats! Wow maybe you should do more reading since not one case has been reported that the side whom voted against the LAW, now are getting any threats and yea some democrats voted against the health bill, only because republicans bribed them with longer terms such as what has happened with every corrupt election in the u.s.

What? I am really trying to understand that statement. So you are saying it is the American Individual's fault for being pissed at the politicians for something they did?? That is like saying it is wrong for someone to be mad at me because I punched them in the face! If I decided that someone "needed" that, that doesn't mean the person wouldn't get pissed!

And you think that Republicans didn't get a SINGLE pissed off phone call telling them that they had better not dare vote for the bill or they would be out? You think that EVERYONE at DC protesting the bill knew EVERY politician and if they were a Democrat or Republican just from sight??? REALLY?? WHAT Republican Threats? Obama threatened Democrats when he said "If this doesn't pass, I will be a one term prez..." That means the Dems go too! That means no help for the Dems left from a Republican Congress. You think That wasn't a threat? I could care if he got re-elected as pres if I were a Congress Person because their loyalty is NOT to the President, but to their Individual Constituents and to the Constitution.

What is this double standard?

Edit: Namosh beat me to the punch!!! Damn Ninja!

wow obviously you as well has to hop on the republicans balls, just face it republicans against the new LAW are wrong and are now just trying to get attention due to thier failure of not being able to stop the health plan.

Bribes? You mean like the Louisiana Purchase? The cornhusker kickback? Whatever Stupak got? Whatever Kucinich got? This administration has re-written the book on bribes and back room deals.

Maybe you should read something other than liberal blogs.

Excactly it's been bribes since day one, you just proved my point, but since these bribes trying not to pass this bill didn't work, now we have ourselves a great new law. I wish it had public opinion but its still a great law. Also maybe i enjoy my liberal media you should try it someday.

This is called a Freudian slip.

It is impossible to govern without the consent of the governed....You and your kind will find this out in November.

lol... ok, "you guys" (meaning Liberals) in a discussion are like trying to nail jello to the wall.

When there is a FACT, you squirm past it and zing on to the next thing that doesn't have anything to do with the price of tea in China. Blame the bribes, blame the Republicans, blame the "Radical" Tea Party members, blame blame blame.... Everything but address the issue and look someone in the eye.

PLEASE elaborate on how it is Unconstitutional to sue against something is Unconstitutional! You are using the Constitution against itself! That is like the blind leading the blind- they both go into the ditch.

And the "Republicans" suing against this aren't Republicans. They are the STATES' ATTORNEYS GENERAL! Period. It shouldn't matter if they are Democrat, Republican, Independant, Black, White, Male, female... None of that matters. All that matters is the issue. They represent the Individuals ("The People" in that Constitution that libs wipe their butts with) in those States. Power comes from the Individuals in the States. The States grant (Not give, but Grant -that means it can be taken back) power to the Federal Government. This IS the Constitution!

Like Namosh pointed out: it is impossible to govern without the consent of the governed.

Please address ANY of the points in the last 2 pages of posts. Any of them. Do it and try not to bring up Republican, Tea Party, Conservative, Liberal, Socialist, Democrat... blame, any side story, or so-and-so did this or that- and just address the points brought up in regard to the Constitution and prove your point. You can't. Just try.

We await any and all feeble attempts to Undermine the Constitution of These United States.

The left right paradigm is strong is this thread

Not picking sides here, BUT, this "Law" sucks. How can you force an American Citizen to "Buy" healthcare by law? That is against his/her civil rights. If someone does not want to have health insurance, that is his/her choice.

Basically insurance will now be the same as a Tax.

Individual Mandate:

* In 2014, everyone must purchase health insurance or face a $695 annual fine. There are some exceptions for low-income people.

Employer Mandate:

* Technically, there is no employer mandate. Employers with more than 50 employees must provide health insurance or pay a fine of $2000 per worker each year if any worker receives federal subsidies to purchase health insurance. Fines applied to entire number of employees minus some allowances.

Immigration:

* Illegal immigrants will not be allowed to buy health insurance in the exchanges -- even if they pay completely with their own money.

Oh and in b4 lock.
