		<description>Thanks , I have just been searching for information about this subject for a while and yours is the best I have found out so far. However, what concerning the bottom line? Are you positive about the supply?&#124;What i do not understood is in truth how you&#039;re no longer actually a lot more neatly-favored than you might be right now. You&#039;re very intelligent.</description>

		<description>All I can say about this is...take the freaking NON american citizens off the medicaid rolls and there will be millions of dollars saved. I am unemployed. My unemployment checks were taken away thanks to our governor, Icannot afford health insurance and do not qualify for medicaid, but a NON citizen does!!!! As an American CITIZEN I am appalled about this. No help for me, but if I were a non citizen, I could get help for free. Doesn&#039;t pay to be a citizen here.</description>

		<description>Patrick,

The Affordable Care Act does not require employers to provide health insurance for their employees.

The Employer Responsibility provision of the Affordable Care Act applies businesses with more than 50 full-time workers.

http://www.healthcare.gov/using-insurance/employers/small-business/index.html

I STRONGLY encourage you to read that link in its entirety before throwing out the baby with the bath water.

Just trying to help.</description>

		<description>FLORIDA

NUMBER OF UNINSURED: 3.85 million Floridians are uninsured, or about 21 percent.

WHERE THE STATE STANDS: Republican Gov. Rick Scott ordered the state not to accept federal money for implementing the health care law after he took office last year. Florida has rejected or declined to pursue more than $106 million and has returned $4.5 million. The state has its own health insurance exchanges, mainly for small businesses but without an individual mandate. The state has not implemented an exchange that would meet the requirements of the federal law.

WHAT HAPPENS NOW: Scott says if the federal law is upheld, Florida will continue to resist implementation because he&#039;s hoping Mitt Romney will be elected president and the law will be repealed. If that doesn&#039;t happen, Scott says Florida will comply.

Corporations are not people.
Money is not free speech.
The hand that comes to extinguish the torch of liberty comes wrapped in its flag.
We must be vigilant from All threats to our Democracy both foreign and domestic.
We all must exercise the Constitutional Rights that our forefathers fought and died for.
We must stop the destructive Voodoo, Not Trickling down, Not Free market economics that is destroying what was once the backbone of this nation the working class. 
We must not let Gov Scott, the Republicans, and the tea party or any other entity subvert our Democracy by the systematic denial of an individual’s right to vote 
The Republicans and the tea party are snake oil sales men extracting wealth by selling Poverty,War and Suffering to the American People.
We must make our voices herd.

		<description>True, Loveless.

What they do, actually, is suck the life out of this country with their proto-fascist anti-middle class policies and relentless corporate/fascist propaganda.

How much money did corporate special interests dump on the American people the last few years? It&#039;s in the HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

America can take note that News Corpse is splitting its two functions into two companies. One side is the news (mostly newspapers) and the other side is called ENTERTAINMENT. Guess which side includes &quot;Fox News&quot;, America. Mmm hmm!</description>

		<description>Health care will never be affordable to anyone as long as insurance companies walk away with billions of policy holders&#039; premium payments.  You cannot create health care for people in a capitalist society where profits, dividends, and CEO&#039;s are paid millions for doing nothing.  Canada and Europe already enjoy a health care system that puts ours to shame.  Big insurance and the Republiclowns could care less what you need or want.  For shame!</description>

		<description>The problem is the expense of healthcare. The real solution is tort reform to reduce the cost of medical care.  I consider myself lucky to be employed and with good health insurance in today&#039;s economy, and I also believe that we do need to help those less fortunate.  No one in this country should be denied healthcare because they can&#039;t afford it.  But this is not the correct solution to the problem.  If the costs of healthcare are brought back down to reasonable levels, then the cost of Medicaid and similar programs would no longer be as significant as they are now and the cost problem would be solved.</description>
