I am not you, I am actually for this "Bill" now law, and you expect me to be sad because history have been made today. The same group of people who spent trillions on crappy war are against health insurance for American people. It's a great day for me and my family, you should see us celebrating.

I was against the war too, but anyway...

Can you tell me how you, or your families lives will be better due to this bill? What's going to change for you?

if you have insurance, you will just pay more. If you didn't, you will be forced to buy it. Where's the upside?

I know plenty people in Brooklyn New york including in my family who currently have no health insurance. Some work jobs that don't provide it. They have to go and spend 8 HOURS in Kings County Hospital just to get a chance to see a doctor. You should see the way they threat these people.

I have never qualified for medicaid or family Health plus because I make too much which is nothing really, and I won't mind paying just so I feel protected. This means a lot to us in New York. I know many won't understand, but in this country the people who really need health insurance can't get it sometimes. This will end, and MR Obama is the one that will do it. What a wonderful day.

I am sorry to say this, but those people in your family that don't have health insurance, are no better off now then they were yesterday. There is nothing in this bill for them. They will not have coverage just because this bill passed.

What they will have is the ability to go to an insurance exchange, and buy insurance, if they can afford the $6,000-$10,000 that it will cost. The only people this bill helps, are those with a good amount of money, who can afford insurance, but due to a pre existing condition, can't find anyone who will cover them.

The sad thing is, there are far better ways to solve that one problem.
