Wowzer! We (Nation) Lost a Lot Today..

It is interesting about the Medicare portion. That is sort of a game changer. Many of the states will probably opt out, but I do not know how long that will happen. And yes, many will be out to vote in November. This is going to get heated. However, there needs to be some health reform, but I do not know how to do it. It used to be called health insurance, but now it is being changed to health plan, so others can claim a right to it. It is health insurance, and it has to be purchased as insurance in case of major expenses. Many have figured out how to cheat the system by not getting insurance but demand health care.

Probably not a downhill roll and is just a phase your government is going through. If not brace yourself for a big one soon. If it is any consolation, here in my country we don't have all the benefits you have there. We've been in a downhill spiral for decades now and I ain't seeing any improvement anytime soon.

think they have lost thier mindswe already have a meical tax on our check what ya'll will do is pay for the free loaders so they can have ins. One thing I bet alot of people will get a fine i they can fin d them.

I dont know but I am sure that there are not much government take good care for their peoples, politician and officials are not more than people who need job as usual, the same as private company worker and we can't expect too much except the usual / lower standard of services (sorry)

We did lose a lot but I've been listening and watching people comment and a thought struck me--by Justice Roberts casting his vote as he did, knowing that 60% of Americans don't want this health insurance reform, did he just do his best to insure that we get a new POTUS? I thought at first he was out of his mind but maybe not. This could win the election for Romney as he is promising to give waivers to every state and thus make the law moot. I'm sick of the gov't ignoring the will of the people. We need health insurance changes but this is the most expensive, ineffective way to do it. There are better ways and I hope we get a new prez that will make some common sense changes.

Hello, flowerchilde. I will say this much. We really are the leader of the times. I just think that since the decision of the supreme court, as other myLotters have already pointed out, things here will change for good. You are right in that we lost a lot, but in reality it has been running head long into this. Since I spent a lot of time in prison, I never really kept up with what was happening in our country. I know, its sad, but now I have been watching so much, and hearing so much, it is hard to decide who is worse. It is hard to even make sense of why Obama wants all Americans to pay his $1 per month surcharge for abortions. This too is in his "health care" plan. Just wait, it will get worse. Now that I am paying more attention to politics, and my well being, I hear that the "down under" is not that bad a place to be... Have a great day.

If being behind the times means marching to a different drummer, I suppose we are; but that is one of the things that sets the United States apart from other nations, or it use to. Why President Obama or anyone else in government thinks we should be like other nations is beyond me, especially when those other nations are doing so poorly. Roberts' decision may result in a new President, but it has established a precedent that could end up being worse for our nation than he realizes. He has given Congress the right to tax us on just about anything.

U.S is always on the list of powerful countries , in which "power" means everything. Therefore, I don't think that U.S is behind times. There might be some things that to be concern of and needed abrupt fixation.

wow
