    If the new healthcare bill is so awesome...

    ...why did our elected officials exempt themselves from it, as well as unions until 2018 and (?) the Amish?

    ****, call me Rosie the buggy-driving comptroller/riveter.

    I'm looking for loopholes and becoming Amish seems to be the way to go!

    BTW, who would think that the Amish would have such a powerful lobby?

    I can't find anything there in that statement that I disagree with. Consumer spending habits *do* need to change.

    you did it now Veritas, you're clearly a dirty lib now.

    I'd tell you why congress did that, except I'm off voting to give myself another undeserved pay raise on top of the bribes...er 'donations' from lobbyists.

    Whys that?

    Consumer spending habits are what drive innovation. If they need to change, let the consumer decide for themselves, not some commissar telling us what we do and don't need.

    No, innovation takes place to create new and better products to induce consumers to spend. We have cool amazing techological stuff not because the companies have some benevolent urges but because there is a revenue motive and a need to stay ahead of the competition. Know why your cell phone is so cool? Capitalism, baby.

    That's basically what I meant in not so many words, although I would add that this innovation, or risk rather, would not occur if there wasn't a market for it to begin with.

    Where did you hear/read this? I have looked through the bill and cannot find any mention of union or Congress members. Here is a link to the religious exemption (which, of course, does not mention the Amish by name).

    http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111...id=t0:eas:2360

    Interesting, though, if you're like Rush wanted to be and are out of the country, you don't have to pay for insurance for that time.

    Its interesting that this is from the Huffington Post. They're left wing big time and I'm shocked to see they're willing to admit this and print it. If you support this bill, I guess you're just an Obama homer who believes what you want in spite of all the evidence that this is a terrible bill which in the end, really helps no one but the powers that be to have more power.

    Re: If the new healthcare bill is so awesome...

    Actually, one writer from another website had that opinion. Most of the commenters disagreed and I'm sure most of the other HP writers are either for the bill or only criticize the lack of a public option or full blown universal care. Many moderates and liberals complain about how much it actually appeases the insurance companies, despite the fact that they all claim it's gonna break them.
