It is time for States to begin seceding from this broken country. I can't wait and hope it is real soon so those of us that don't want to live in the" United Socialist States of Obama" can have a FREE country to live and work in.

You stupid Americans.....you will be sorry for the day you ever heard obamas name

This is only the start of Americas collapse, Be prepared Everyone move to Canada Free Medical there Govt PAYS for ALL

It is a start, people ! ON THE LONG TERM, YOU WILL ALL SAVE MONEY !

But that's true, americans are brain dead and they don't have any memory, why should they be able to look for long term benefits ???

You just cannot see past your own noses !

In the long term, it will help a lots of people and less will lose their home and everybody will save !

Unhealthy and sick people CANNOT be productive... Having so many unhealthy people could collapse your economy !!!

What a day in history...ObamaCare screws us again! If you think you want this, you don't know what you are signing up for. Get ready to head to Europe and other countries just to get treatment...look at Canada!!! This is not hard, get off stupid and wise up to the fact that you are being taken for a ride! NO ONE should dictate health care like that! So you think his program is gonna be better than the insurance you have or don't have....think again! You don't take the program, you pay more taxes, you sign up and it does nothing for you! Wisen up to what is REALLY going on here!!!!!!!! We are becoming a socialist country! THANKS U JERKS! Call me on your way to get cold medicine in AFRICA!!!!!!!!!!

some of you are truely dumb ! with uhc you pay for your own and you will certainly pay way less taxes than the taxes you're giving to health care insurance !!!

I'm not saying PPACA is a sound policy, same as Chief Justice Roberts wrote. But what I do know is that the President only signed the law (and lobbied for it, of course). But the law passed the house and senate, and has now been deemed constitutional. This is a law passed by the Federal government, not one man, or one party. If people do not like it, then elect folks who will come up with something better, or at least repeal it. Better yet, run for office, campaign for someone who supports what you want done, or otherwise be involved. Whining about the death of America, blah blah blah, on this site sure won't change anything.

I can't believe in the dissent the Justices quoted Webster's Dictionary as a source for the word "regulate" supporting their position. These are the Chief Justices and the top of the legal chain in our government. Whatever the LEGAL meaning of regulate is through the usage of it in laws and existing precedents is what a legal decision should be based on and not the common non-legal usage of the word.

I respect their viewpoint and their dissent, but I see quoting a dictionary as far below their level and responsibilities and a real slap in the face to the rest of the Justice professionals. What's next? using Wikipedia? the Drudge report?

goes to show you that even the so called supreme court judges can be bought for a price....thanks alot roberts....you piece of trash

Some one should check Washington's grave, I am sure the ground is moving from him rolling over! The United States of America (a free country) is now dead. Health care can't even help this country's government now. I will bet China (the new world superpower) is loving this.

say hello to government dictation to where you get your healthcare, say hello to long lines at your new muslim doctors because thats all there will be in a few years here....look at the student rosters at the med schools....all arab muslims......you fools....just like germany you fell for it didnt you...dont cry when they tell you that your mommy is to old to get treatment for her breast cancer....its coming people.......you bought it now suck it up.....dont complain when your 5 year is left to die because its not cost effective to treat him because he will most likely die a few years from now anyway.....get use to it..its coming...you fools......and those death panels......get use it to it... they are in the bill....did you read it?? NO I didnt , NBC and CBS said it was a good thing....you fools......NBC, CBS, ABC...LOL they told you everything the Goverment told them to tell you and you swallowed it whole....you fools just like NAZI Germany....ITS HERE

As a deeply concerned american It is very difficult for me to see My America whom my forefathers fought for and died an fled by the thousands to our shores for FREEDOM This pilgramidge has been shamed by the right of taxation without representation ( forcing individuals into something) and a mis-balenced economy, true I am not in total agreement we should pay for the care of those who are really NOT poor and can get anything just because of a few loopholes. I personally would like that knowledge.I guess I have been brought up with the idea that one must do something if one is to eat There is work out there.

This is the way it has been and lately has become more of a problem with Washington I point to Canada where everyone has medical coverage and does not cost citizens a thing,and Canada pays for it.

Although I am an American true and true I am Very ashamed

To Crush88. You don't need to [k]nock on your neighbor's door. You are now paying for deadbeats' health care through taxes. ObamaCare means no more free riders! That's the American way.

In France we have had UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE for 50 years !! It is the best program that a government can give to a society !!!

It is not communism, or socialism, it is GOOD COMMON SENSE and it works !!

If every body had supported a single plan, the bill would have been even better.. Your country would have saved billions in the long run.. But no, you are too stubborn !

Oh and by the way, in Europe we are CAPITALIST DEMOCRACIES ! All modern countries have UHC and you should too ! You have been dragging your feet for way too long. Millions have died because of your stubborness and paranoia !

Health care for all is a right, not a privilege ! READ ARTICLE 25 ! America has been in violation of that treaty that they signed with all other modern countries but what is the surprise ? They violated treaties with the natives, too.. so to put it simply, your politicians ripped you, off that right !

Republicans have violated your rights for way too long !! If a government does not do any good thing for the people, then why do you have a government for ???? It is the role of the government to create programs that benefit ALL.. for the well being the country.

With healthier people, comes happiness, lower poverty, and lower crime rates.

So it is at your advantage !

I find it incredibly fascinating that the same people/party that say people should pay for themselves, are the same group that's complaining about PPACA which requires people to pay for their own health insurance!!

The BIG problem with many of these rants is SELFISHNESS and GREED, but most FAIL to SEE that they are presently paying the PREMIUM for those who are uninsured through HIGH INSURANCE PREMIUMS and TAXES.

Only a DIMWIT could not understand that if everyone has health insurance, the PREMIUM POOL is SIGNIFICANT and the cost per insured will level out and then decline. The other benefit is we will have a healthier population and a more productive society!

AGAIN THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA and ADMINISTRATION, you saved the U S A & WORLD from the GREAT REPUBLICAN RECESSION of 2008 and now you are saving the well being of MILLIONS of AMERICANS, young and old!

If only the GOP, REPUBLICANS would pitch in and help to get our ECONOMY restored, after they effectively destroyed the economy and millions of families well being!

Well..I don't know if passing this will be good or bad in the long run, my main concern is how much more can my paycheck take when it goes into full swing.

Do you know where the taxes that should have paid for that program LONG AGO, went ??

To your insane military machine that does nothing good for you ! Yeah some of your politicians became very rich using your tax dollars for the military, How about Cheney and Halliburton ????

They all became rich on YOUR BACK when those taxes should have been used to give you, health and security!

Could someone please get the Repugs on this post something to drink or eat? Maybe a Weineken or an order of French Cries! What a great day for America, and all these people want to do is complain, Stop being such sore losers Repugs and accept the fact that "OBAMACARE" is gonna happen. OBAMA 2012

Thank you Mr Romney for laying the blueprint of Health Care Reform down for us:)

Here's the thing NO ONE is recognizing on this commentary. The DOCTORS AND THE HOSPITALS ARE OVERCHARGING FOR THEIR SERVICE. Why does it cost $300 for an aspirin? When they fix this overcharging, we can start to afford health care. Until that happens, we are stuck with the high cost of insurance. Someone commented that if you don't qualify for Medicaid, you can pay for insurance. That is the stupidest statement. If you make ONE PENNY (not exaggerating) more than the qualifying amount, you are disqualified. That doesn't mean you can afford overpriced health insurance. I don't like paying for other people's insurance AND I don't like paying $300 for an aspirin. The whole system is SH**. The ONLY fix is to make these doctors and hospitals stop overcharging for care.

You know why we need a change to healthcare. I am still on Cobra from a previous job, but if I were to switch to an individual plan right now, it would not include maternity coverage. If I wanted maternity coverage, I would have to pay an extra $300-$400 a month but then there is a one year waiting period before maternity coverage would kick in. So, basically I would be paying for most of my coverage ahead of time and then they would turn around and extend it back to me which is really convuluted. Under Obamacare, maternity coverage would be seen as essential care, not just some annoyance.

Big corporations which have been given first amendment rights by the supreme court to make unlimited contributions to political candidates and elected officials, have saturated the media to make the American people believe that it’s bad for them to have the same health care benefits enjoyed by members of congress, supreme court, and the establishment. It just so happens big corporations and the establishment largely control which elected officials receive political contributions donated by big business under the guise of freedom of speech.

In other words, working men and women have been lead to believe that good health care for them is bad and that 34 million people should not have affordable health care.

1930's all over again.........Hitler is rolling in his grave with sheer joy and happiness

Being a Canadian living in the US for the past two decades I don't necessarily have a problem with manditory health care and the general premise of Obamacare. What I do have a huge problem with is the Medical Insurance industry and the ridiculous bureaucracy involved. All that I know is when I was ill in Canada, I went to the Dr., showed my healthcare card, saw the physician and then did what he said I needed to do as far as getting better. No bills from insurance companies. No one I ever knew having to declare bankruptcy due to outrageous medical costs/bills. No such thing as pre-existing conditions. This is not to say everything was covered. If you wanted, for example, plastic surgery for vanity reasons, that was on your dime. Prescription costs were much lower than here as well. The system wasn't perfect, but no medical system will ever be perfect. But to not have to even think about whether you can "afford" health coverage. I guess it depends on whether you believe medical coverage is a right or a privilege.
