[ChiciB1]

38. Only Problem With Laughing Is This... IT'S NOT THAT FUNNY! It's

screwing us and NOBODY CARES!!

[jonnyblitz]

41. you are correct. i shouldn't be laughing though I often do during

dark times as a coping mechanism.

[Bluebear]

46. Laugher has to be our best medicine, since real medicine is too expensive!

[jonnyblitz]

55. !!!

:hug:

[change_notfinetuning]

72. But, laughter will now have a co-pay. It's in the bill. n/t

[Frisbee]

91. I heard...

big pharma is pushing for an ammendment that will no longer allow laughing, unless it's on the way to the bank.

[TheEuclideanOne]

92. Laughung used to be a pre-existing condition

It may not be anymore.

[ihavenobias]

90. Ha, ha...

Awesome.

[spooked911]

85. people surely care-- unfortunately just not the ones in power

I suggest we start finding better politicians or even a better political party

[Joe Bacon]

88. Just wait for the bills to come.

Yes sirrreee! When people get their bills, when Union workers get the tax bills and when others lose their employer coverage and they see the bills coming there will be a rerun of the Medicare Catastrophic Care fiasco.

Frankly, I'm just waiting for the mob to chase LIEberman down the street the same way they chased Rostenkowski!

[ima_sinnic]

26. oh look, someone who likes to be robbed

I am interpreting your post as not being sarcasm, and I know it isn't.

[tkmorris]

30. Remember, not everyone is a robbee. there are robbers too.

[ima_sinnic]

33. ...

apparently some are on this board ?

[MissDeeds]

32. Maybe because

he's bought and paid for by them?

I can't believe this crap.

[Ken Burch]

66. News flash, dude:

The check CIGNA sent you for posting that BOUNCED!

You're gonna have to give the Beemer back.

Nicely done.

[Bluebear]

14. And WE are all buying it!

[TK421]

22. That's odd...I don't recall seeing any of these names on my Christmas list?

WTF?

[Laelth]

15. Well said.

Kill the bill.

Forcing people to buy insurance is no more the answer to a failed health care system than forcing people to buy houses is the solution to homelessness.

:dem:

[Greyhound]

16. LMAO! Thanks.

Good news is so rare any more, that these larfs are vital to mental health.

[TicketyBoo]

82. Sweet enough

for those in the corporate offices.

[MadHound]

21. Thanks for the laugh,

About the only one I've had concerning this train wreck.

[bvar22]

25. Well Done!

:patriot:

[DutchLiberal]

27. Dutch media constantly report this as a victory for the people...

They go on and on about "30 million people will be insured under this plan". What they never tell you, is that people are being forced to buy into private insurance. They are sooooooo in love with Obama, it's sickening.

[nichomachus]

87. No, it's just that people in Europe don't understand

how corrupt our system is. They really don't get it. I had a conversation with a friend in Spain the other day and, when I explained what was really going on, all she kept saying was "But that doesn't make any sense. But that doesn't make any sense."

[lpbk2713]

28. Well, there won't be any more disrupted town hall meetings any more.

There won't be near as many paid rabble rousers in attendance any more.

[Loudmxr]

76. That had not crossed my cynical mind.

WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE TEABAGGERS!! :tinfoilhat:

With no one to finance their bus rides and rallies they won't have any where to go no more. FOX will ignore them. They will be....alone.:cry:

No more misspellted signs. No more funny hats. No one BUT LAROUCHIES LEFT!!!!!

WE CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN. Its been to much fun to see them go back to being... nothing.:smoke:

[MessiahRp]

29. We're missing Humana in here as well.. :)

But great point. :)

35. Kinda makes me miss OMC

If anything, the guy was entertaining.

[rhett o rick]

37. Shouldnt you include Lieberman, Ben Nelson, Rahmbo, and Pres Obama? nt

[Bluebear]

39. That's implied :)

[rhett o rick]

43. Yes of course. Loved the OP. nt

[McCamy Taylor]

40. So true it makes me want to cry. Military Industrial Complex step aside.

There is a new sheriff in town, the Medical Industrial Complex. And it is about to get too big to fail.

[itsrobert]

42. Don't forget these companies when people cannot afford to pay:

[Wardoc]

44. Best. Thread. Ever!

[TiberiusGracchus]

45. Don't forget the REAL big winners: PhRMA

[harun]

61. I am not concerned if they win, they at least provide a useful product. Health Insurance

companies on the other hand provide nothing.

[Golden Raisin]

47. Did you call for pre-certification

before posting? Thanks for the laugh in the middle of this Beltway Healthcare fiasco.

[Raine]

48. Champagne corks are a popping

I'm sure. x(

[proud2BlibKansan]

49. LOL

Good one :rofl:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

50. Ben Nelson only thinks he's God....because our "leaders" told him so.

[EndElectoral]

51. Is this the Lieberman-Nelson bill, or the Insurance Company Stimulus Bill?

[dpbrown]

52. No kidding. What a great gift to the industries keeping us sick in the first place

Mandates my ass.

[bertman]

53. I was ready for a fight and now I'm LMAO. Excellent! Rec.

[pleah]

54. .....

:cry:

[IndianaGreen]

56. K&R GAWD loves capitalism!

Without the poor, we wouldn't have churches to read Bible stories about the poor.

[Blue_In_AK]

57. A voice from the grave....

:scared:

[boston bean]

58. You left off the Republican elite! nt

[SergeStorms]

81. No,

they're listed. They're just listed using their aliases, what the police call AKA (also known as). This applies to many Blue Dog and religiously insane Democrats as well. They're on the payroll of those companies in the guise of "political contributions".

[billyoc]

59. K&R

:rofl:

[Jefferson23]

60. OMG, you got me, very good, LOL

[Skittles]

62. YOU KNOW IT, PT

YES INDEED :(

[Jakes Progress]

63. Might as well laugh.

Crying won't help because they don't hear your pain in Washington.

[jillan]

64. Lol - it took me forever to click on this thread - I thought you were serious.

Thanks for the laugh!!

[Swamp Rat]

65. ... & others

[tnlefty]

67. Hillarious!

Memories, misty water colored memories :rofl:

except that in that case it would be the way we weren't.

[defendandprotect]

68. Somehow they overlooked how America HATES insurance companies . ..!!!

Just didn't somehow notice it ... that's all!!!

[rollingrock]

69. Their stocks have been way up since November

on average about 12%.

when the bill passes, I expect to see their stock prices really take off and go through the roof.

[femrap]

70. Too funny

I'm wondering how much my premiums will increase from those Blue 'non profit' people. Already a $5,000 deductible and 80/20 after that for over $225/month.

May they choke on green paper.....and die

[flygal]

75. ah Bluebear

the first post I clicked on this morning - knew it would be a good one from you. Kind of like during the 2000 election I had to turn off CNN and get my news from the Daily Show.

[democrank]

77. K & R

Let`s hear it for good old corporate branding.

[datasuspect]

78. it will be a xmas miracle for rich people in the insurance industry and their congressional pets

[Goldstein1984]

94. And a lump of coal in the the stockings of the people

[stewartcolbert08]

79. I am heartbroken

by this bullshit bill.

[Blasphemer]

80. Laugh or cry? Or both? Sigh... nt

[midnight]

83. Those voting for this giveaway don't have to use this corporate quilt to find

medical help..... We should demand this vote be opened up to us.... We need to vote on this.

[RoccoR5955]

86. The only thing that we can hope for from this is

a revolution!

[Clear Blue Sky]

89. Bingo. Christmas presents for the insurance industry. Coal for the rest of us.

[Goldstein1984]

95. Spot on! Thank you.

The polls sent a clear message.

If this passes, there is no better proof that Congress and the Administration are not listening to the people.

[mix]

96. LMAO

that's my first lmao and first ever all caps subject line!
