I'm reluctant to post only because I believe this is one of the few things I'm *not* supposed to talk about at Rush (haha, I'm getting into that mode..). But here goes.

Ladies..and gentlemen...please, please trust Federalism. Already, 37 (or 39?) states have filed suit against the national government. The balance between the national and state powers has not been struck and many states are upset (rightfully so) concerning the passage of this bill and the powers given to the national government under it.
Also remember that voters have the power to change things. If you do not like how the legislation is going, please, feel free to change your votes this November and do not re-elect either your Congresspeople (most importantly - the House...because these folks set legislation as to how the people should be taxed - they are representing you and your beliefs). The reverse goes for if you like the outcome to the healthcare bill.
I can't form a complete opinion on the bill because I haven't read its >1,000 pages, and, as Ms. Pelosi once said (something to the effect of) we wouldn't know exactly what we were passing until we've passed it, and I haven't even taken a shot at the legal jargon that's presented in it. Does any normal, working person have the time to?
I do have an opinion as far as the legislation goes. The fact it passed by such a slim margin disturbs me. I feel uncomfortable with that. The politics that are going into this bill (and disregard for the people or the deficeit) concern me, though.
Only time will tell..
