If any republican thinks legalizing illegal aliens will get them votes they are a fool. The majority will vote democrat because of the government benefits democrats always give away as bribes. Cubans are the exception and vote republican because they've lived under socialism and understand what it's like.

If this turns into the Iraq war that made no sense from the start then please call me out on it.Since there are serious economic people who believe this will reduce the deficit who are basing their opinions on stronger evidence the "we will be greeted as liberators" I'm ok with my stance.No blind faith here.

The massive health care mandate that came out of Washington, D.C. late Sunday marked a sad day for democracy. Americans had expressed their opposition against this bill over and over again, but Washington ignored them. The bottom line is that this is a bad bill for Louisiana and a bad bill for America.
Unfortunately, Washington ignored a real opportunity to lower health care costs for our citizens and instead passed a $1.2 trillion spending bill at a time of record deficits. Only in Washington is a new trillion-dollar spending bill a way to save money. In times of economic challenges and record deficits, government needs to cut spending and taxes, not dramatically increase them. Indeed, the actual costs of the bill will be around $2.4 trillion because much of the spending in the bill kicks in after years of higher taxes.
But, it doesn’t end there. The bill also imposes new taxes totaling $569.2 billion on Americans, raises taxes on medical products, and cuts more than half a trillion dollars from the Medicare program that supports our seniors. Additionally, this legislation significantly cuts our state’s public hospital funding, following a previous federal $200 million cut to public and rural hospital funds.
Early estimates from the Department of Health and Hospitals show that the bill will cost our state around $345 million a year, starting the first year of the full 10 percent state match. Our state will be forced to absorb this cost and will have to add 360,000 new Medicaid enrollees in the Medicaid program. These additional enrollees don’t include the unknown number of people that are eligible for Medicaid today but not enrolled in the program. Under this new mandate, all of those individuals would also be required to join Medicaid.
There is also the issue that the bill’s mandate on all Americans to buy health insurance is in conflict with the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which preserves rights to individuals and states that are not prescribed to the federal government. We have already began working with our Louisiana Attorney General to join with other states in asserting the constitutional rights of our citizens under this amendment, which protects them against a federal requirement to purchase a certain product. For the first time in our country’s history, Congress is saying there would be a requirement to purchase a particular product, good or service as a requirement to be a citizen of the United States of America.
This bill also paves the way for taxpayer funding of elective abortions, making an end-run around a law that has prevented this from happening for years. We have already started working to pass a law in the upcoming legislative session that will opt the state out of using Louisiana taxpayer money to fund elective abortions in the state’s purchasing exchange, created under the bill.
Not only did Washington miss a real opportunity to lower health care costs and improve our system, they could have also done it in a bipartisan manner with broad support. In fact, I have previously outlined several bipartisan reforms that would improve health care access and quality for Americans. These include more consumer choice guided by transparency where patients can easily view pricing and performance data online; Aligning consumer interests by investing patients into their own improved care; Ending the practice of defensive medicine, which costs an estimated $100 billion a year, through medical lawsuit reform; Reforming insurance through high-risk pools and increased portability of insurance; Allowing small businesses to pool their risks to get lower insurance rates; Creating integrated networks of care, and creating refundable tax credits that help low-income working Americans afford care.
As we continue to comb through the thousands of pages of this legislation, we will get a better idea of what it will cost our state and our people and what other strings are attached. Our focus remains on taking whatever actions we can to protect our people from the harmful effects of this legislation.
Bobby Jindal is governor of Louisiana.

I love that the first paragraph states that the bill is bad for america and the last paragraph admits they havent read the whole thing.Typical republican bullshit.To bad that the guy who wrote thats skin tone isnt desirable to the republican party voters or else you might have had a challenger to Obama in 2012.
Did you see that 25% of republicans think Obama may be the antichrist?Thats a true statistic.If a quarter of a group I belonged to were bat shit insane I'd maybe think about getting out of that group.

I find it amusing that most of the Republican congress has enjoyed insurance ran by the government for years without problems but don't think it's good enough for their constituents.
