So for those keeping score:
Democratic accomplishment: Reforming health care.
Republican accomplishment: blocking Pell grant money for low income students.
Dem accomplishment: Passing crap.
Rep accomplishment: Flailing about.
The best shot at overturning this is in the courts.
I believe if the SCOTUS invalidates the mandate, it invalidates the entire law. Of course, what this means is that the people with children with pre-existing conditions, children age 26 and under covered by their parent's health care plan, etc., will have their coverage rescinded (by the insurance company I might add).If that's the best shot, then there is not much of a chance it gets overturned
And if individual mandate gets shot down, insurance companies cannot survive, because they have to let people in with pre-existing conditions, and people will just wait till they get sick to buy insurance. So, USSC, go ahead, make our day. Single payer is next.

Believe or not, not all parents want to throw their children to wolves when they turn 18.How the fuck are people in their mid-twenties "children". Sounds like they need to grow up if they are still on mommy and daddy's insurance

How about we let the parents decide when they want to stop supporting their children?Lets compromise then. Hows 22 sound?
Quote me now then. After these fall elections Pelosi is out, Boehner is in.

I'm glad I don't live in your particularly delusional world, but I'm happy to quote you on this.
Since you are so certain, how about, say, a $500 bet on the outcome of those elections, to be held by a mutually agreed upon third party.
After all, you're from the party of personal responsibility, aren't you?
That's why there should a (short) waiting time for the insurance policy to kick in, like with employer provided health insurance.All insurance companies I have had do(did) cover preexisting conditions, even if it's after 6 months of being on the plan if you didn't have insurance before, one covered them immediately as long as you weren't without insurance for 3 months, some times may vary, but the point is that the parents should be responsible and not wait until their kids get sick to insure them. How exactly would an insurance company be able to survive and conduct business if everyone just waited until they got sick to get insurance? No one paying into the insurance until it's time for them to pay out is a guaranteed failure. People seem to feel they are just entitled to whatever they need, that is not correct.

They are paying for it.Why should the parents get to decide if they want everyone else to pay for their insurance? If they want to insure them until they are 50, whatever, as long as THEY pay for it.
Despite all the obstruction and grandstanding by the GOP, the senate defeats all their amendments and passes the bill with only two minor changes on parlamentary issues with the student loan portion of the bill. Pelosi says the house will vote and pass it by the end of the day wrapping up Congresses work on the bill

Thank god we can almost put this nasty chapter of American politics behind us
You have elections plural. You betting on reids seat, or just R takeover of the house?
Quote me now then. After these fall elections Pelosi is out, Boehner is in.
You think the nastiness from both sides is over?
Pssst.....wanna buy a bridge?
So do you call males living with their mommy and daddy at 25 boys, and those at that age living independently, men?
I'm challenging you to a bet on EXACTLY what you predicted, that the Repubs would take over the House majority. Stop weaseling, you surely can't be THAT reading comp challenged.
HERE, I'll quote you AGAIN on EXACTLY what I'm challenging you to a bet on:
