so when am I getting my free health care since this bill has passed my health insurance has been out for 3 years now.. .

Well it has to pass in the Senate now. Then you’ll get it. And I hate to break it to you, but it won’t be free. Taxes will go up somewhere and effect you somehow. I’m ok with that as long as I’m getting something for it, right?

I will not waste time with those who have made the calculation that it’s better politics to kill this plan than improve it.

And I will not accept the status quo as a solution. Not this time. Not now.
