   It is all part of Obama’s plan to destroy America.
   destroy health care.
   Destroy the energy supplies that drive business.
   Destroy the financial institutions.
   Release the terrorists.
   Let all the work accomplished in Iraq collapse
   Prosecute the heroes that prevented further attacks against the USA.
   It all fits IF Obama’s goals are the total destruction of everything American and every principle our Founding Fathers fought and died for.
   It is the ONLY explanation because NOBODY is that STUPID by accident. (Except possibly those who voted for Obama.)

   It won’t eliminate 1,000,000 jobs. Under the health care plan, there will still be insurance companies, not only providing private health insurance, but also auto, home, renters, life, and other insurances. That said, I personally don’t think we should waste trilliions of dollars funding a middle man (the insurance industry). Besides that, I have more compassion for the sick and infirm than I have for the insurance industry.

   As I perceive it the hardest place to install E-Verify, 287 G, or even directing ICE to raid employers is Sanctuary Cities and even States? CALIFORNIA seems to be the epitome of Sanctuary States, but it is estimated to be 127 cities and towns that ignore the US government. San Francisco and Los Angeles stands out as being Sanctuary cities where it’s mayors Galvin Newsom and Antonio R. Villaraigosa, along with an compliment of police departments who have cultivated over the years a refuge for the impoverished illegal immigrants, illegal criminal of other countries. Very few businesses have enforced E-Verify, because at this time there is no mandatory law, except for federal contractors/subcontractors. Sen. Sessions has at this time been the fortress against illegal immigration through the Bush and now President Obama administrations. He is determined to adjoin E-Verify as a permanent amendment to the Senate Unemployment benefit extension bill H.R.3548 for 14 weeks. In the same amendment Sen. Sessions would require new applicants for unemployment compensation to have their citizenship status verified using E-Verify. The computer software program E-Verify could also be used for identifying applicants for drivers licenses, automotive insurance, all health care benefits, real estate purchases and mortgage and of course ineligible workers. Even the Public option if enacted in health care could be used to verify all positive recipients and over time become a very sophisticated matrix of data bases to reject ineligible applicants for government benefits.

   Senate leaders are currently negotiating which amendments will be considered for the bill, and Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is trying to prevent a vote on the amendment altogether. E-Verify is becoming a significant potent weapon against illegal immigration in the ongoing battle. It has come under constant legal bombardment by a long list of open border organizations, including the US chamber of Commerce. E-Verify however remains intact, although other enforcement tools such as 287 G, has been weakened by Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano. Without millions of dollars being appropriated, E-Verify on a continuous basis can eradicate illegal labor for pennies. No need for mass deportation as E-Verify will streamline removal of foreign nationals, owing to parasite businesses will be in incessant fear of being fined or sentenced to a prison term if apprehended by ICE for using illegal workers. As with 2010 census? Those who entered without–THE PEOPLE’S–permission, have violated our laws, and should not, must not be allowed to be enumerated in the decennial census? Is Washington so sure that they will pass this 2nd Amnesty, when Ted Kennedy previous comprehensive immigration reform turned into fraudulent travesty?

   Ordinary American workers have become watchdogs for suspicious activity in the working environment.

   Healthcare since so many people suffer as a result of it (or more accurately, a lack of it). But that’s not even a valid question since more jobs would be created under true universal healthcare (they probably would under the current bills going through Congress as well, but they’re not what I support, so they’re not what I’m going to argue in favor of) due to the jobs that must be done in order to provide such care being required to run such a system whether its maintained and funded by private insurance companies or the government. The only jobs that would be lost under such a system are those that deal with denying people’s claims and refusing to cover them (and the bureaucracy that’s required to do so) in order to make the largest profits possible for the insurance companies’ highest paid executives and these would be made up for by those additional jobs that are created in order to cover those who currently don’t have coverage.

   Of the 45 million, (and I think that # is over blown), how many are illegal aliens, and how many are people who could work and buy their own health insurance but won’t! I say kick the illegals out, put the slackers to work, and then medicare can take care of the rest, we’re already paying for that, aren’t we?

   There it is in a nutshell, You see when we put those people out of work, and shut down those businesses, now those people are all reliant on the government to live. More power. when you strip away the bs and the shiny venier, its all about POWER. Cash for clunkers was about power, this is about power. its all power.

   you think all the Insurance companies and HMO’s are gonna close shop? I’d actually be for it, maybe then we could get acceptable health care. But it wont happen, not anytime soon unfortunately.

   To have health care, and by the way if you are not insured in US and you don’t have money, you die.

   I’m part of the 45 million uninsured and I have good health care.
   I choose to not have insurance.
   So what the **** are you talking about?

    No one is eliminating 1 million jobs and an industry in providing an affordable health insurance option.
    The fear mongering is WEAK.
