Obama Sticks with Broad Health-Insurance Overhaul
“There had been rampant speculation that the White House would narrow its ambitions for health-care legislation after the loss of the Democrats’ filibuster-proof Senate majority last month.

The more they try to ram this down our throats, the more I wonder if this isn’t just one more item on the checklist to total control of us serfs. If they pass this, I would hope for massive peaceful civil disobedience, ie: refusal to participate. I guess we’ll see if the tea partiers really mean business.
