Kill The Bill because....
...well, republicans and teabaggers still have no idea. Looking back, its amazing to see the lack of thought that has gone against the bill. Mostly propaganda, and in the end, it showed its true colors. Hate mongering. Honestly, it was this type of behavior that pushed me away fro the republican party. Simply put, they have way to many bigots and morons in the party that overshadow any type of interest to associate with the party. Perhaps they could clean house...someday. but that day is no time soon. It seems the longer president Obama is in the house, the chance of the Dems scaring away the hippies and tree huggers is becoming a reality. Could the Republicans manage the same with their problem with the bigots in their group?

You're confused, buddy. There are plenty of statistics out there to give adequate cause for "killing the bill." Sure, it may be good for you personally, but it's not good for the country as a whole. Taxes will go up. Premiums will go up. The rate of doctors leaving the profession will go up. These aren't just talking points like you're probably thinking; they're facts from polls and the bill itself. Do some homework and you'll see it's not hard to find.
Here's one thing for you to look at...

How many times doe you see "cuts to medicare" or "new taxes" being initiated in that timeline?
By the way, I put your Spartans pretty far in my bracket this year. Good luck to your team!
Hmmm, my taxes won't go up over the bill (can't say I'm the tanning salon type)...Premiums, yup they will indeed go up...oh wait, they already did. In fact, thanks to the glorious unemployment rate we have, the health insurance companies lost many clients. So, how did they make up for the loss...raised premiums. If only people that already have a health plan...had another option to turn to...something to offer some competition...like, a public plan. Now that would have been nice. Too bad, its not in the bill.
Doctors leaving the profession? Doubt that, not in this economy!
Okay, about those unemployment rates going up... didn't your boy Obama promise they would peak at 8? I work in healthcare and know for a fact that the majority of "uninsured Americans" are those 20-34 years old who choose to be that way since they don't have any health issues to worry about for the most part. They'd just assume save that money and spend it on something else they want. It's a CHOICE!!! Aren't liberals for choice? Why doesn't the government buy me a boat even though I have chosen not to have one? Or a steak dinner every night?
Sorry, buddy, your defense is weak at best.
I doubt Obama, could make a promise like that, given unemployment was at 7.7 when he officially took office in Jan. Romer & Beernstein made a "prediction" about not going over 8%, but that was taken out of context. Obama did say his stim would save and create jobs, but wouldn't be measurable until 2011.
As for 20-34 year olds, that demographic makes use of the system, more then they know. That's the common age for birthing (mine was a $75,000 bill for just one kid), H1N1 has effecting that age group, go to an ER on a Friday night and you'll find lots of 20-30 year olds (at least in a college town).
That's also the age that can detect and prevent ailments that will effect them later in life. Take thyroid conditions that effect 10% of these 20-34 year olds. Sure, they're fine at present if left unchecked, but you can bet they'll be mooching off the current system later in life, due to other side effects from the original problem.
All arguments are weak regarding health care reform, that's the nature of this beast. Too many moving parts, where one good argument can get countered by 2 other good arguments. I'm personally glad people that mooch the system (doesn't include the poor) will now have a level of accountability.
