Should this (!@#$%^&*~`<>?,./:"{}|;'[]\-=_+),idiot bill is passed, when will it go into effect? And will there be a way to keep it there PERMANENTLY? And until then can it STILL be stopped BEFORE it starts?

It's a big mess so we all have to draw on various sources, but from what I understand...

Reid's bill draws revenues for 4 years and provides services for six years. Of course, it goes beyond that, but they are largely focusing on the first ten years to explain how it will be implemented. It doesn't start until 2014 (unlike Pelosi's bill which starts in 2013). It sounds to me like they will start drawing revenues immediately, setting up the infrastructure, etc. After four years of drawing revenues and such, then the payout/benefit services start kicking in in 2014.

Suppose there is a huge upset in the 2012 Presidential election. Even if the new leaders (some from the 2010 elections) wanted to repeal this bill, how could they since revenues have already been collected for two years and infrastructure has been built? It will be a nightmare. They might be able to change it a bit, but I would expect that it cannot be repealed entirely.

THE RUSH TO GET A VOTE ON THIS BILL; THE COMPLETE LACK OF DETAIL; THE INSISTENCE ON ABORTION ,;ON JAILING ANYONE WHO DECLINES TO SIGN UP ;THE HUMONGOUS COST, WHEN OUR OBAMA INDUCED DEBT IS ALREADY STAGGERING; THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN A PLAN TO RE LIGATE OUR COUNTRY TO SECOND RATE GOVERNMENT BY SOCIALISTS. DON'T THEY REMEMBER HOW REGAN BANK-
RUPTED THE RUSSIANS?

The bill can absolutely be repealed, and the collected revenues refunded. As we are currently witnessing, Congress can do whatever it has the votes to do. Let's work to install members of congress who will live by the Constitution and are conservative.

the republicans should run in 2010 on repealing all the socialist programs that Obama enacted virtually by fiat over the objections of the vast majority of americans, and use the collected revenues to pay down the national debt.

And they could point out that this is legal activity. If Sarah gets in, she will boot the criminals...

It was said the plan won't go into effect until at least 2013 or 2014, a contract to G E for the electronic setup is supposed to start the program before hand. In other words they are greasing the pockets of their benefactors first, like Soros, SEIU and GE. SEIU will get the contract for it's workers first, what's left over will go to pay contracted amounts under the plan. Looks like the plan will be milked about 10 to 20 billion before it's even set up, after, about 50 billion will be the cost just for the set up. By the time the plan is ready to go almost 100 billion will disappear from the budget.

Tom, many states are in the process of passing their own laws to nullify the fed.'s bill. My state of Montana is one of about 20 states in the process of doing this. We just had a meeting 2 weeks ago with several of our state senators to let them tell us what they are working on at the state level. I urge you to look into your own state's planning.
