Obama Signs Bill, Communism Ensues

Against what appeared at times to be overwhelming odds, president Obama signed the health care bill today. Conservative lawmakers have immediately begun their campaign to repeal the bill before dissatisfied Americans realize that improving health care coverage and regulating private insurance will not, contrary to conventional wisdom, singlehandedly destroy America.

Michelle Bachmann has proposed a formal measure to repeal the infant bill, and Attorneys General in 14 states have filed suit, claiming the portion of the bill which mandates that most Americans have insurance is unconstitutionally coercive. This seems like a reasonable use of their time. Reuters has more.

    TM, if you’ll take a look at some of the other articles on Healthcare Outsider, you’ll notice that we aim to have as little political slant as possible. If you read the article, you’ll hopefully recognize that title “Obama Signs Health Care Bill – Communism Ensues” is a cynical one, and I intended it as a lighthearted jab those that actually claim the health care bill is an omen of a communist takeover. If you read the article again and don’t think it’s clear enough, let me know.
