GOVERMENT SHUTDOWN IS OVER

GOOD NEWS FOR ALL THE VISA JOURNEY

WASHINGTON -- The government shutdown is dead. Obama-care is alive.

The Senate voted 81 to 18 Wednesday night to reopen the federal government and raise the nation's borrowing limit, hours before the Treasury Department faced the possibility of being unable to pay all of America's bills for the first time in modern history.

The House followed suit, voting 285-144, to end the latest damaging battle of divided government in a polarized Congress.

President Barack Obama signed the legislation early Thursday. He said he would reopen the government immediately to "lift this cloud of uncertainty and unease" that settled on the nation and start fixing the damage.

"There is a lot of work ahead of us, including our need to earn back the trust of the American people that has been lost over the last few weeks," Obama said in a brief speech at the White House.

Obamacare is a farce, it is the government telling you and me what to do! Obama was suppose to be a good president but all he has done is give away our tax dollars and divide our country. His obamacare only helps insurance companies(more money for them because they will refuse to pay) and hospitals/doctors(which overcharge for everything i.e a meal cost the average patient 58 dollars..one meal!) and what does it do for us it takes more money out of our pockets..I checked on obamacare....just for me not my family is almost 400 dollars a month, that is a flipping house payment! I refuse to pay that much for something i may/will never use! when i added my wife to it, it doubled,,#######! affordable health care my a$$...it is legalized stealing of your hard earned money! I would like to know for the record one thing obama has done for this country that has not costed the taxpayer more money...just one.

If you already have insurance through your employer you do not need to get insurance through the ACA. Obamacare is meant to make sure everyone has medical insurance, so people like me and others who have medical insurance don't have to pay 58 dollars for one meal, as you say yourself. The reason a meal cost $58 dollars is because there are millions of deadbeats in this country who belive someone else should pay their medical bills. They seek treatment when they need it and leave the bill for the rest of us to pay.

If the ACA were a bad idea, car insurance would be optional.

Personal responsibility sucks, right?

Obamacare is about one simple thing: more transfer of power to the imperialistic federal government. Their insatiable appetite for power will continue to degrade the value of the U.S. Constitution. I still sit sometimes and shake my head and wonder why I devoted 6 years of my life to defending this nation as a member of the U.S. Army when I see the direction it is headed.
