"PELOSI: OBAMACARE MEANS FREEDOM TO 'FOLLOW YOUR PASSION'"
For Pelosi and the dems (& RINOs) --passion is:
Getting that abortion,
Getting that sex change you've always wanted,
Getting free testing for venereal diseases,
Getting free condoms for sex with the same sex,
Getting something that someone else paid for,
Getting a HIGHER deductible, 5x's higher,
Getting TWICE the out-of-pocket expenses after losing previous ins.,
Getting a NEW doctor after losing the one you've had over a decade,
Getting an exchange instead of the policy you LOVED,
Getting LESS work hours,
Getting no full time job offers,
and getting things like that!
Feel free to list more gettings if I've missed them.

The enemy speaks again.

If your "passion" is to be an unemployable illegal alien living on welfare and food stamps, Aunt Nancy Wants You... for the Democrat Army.

Welcome to the brave new world, where truth is a lie, slavery is freedom, up is down and wrong is right.
And "Arbeit Macht Frei"...
-
Only if your passion is standing in soup and bread lines, a la the Great Depression, or Soviet Russia.

We won't be following our passions or anything else if we're lying in our beds dying of some disease the death panel says doesn't warrant medical treatment.

Actually Lady Cassandra, it is just the opposite. Obamacare means your best option to stay legal under the law is to limit yourself to working for a large corporation or union that provides some of the one-size-fits-all plans you mandate or go on a government program that is priced above most average folks 'following your passion'. Someone who wants to star their own business, well they are out of luck if they want to shop around for a different type of medical plan that meets their needs. They all have to meet the same criteria thus no competition keeping prices down. If you have the passion to expand your business, well you are s*** out of luck to if you dare meet the 50 employee threshold.
Heck, what about the artist or musician she often uses in an example. I'm sure they would love to be on medicare because that will be the only option for them.
Yea Nancy, following your passion. Maybe it is just your passion to keep as many people dependent on the government as possible.
