Sorry, you're not allowed to buy a pony because you had a pre-existing condition. I know you have the money for a pony, and yes, there are ponies for sale. Just not to you.

No free ponies. No free health care either. Guess you were listening to Beck again. Glad they got that "fast sale" over with. It's been going on for almost a year now.

Not to worry. The drafters of the bill conveniently wrote themselves out of having to participate. The people "must" participate, while congress and other "may" participate.

If this is so wonderful and glorious an occasion for all, why do you think that was???
