Endless black hole

My mind and heart fell into an abyss of sadness for my country last night when my husband woke me and shared the news that the health-care bill had passed the House. If this bill passes the Senate, how many people will not be able to even feed their children because they have been forced to pay a 2.5 to 5 percent tax, and then buy a policy that costs $15,000. If you don't have that money to buy their policy, you will go to jail. If the parents are in jail, the kids go where?

This is a black hole that will never end.
