We finished the discussion on Health care reform. Mr. Bruns will be gone tomorrow so we have a work day. One of the big things is people with pre existing conditions will be eligable for health care. By 2014 you will have to have health care or you will be fined. Most of this stuff comes into effect in 2014 and personally I don't think its going to work very well or at least not as well as they think it will. We didn't do presentations today because half of this class is gone today because of tennis and golf. Rpublicans and other americans are against this bill because this is basically a socialist system, and they are taxing people who make 250,000 a year, and I really dont agree with it because it will put us in massive debt, and it basically enables people on welfare who don't have it to not have to get a job and keep living off government. Then we talked about the flat world. We couldn't get the movie to work. QUESTIONS:
