You have to really follow teh audacity here. He is going to make everything cost more, he’s going to screw up the sytem, and he’s actually talking about you daring to take a “free ride” on the train wreck!

And Mr. Prez, everybody does NOT have to buy car insurance. Our cities are full of millions who don’t drive.

***Since when did he get so concerned about people “riding the system” and not paying their own way?***

So we can expect a new School lunch program insurance, Food stamp insurance and Rent subsidy insurance bill?

That still leaves a clothing insurance program pending?

“What are you here for?”

“Armed robbery. You?”

“No health insurance”

But he finds nothing wrong with deducting 20% from working Americans pay checks to pay for all those who will get insurance free...

And that premium is not based on level of coverage - whether you, because of a higher paycheck, pay a much higher chunk that someone with a less paying job - you both get the same coverage.

And the red herring about equating in with auto insurance - it is NOT the federal gov’t who forces auto insurance on us or decides what the cost will be or takes it from our paychecks - AND we are NOT required to have auto insurance on ourselves or our vehicles - only liability to protect those we may cause damage to.

Whole different ball of wax. Obummer knows it - it's just his blatant disdain for the intelligence of the American people - which, in a great percentage of cases, is, I guess, justified. After all, the people elected HIM, didn't they?

Yeah, he’s really concerned. Tell that to the couple buying jumbo shrimp and sushi with an independence card in front of me last night at Wal-Mart. While I bought my store-brand shredded wheat.

“What are you here for?”

“Armed robbery. You?”

“No health insurance”

...........and then all the murderers, rapists and drug dealers slowly moved away to the other side of room; Very slowly........

Do they get put in jail before they are treated for their health problem or after?

“Curious he should use the phrase “free ride” considering he’s been on one his whole life.”

Exactly.

I had no idea that FOOD STAMP DEBT CARDS were called Independence Cards - you can’t be serious????????

Should be called DEPENDENCY CARDS or GIFT CARDS from your hard working neighbor, the TAX PAYER!!!

Obama doesn't (again) know what he's talking about. Same with Pelosi.

First of all, this bill should not pass the Senate, but if it does.......it can never be implemented. And in certain areas of the USA if they attempt to press any kind of jail time (LOL), they won't have the available room to jail anyone.

Very true. And the appropriate penalty is NO MEDICAL CARE.

Damn! I totally missed the brilliance of the Federal Health Care Bill.

ergo: Any person who does not have Medicare, Medicaid, Employer or private insurance will not dare try to get medical treatment. They will either self-medicate and get better OR get worse and die.

Persons too dumb to figure this out will go to jail and be billed for room & board & jailhouse health care.

Problem solved.

How many free ride illegals that we pay for are going to be jailed.

None, illegals are exempt from all penalties in the new bill.
