0bamaCare will seize up the health care system like a handful of gravel poured into the carburetor of a running engine.
The best and brightest in US health care will probably migrate to the Caribbean where wealthy patients can access fairly easily.
You could always go on strike. Don’t work, don’t pay. See who loses nerve first. I bet the govt will, given enough Americans with backbone.
Hey, we all just stop working and we get free health care, probably free cars, free education, free food, free housing and free Spanish lessons.
The collapse of America as I see it.
In other words, what do they get for that "penalty" premium and how much of their butts are left hanging out, exposed to the personal out of pocket at time of service? A "Bronze" plan must, by any common denomiator, provide less coverage than the other three metalic grades of plans!
What's left uncovered in spite of a $20,000.00 annual "penalty"/tax??? BOHICA!!!
Oh! And what's the annual salary of that IRS agent who checks your tax returns to see if you either paid enough for private insurance or paid the right "penalty" instead? I'm sure it's more than 5 times the minimum "penalty" rate!!!
Also, regarding drawbacks of being a Medicaid patient, I have seen first-hand (a close relative), who was discharged from the hospital at the drop of a hat (much too soon), even when involved in a high-risk pregnancy, considerable pain, low blood pressure, swollen extremities, etc. The medical staff, although very competent and caring, said they had no choice due to new rules regarding Medicaid patients.
Dear King Obama,
Darn. May I have permission to ask you a question about your healthcare bill?
Very truly your stooge,
Mitzi McConnell
300Mil Americans / 4 * 20,000 = $1.5Trillion
Current spending is $2.7Trillion
Medicare is about $600B
$1.5 Trillion + 600B = $2.1Trillion
So there’s roughly $600B in fees and co pays to get to break even.
so are we really spending an aggregate of approximately $35k - $40k per family of 4 NOW??
Where is all this money going?
(just a rhetorical question)
I know what it’s like to pay that kind of money for health insurance. The Country will go into shock if that cost hits home for most every family.
You have brilliantly proved that great humor is grounded in the truth! :-D
Someday it will really suck to be Obama
I only pray I live long enough to see it.
And the insurance companies supported their own doom. Idjits.
Ok....with a family of 5 as stated
” 300Mil Americans / 5 * 20,000 = $1.2 Trillion “
Leaves more money for fees etc. rhetorical question the same
It’s what the sheeple were told by the TV that they wanted, so they voted for it.
I’m completely out of sympathy for the stupid and uninformed now.
The collapse of America as I see it.”

I think you're right!
There will come a point where the Producers tell the Takers to go F off! Many Producers will see the benefits in becoming Takers. These idiots haven't even begun to consider the unintended consequences.
Oh, and chaos is only good if the Dictator can control it. If you doubt me, ask Nicolae Ceausescu.
Unless I missed something I think that $20k per family is for premiums that go to private insurers not into the Treasury.
I hope at the appropriate time Mr. Smith introduces legislation requiring Congress, the Administration and the Judiciary to be subject to the same healthcare legislation as the proletariat.
Just what would you like them to do? Better yet, what power would you like them to use to change this?
