Unbelievably, I saw a report about the assclown’s terrible health law in the normally subservient Miami Florida media....amazing.

This brings up one of the creepyest aspects of this thing, for me: They are not just saying you have insurance. They are micromanaging the quality of said insurance you have to have.

I heard, years ago, that depending on your income level, the best insurance was between $5,000 and $10,000 deductible. Insurance is supposed to protect you from CATASTROPHIC hits to your finances. It is why LLoyd’s of London came into existence, for crying out loud.

Obamacare is forcing something on us that, in a very real way, has always been a rather irresponsible expenditure of your funds. It went south when companies stared offering it as an employment benefit. And they did that because the government enacted a wage freeze and this was the way companies got around that to entice good employees.

i.e. this whole mess was caused by the government and now they are using it to micromanage our lives. It is pathetic and insulting.

So people who can't afford insurance in the first place will be forced to the "bronze" plans, which have lower premiums, but they'll have to pay higher out-of-pocket costs...up to 40% (whatever that means).

How will today's mentality of "healthcare grows on trees," and should be free to anyone out for a stroll, align with paying for these out-of-pocket costs? The sheep are going to be so surprised--they accepted a dinner invitation to the wolf's house, not realizing they were the main course.

Many plans don’t currently offer those benefits.”

And what about those of us who choose not to have or pay for such a wide array of services through our insurance? I not only don’t want them but I don’t want to pay for them for other people.

All I want is to be able to keep my present policy which I’ve had for several years. High deductible, primarily in case I have to go in the hospital. Already been told it will no longer be available. What happened to real options and freedom of choice?

Obamacare does not meet it’s own standards.

This whole Obamacare mess is meant to destroy private insurance.

Note, down in the bowels of the article, that “subsidies” are mentioned. I presume these are subsidies picked off the Subsidy Bushes that grow in the Federal Forest. Other taxonomies of this wonderful forest are “Grant Trees,” “Foreign Aid Thickets,” “Stimulus Bogs” (similar to cranberry bogs, though not exactly like), and “EBT Hedges.”

The plants that grow in the Federal Forest are marvelous. While their fruits have the individual names above, they are know collectively as “Funds,” or “Revenue,” and, in their immature state, as “Taxes.” Federal Workers harvest these fruits, and send them through an amazing distribution channel so that they can arrive, just at the peak of perfection, to the “Account” or, temporary storage area, of “Needy Americans,” “Temporary Americans,” and a host of “Never-To-Be Americans.”

But, that is the wonder of the Federal Forest...it is for all to enjoy the fruits thereof.

If there is a drawback, it is a small one. It is only that the Federal Forest is watered by the sweat of those who are still called “Working Americans.” One other niggling item (can I still use that word, niggling?); Because of the thick canopy in the Federal Forest the only fertilizer that works well is called “Hard Work.” It is generated, too, by those “Working Americans” who contribute their sweat for irrigation. Too much “Hard Work” contributed by any “Working American” can bring on “Early Release From Taxpayer Status” (that’s a term used by those “Federal Workers” to denote the status a “Working American” who dies young). Unfortunately, those “ERFTS Working Americans” can no longer contribute their “Fair Share,” another word for quota, of “Sweat” and “Hard Work,” but, there is a plan to give them a last opportunity to do so: the “Inheritance Tax” is expected to play a larger part in keeping the Federal Forest healthy and productive.

If you are over 70 and have a problem, they will put you on an ice flow and let you go. You won't get any help to live. So says the "Death Panel" that no one admits is there.

The expensive treatments you think you will get are gone now. All the money is spent in your last days so they will just make sure it's your last days.

Why do men have to pay for maternity care?
