From the ludicrous concept that imposing steep taxes upon on insurance policies would somehow increase competition to the mandate that Americans who fail to obtain coverage would be forced to pay a penalty or face up to one year in jail.

During the Senate markup process, Senator John Ensign (R-Nev.) questioned the concept of penalties imposed against those who failed to obtain coverage and the potential consequences.

I have this sinking fear that Obama and his minions will try and pull a some stunt in an attempt to cancel the 2010 elections. They will not succeed, but I truly believe they will try.

Jail, huh?
Lets’s see.
Free housing.
Free food.
Free medical care.
Free dental.
Free legal council.
Free access to gym facilities.
No undo tax liability.
And a myriad of other “benefits”.

Where do I refuse to sign-up?

That would be a hardship on those poor people
who said, “a photo ID to vote would also be a hardship.”

Oh, the humanity!

You know wha would really be a hoot ?

Every healthy person drop health care period it would break the government system they would scurry for the corners in fear because then they would have nothing to hold over the insurance company's heads premiums would drop through the floor and insurance would be like water so fluid you could swim in it the Government couldn't even come close to keeping up with it they would go completely broke trying to get special interest to bite on something that isn't there !
