Have a neighbor up the road from me (liberal with a capital L) had a bumper sticker reading “Free Healthcare For All” - now that 0bamaCare is in, that sticker is gone. Nice folks though.

Most Canadians I’ve met have been honest enough to admit that their healthcare is not “free”. They pay a boatload of taxes for it.

I want to make a bumper sticker:

If you voted for Obama- You suck.

Neighbor must be ashamed of his/her own stupidity and doesn’t want anyone to know JUST how stupid he/she was...or else, that bumper sticker would be ‘front and center’ to this day!

The people who voted for either Obama or Romney also have another problem.

People like me are going to jeer at them and point out to them and their loved ones that they earned what they are getting by voting for them.

I will not shut up and I will point out to their loved ones that they really, really need to focus on repealing this mess.

It isn't hate, its working to fix the problem. One hundred percent of the people who voted for the politicians who campaigned on instituting this actively helped to create the problem, and holding them accountable is the right thing to do.

Even if they are dying, and even if they are my family.

I’ve avoided this particular hell and it was very, VERY easy:

No health insurance since Jan 1, 2014. I’ve saved a TON of money. Of course, I’m responsible for my own health - and health care. It means I rarely eat at restaurants and I had to pay every penny of my health care expenses last year out of pocket: $131.

This all has to be Bush's fault - somehow.

The upcoming Supreme Court decision on CommieCare, if favorable, will be Obama’s saving grace. It will give him an “out” to blame it on the mean, stingy, heartless Republicans messing up his perfect plan. Otherwise, it would have worked.

And count on the GOPe “fixing” it for him.

So, did you lie on your tax form?

Most Canadians I’ve met have been honest enough to admit that their healthcare is not “free”. They pay a boatload of taxes for it.

my family in Italy is not quite that aware. They are thrilled with their "free" healthcare. Although my uncle had to wait for months to get leg surgery, and in the meantime had to walk up and down four flights of stairs to his apartment.

And that is the key point – his miniscule apartment. Miniscule by American standards. The opportunities there for jobs is stifling. If you are lucky enough to get a good paying job, then you stay in it even if you hate the work. Because there are no other opportunities. Almost everyone lives in apartments. When my cousin came over here, she couldn't believe that people had actual houses – and yards! My cousin's "bedroom" was the living room, because it was a one bedroom apartment. With no opportunity to pay for an apartment with a second bedroom. Even as it was, with a good paying job as a police officer, my uncle worked part-time selling pots and pans in the evening. And the one bedroom apartment was all they could afford.

They don't see the big picture that they are paying for this "free" healthcare by having very limited financial opportunities. They are pigeonholed into the life the government wants them to have. And in return, they get substandard "free" healthcare.

I don’t deem anyone “nice” who votes for a Communist.

So, the question needs to be asked:

Where is the money going?

If it’s going to overhead because of the law’s perverse complexity, that’s one thing.

Or, is it a transfer primarily to people who were formerly picked up by Medicaid? In that case, the people who are not subsidized are picking up the cost from what was previously general taxpayer funds. But, I haven’t heard about reductions in the Medicaid area.

So, where are the extra costs going?

There is the 8% rule that most don’t know about. It’s hard to find info on it.

See, I’ve gone Galt. My TAXABLE income is a shadow of what it once was.

Hey, their hearts were in the right place.

They just failed to keep track of their wallets.

Nancy Pelosi also falsified data given to the CBO to score 0bamacare prior to passage. But let alone Democrats’ lies to be rampant, even their more serious crimes are now considered ‘business as usual’.

Have to say Roberts was right, Obamacare is a tax. It sure as hell isn’t healthcare insurance when you have a $6,000 out of pocket expense before you get a single dime of benefit.

Obamacare is the greatest EVIL ever unleashed on this country. It TAKES AWAY health insurance from productive people in order to GIVE IT AWAY to the slugs - further reducing the incentive to work.

They say millions of people who were not covered before now have coverage. But what about the MILLIONS who no longer have it? Will there be an Obamacare II to cover the many victims of Obamacare? I doubt it.

Access to health care is STILL NOT A RIGHT. It’s a convenience. If you EARN health insurance, it’s a good thing to have. But if you don’t have it, you retain the option of just living a healthy lifestyle, staying right with God - a combination that liberals cannot stand. You also have the right to treat your own ailments or pray for healing.

The non-working parasite class only “needs” health insurance because they refuse to take responsibility for their own health.

Personally, I’d rather die than accept Obamacare. The death panel would probably just euthanize me, anyway. Older, white, conservative Christians just don’t “meet the criteria” for aggressive care.
