Health insurance is the new social security but more expensive......just another mandatory payroll deduction.

What you get for your money is long lines, poor treatment and under-educated foreign doctors who don't speak english and are marking time until their citizenship papers come through...

Good question. My family benefits ran out in October. I have a hubby and 2 boys. Hubby looking for work desperately, 26 years of HVAC/R experience and no takers. I cannot afford coverage as of now. Praying kids don’t get sick or hurt. I guess if they make it mandatory I can hope they put us in jail so at least we have a roof, meals, and health care on staff. This coming from a woman who stayed home for 15 years to raise my kids, hubby worked 2-3 jobs to keep me there, homeschooled til I had to get a job to help. Never late on a bill, now when I am struggling to put food on the table and not lose my home add THIS?? I quit. Where is the f(##(ing line, I don’t want pie, I NEED pie and it SUCKS!

It will be deducted from their wages, until the fines are enough to pay for said insurance. Hillary referred to this earlier this year.

...then they go to a re-education camp. That’ll teach them for being poor in a worker’s paradise!

“And if they can’t afford it...?”

Surely someone as bright as you Mr. Fitzgerald can understand what is going on. The promises made to the Boomers cannot be fulfilled on Medicare. That means all citizens get insurance by the government and all citizens taxes increase to provide it. Will I be happy to have a free health care plan instead of the excellent family coverage I pay $20,000 a year for? NO! Why? Because my taxes will go up to 60% and pay $50,000 more in taxes.
