WASHINGTON — President Obama said Wednesday that he was receptive to Congressional proposals that would require every American to have health insurance and that would force employers to offer health insurance to their employees. But he said there should be exemptions for people who cannot afford coverage and for small businesses in general.

****But he said there should be exemptions for people who cannot afford coverage and for small businesses in general.**

In other words : Rape those who can afford it to pay for those who are entitled to entitlements.

Ah the fine print.

He also said during the campaign he was going to save/create 4-5 million jobs with the stimulus plan, yet we are LOSING 500,000 jobs/month.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on ME! Don’t buy any of the health care promises!!!

“But he said there should be exemptions for people who cannot afford coverage and for small businesses in general.”

Which would leave us pretty much where we are today. Most who do not have insurance don't carry it because they do not want it (even if they can afford it), can't afford it, don't work for an employer that offers a package, that are wealthy enough to pay-as-they-go, and people who are in this country illegally and can't get and don't want insurance (because they prefer the ER drop-in for their their medical needs).

It's amazing that Obammie the Commie can play so well both roles of Dumb and Dumber.

Why obama sees Summer 2009 as the last chance for government health insurance? Try and picture the cowards in D.C., dem and rino trying to pass socialized medicine, running for their seats all while obama's house of cards crumbling.

This is why Conservatives should be planning their challenges to incumbents, like YESTERDAY!

Sounds like Romneycare.

It's not working in Massachusetts, so let's implement it on the federal level. Great!

Can anyone clarify what status retirees are in?

Most of us on Soc Sec have Medicare, and we certainly cannot afford any further premiums for insurance.

Dictators love compulsion and hate and will not tolerate freedom.

What does that statement say about Obozo?

Sadly, I’d wager the IRS is the one in error here, as much as it kills me to say that.

The next EMMY AWARDS: Obama for faking the job of American President.

And a special award to the TOTUS, for it's supporting role.

Yes. You are dead weight to the rest of society.

Your access to prescriptions will be curtailed, and any illness related to degradation from age, will not be considered treatable.

The government will provide free pickup of dead corpses so as to keep down disease . (more 'new' jobs as promised)
