“Oh, and I’ll be sure to tell my son & nephews that they should go back down to the health and human services dept. and tell them that you said they should sign them up for Medicaid, even though they already told them sorry about your luck. That unless you have a major health problem, or are married with a child your on your own.”
You are correct that each state has the ability to define circumstances of eligibility beyond poverty so perhaps a grass roots effort to get your state to expand the definitions of those circumstances are in order?
But are you not making the argument that there needs to be an avenue for a person to enter the private health insurance market via subsidies if they are unemployed or at the poverty line? I know you will continue to call me a troll for asking that question but if you follow the logic carefully, that is exactly what you just did vis a vis the emotion evoked with regard to the circumstances of your son and nephews.
NO. I am making the argument that you are a troll. Maybe a paid deem-ocrat shill, I don't know, but a troll none the less.
Forcing people to buy insurance is forcing them to buy a service. And that it is against the U.S. Constitution. Now I know you deem-ocrats don't think much of our Constitution, other then wanting to use it as toilet paper to wipe your oversize loads with. But still, it is only by the rule of law that this country, any country can stand. With out the rule of law you have nothing but tyranny.
I also remember the worst president in the history of this country. And I remember how life was with carters high tax's and liberal socialist policies.
I remember all the business's closed up and stood like empty shells in our small town leaving only the gas stations and bars open. Our once happy little town was like a ghost town, empty of people on the streets because no one had any money to go anywhere, do anything.
And I remember going hungry. Giving what I had to my kids, but still they cried hungry because we didn't have more to eat. I remember spending one whole winter with no heat. I remember both my ex husband and I working full time jobs and still we couldn't afford coffee, sugar, or meat, except for chicken backs and necks. I even burned coil oil lamps to cut down on our electricity bills.
And I know what this health care bill is going to do to this country with all the tax's they added, I lived that tax hell once already under the liberal carter. And I don't want to go there ever again!
