#11 - Democrats will be in power forever.
Good luck repealing this.
That’s the plan. When the chaos reaches a fever pitch, then the takeover. It’s a leftist tactic.
Don’t need ten.
Only need one.
It is “involuntary servitude”, prohibited by the 13th Amendment.
It sounds like I might benefit from asking for a cut in salary. That would be crazy.

As a small business owner, it's just more incentive for us to hire skilled labor as independent contractors. IOW, negotiate a fixed price for their labor and let them pay their own taxes, health insurance, etc.
>It is involuntary servitude, prohibited by the 13th Amendment.
I wont pay. The violation of the 10th is clear.
I don’t think this fits what you were looking for, but I’ll send it anyway ping.
Doesn’t sound too bad:
1. Cost of coverage will rise: of course, better coverage to more people (so they say).
2. Health care premiums will go up for nearly half of Americans: means premiums will not go up for the other half.
3. Health reform unlikely to create new jobs: That’s not its purpose
4. Federal funding may cover abortion: I personally don’t care about this issue.
5. Four Million people will lose their employer-based plans: may be good since I want health insurance to be totally independent of employers.
6. Medicare will cut services and costs: this has got to happen one way or another regardless of the new healthcare plan unless we’re to become a soggy welfare state.
7. The bill will not pay for itself: maybe not, but the government is overspending far beyond the additional costs of this plan. No politician ever talks about how to really cut costs. Nothing new here.
8. Higher Medicaid costs will gradually shift to states: I’m not greatly concerned about who will pay as ultimately it all comes out of my pocket.
9. Doctor shortages could lead to rationing: won’t happen. Changes will be made to accommodate doctors.
10. The bill raises taxes for many individuals and businesses: covered by an earlier item.
I'd like to ask my in-laws how much they like the "change" now!
Interesting tagline you got there. And apparently accurate I’m afraid.
As far as this bill goes, you, like so many others, are lost in the weeds.
And, to use a worn out metaphor, you cannot see the forest for the trees.
We already have the form of Obamacare in my state. We also have the highest medical premiums in the country and the highest healthcare costs in the country. And Masshealth is now 1/3 of the state budget and growing.
This is what happens when you give an entitlement to people who are not paying into the system. The taxpayer gets left with the bill.
thanks
I actually have one of those Advantage plans, which is going to be cut. I told that to my relative, but she didn't believe me.
3. Health reform is unlikely to create new jobs.
I don’t know about that; didn’t the IRS just add 165,000 agents to enforce its provisions? And since nearly half the nation’s doctors will retire or leave the profession soon after it is instituted, those jobs’ll be open.
