At Least 35% Of People Eligible For Obamacare's Medicaid Expansion Have Criminal Histories
Forbes ^ | 03/11/2014 | Avik Roy

If you listen to the President, and other supporters of Obamacare, you might get the impression that the reason why tens of millions of Americans go without health insurance is because these people have pre-existing conditions, and health insurers are too mean to cover them. The truth is quite different. Less than a million Americans lack health insurance because of a pre-existing condition. And it turns out that a good number of Americans are uninsured not because they are sick, but because they are convicted criminals.

Yep. Three areas of government Health Control: Bureau or Prisons, VA, and reservations.

Fail.

Fail.

Fail.

And for those who are quick to brush off the dirty scumbag criminals - look at how much IS criminalized now. Did you register your guns as ordered? Did you make a mistake on your income tax? Did you drive through ‘federal property’ with a firearm in the trunk or concealed carry, or too close to a school? Police states NEED criminals to justify their oppressions. We are one, and have been for a while.

They really didn't know what they were doing.

They are hoping that the American people and our health care system will figure out how to make it work. More by necessity and desperation than actual organized and structured planning. It will probably end up being a hodgepodge of laws and regulations that give preferences to cronies and poor health care to those who need it. It will probably collapse and with the only alternative being a single payer system because the original health care system will have been destroyed.

And of course, they will take credit for it if, by chance, it is made to work.

I don't think it will ever ‘end up’ as anything.

I don't think it was ever MEANT to ‘end up’ as anything... but rather to remain ever ‘at-hand’ as THE perfect and versatile cudgel to bully and manipulate taxpayers.

It will perpetually morph into whatever tool the ‘state’ needs it to be, WHENEVER it is needed.

The ACA was written in intentionally inscrutable language, to be expedient, efficient and perennially adaptable to the needs of, NOT US taxpayers, but to all and every current and conceivable need and objective of this and every subsequent Congress!

The Social Security system was the blueprint and dress rehearsal for THIS monstrous and ruinous legislation.

It would be surprising that it end up being something. Anything... take the heat off of the Democrats.

Because it will be chaos for Americans. And with the help of the GOP and Conservatives, guess who get the blame? The Democrats, of course. So it will probably be hastily thrown together, peace-meal implementation, and waivers for cronies.

Exactly what we hate the most about anything run by the government.

This time was a charm. Got the quotation marks the first time, then the apostrophe was the crux of the biscuit the second time </Zappa>.

I gues the old adage is true, “third time’s a charm”.
