Here is the real problem.
Pick the one you will feed,
And the one who will die.
People will not do it, only governments will.

For Linda Dearman, the House vote last week to repeal the Affordable Care Act was a welcome relief.
Ms. Dearman, of Bartlett, Ill., voted for President Trump largely because of his contempt for the federal health law. She and her husband, a partner in an engineering firm, buy their own insurance, but late last year they dropped their $1,100-a-month policy and switched to a bare-bones plan that does not meet the law’s requirements. They are counting that the law will be repealed before they owe a penalty.
“Now it looks like it will be, and we’re thrilled about that,” Ms. Dearman, 54, said. “We are so glad to feel represented for a change.”
The voices of people like the Dearmans helped spawn a political movement after the passage of the health law seven years ago. But unlike the pro-Obamacare forces that have flooded congressional phone lines and town hall meetings, opponents of the health care law have been quieter as Mr. Trump and Republicans in Congress have worked to fulfill their promise to get rid of the law.
In interviews over the last few days, people who support repealing the Affordable Care Act pointed to their long-simmering resentment of its mandate that most Americans have health insurance or pay a tax penalty. Many also said that they could no longer afford the comprehensive coverage available on the individual market, and that they were eager to once again be allowed to choose skinnier policies without a penalty.
“Now I will no longer be expected to pay twice what I should for a product I don’t need and be treated like a criminal with a fine if I refuse,” said Edward Belanger, 55, a self-employed business appraiser in Dallas.

Not true. The tax remains but the rate has been adjusted to zero. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3550544/posts?page=3#3
Heh. That picture proved to be the deathblow to pelosi’s, reid’s and homobama’s legacies. All three are now irrelevant.
People will not do it, only governments will.
Which SHOULD BE A GOOD THING, assuming the government is not corrupt, ignorant, greedy, and delusional.
A populace consisting of compassionate, but indolent and ignorant voters, will vote their miserable emotions, and swamp the entire boat and everyone dies.
An honest elected representative government consisting of the best society can offer, educated, informed and able to make the hard choices necessary for a healthy society is the best that 40000 years of human civilization has come up with.
In such a society, if you are a healthy adult, can offer physical labor, if nothing else, but you refuse to work, you don't eat, you die.
And you don't get to vote on anything!
Harry’s goosing her.
So she is in double rapture from Obama's chair and Harry goosing her!
Would that that were true.
