I've got health insurance, but I agree that it is a giant scam. I only go to the doctor for things like a ruptured appendix or broken leg. One of the main reasons health care is so expensive is that people watch too many of these medical soap operas on TV. Then they want to get attention from some doctor or nurse themselves. I work as a firefighter and we see people all of the time who are on three dozen different meds who probably had nothing wrong with them to begin with before they whined until six different doctors each prescribed them five different meds. Then they become lab rats.
One thing Obama care will do is create long waiting lists so that it will take six months to even see a specialist. This will be good for the typical system abusing hypochondriac. Maybe they will get some fresh air and exercise instead of wasting some medical professionals time. It will suck eggs if you actually have some type of life threatening disease. Or if you are old and the government won't pay for any expensive procedures because they don't think your life is worth as much as some young deadbeat's life.
The (no number, not finished, the Lord only knows its final form) House Bill has a religious exemption.p. 170.
On the other hand, Becky is irresponsible if she doesn’t at least have catastrophic, high deductible insurance. She assumes the rest of us will pay for her. And so, she validates the mama-totalitarians who will force this hyper-complicated “insurance” (really State mandated, pre-paid medical care — I’m not ready to call it “health care.”)
What if I want and have a health sharing ministry?
It’s not insurance but it accomplishes the same goal — it pays in the case of accident or illness.
My family and 13,000 other families will be shut down in our sharing ministry.

It works and costs less than half of that of an actual insurance company.
Sheesh, the number of boot-licking do-gooder fascists on FR has sure gone up lately. This thread is a prime example.
WRONG! You will not be forced to buy health insurance if you don’t want it. Jail/confiscation of your property are always a Hussein option!
“– I’m one of the nearly 50 million Americans who don’t have health insurance. I don’t want it, either. “
The Obama’s new “Civilian Security Force” will kill you.
If any reasonable health care plan is outlawed, people will make a way. This would create a medical/ pharmaceutical black market.
Isn’t that what the libs have been saying all along about abortion? They contend that when “safe” legal abortions are outlawed, women will turn to the “back alleys.”
Well, if Obamacare become the law, I’m willing to let some “back alley” doctor set my bones, rather than waiting for months for treatment.
NO Obamacare
