Our “old” form of healthcare is looking better and better.
Socialism now!
Solialism now!
Socia....what? You mean I have to pay for it? Nevermind then..
could they be the ones that dont want it ...how ironic
African-American voters are nearly twice as likely as whites to support it.
It was supposed to be FREE!
Actually, I think this idea has some merit. Before you flame me - hear me out. If I go to a hospital emergency room, they are required by law to treat me for a life threatening condition. If they are required to treat, it is it to much to ask that people be responsible? I don’t think I would favor this proposal - I am just pointing out that requiring people to have insurance or pay a penalty is not without merit.-—JM
“African-American voters are nearly twice as likely as whites to support it.”
...because these voters do not intend to pay the penalty or to pay for their insurance. They are the permanently “disadvantaged” who sponge off the paychecks of the producers, so their health care will be paid for by others, as it has always been.
In other words...
No Health Insurance?
No Cash?
No Service!!
[most voters oppose the “individual mandate” amendment to the health care plan, 59% favor putting a provision in the plan that would prohibit any new taxes, fees or penalties on families who make less than $250,000 a year...]
Proving that most voters, who elected Obama, are truly idiots and fools.
Government-run insurance will work as well as government-run housing (public housing projects help every community! Just ask Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta...)... government-run hospitals (go to virtually any VA hospital, they’re generally the worst in any city)... government food (remember “government cheese” from the 80’s?)... government-run schools (let’s compare the budgets and results for public schools vs private schools)...
That's the principle being violated here, and I'm surprised most people apparently don't "get it."
This "fair's fair" crap is just that.
This is the reason government-run health care is wrong, on so many levels.
I won't pay a Citizenship Tax because I will not subordinate Individual sovereignty to a bunch of useless parasitical bureaucrats.
This will turn principled Conservatives into outlaws and reward non-citizens with a superior status.
If it isn't an establishment of a state religion then it is an attempt to remake the U.S. government into God's image.
Let's be clear, since the Bureaucrats are clear. If this bill passes, older Americans will certainly die younger than they would otherwise. The quality of care will be reduced for everyone to the lowest common denominator.
Some people may thank that's taking the whole "fairness" thing a step too far.
Yikes, who is the other 45% ?
