Couple obvious questions though?
Suppose a person currently uninsured BECAUSE premiums are too high due to a pre-existing condition say leukemia is now forced to purchase insurance. Are we going to jail them and then provide them care in the Fed big house or just fine the crap out of them? Will illegals, like auntie Obama be forced to buy insurance and how will anyone keep track of them when supposedly we can't do it now? How about the unemployed, or families living paycheck to paycheck? Will they be forced to reduce say their food intake or go w/o electricity, water etc.?
Or like always will the workingman and healthy be forced to subsidize above situations in the form of higher premiums?
Can't wait for someone to get to Leavenworth and be asked, "What are you in for?" and answer "not having health insurance. What time is dinner and can you call the Dr. my belly hurts" 
and those poor Dr.'s Riot speaks of who don't take insurance. Will they be forced into a new career? LMAO |
Take a good look at MA. if you think it's such a good thing. We have 6 hospitals bringing lawsuits against the state for not paying the promised medicare reimbursements. They may go bankrupt. There are still long waits in the emergency rooms and at the doctor's offices. Insurance premiums have gone up 42 percent. I chose to get catastrophic only insurance when this mandatory insurance went through. It was not good enough so I would still have to pay the fines. So now I pay the fines (alot cheaper than the monthly insurance) and continue to pay cash when I need to see a doctor (which is what I did before 2006).
