This pack of idiots in Washington want to hit you with a fine of up to $3,500 for not having health insurance. This is the kind of leadership we have in place now. This is hope and change?

For me the real question is why is the American standard of living continuing to fall behind other industrialized nations and why when we used to be first in everything are we last in health care? It is an embarrassment before the world that some 17,000 Americans lose coverage every day and we are the only so called modern nation in the world in which medical care causes most bankruptcies and most home foreclosures. The kind of arguments we are having about health care make us look really stupid compared to the rest of the world. I am ready for America to be number one again.
Sorry there is a reason that unless your car has a lean on it you only have to have liability insurance. Can someone explain this to Not Einstein what this means exactly.
By the same standards if I am required to have any form of health insurance why can't I have just a major medical plan? If you paid out of pocket for as much stuff as you do with your car then medical insurance would be much much cheaper. If medical insurance companies had to compete for you money as hard as car insurance then again med insurance would be cheaper. If you were then allowed to bundel plans you again could save even more.
All of you that are so upset about out of pocket costs and want the insurance companies to pay every dime of your health care are just looking for a handout. Why stop and universal health care? Why don’t you go for the brass ring? Free every thing for everyone.
I believe Obama was chosen by hidden superiors for this unique time in history and exposes Obama's true agenda as a terrible master plan conceived long ago and now being lethally implemented.
"Barack Obama has become the ultimate instrument in a dark plot to deconstruct and 'murder' America."

I was talking to a woman a while back who was an officer in a high tech corporation. She had the very best insurance. Then she was diagnosed with cervical and fallopian tube cancer. There was surgery and, because it had metastasized, a very long chemotherapy period. She was unable to work during those days, and was eventually laid off.
So she bought the Cobra plan. Did you know that your former employer can cancel your Cobra at any time? That's what happened to her. They said her treatment was driving up their health care costs, that they were struggling in the recession and they couldn't afford it. So they canceled her Cobra.
So now she has cancer and no insurance. She has already cashed in and spent all her retirement plans and her savings. Now she is faced with selling the only thing she has left, her house. This in a severely depressed real estate market.
She can't buy another insurance policy. You see, cancer is considered a "pre-existing condition" and nobody will insure her now.
What will happen to her? Do you really think she will lay on the street and die in ...

What will happen to her? Do you really think she will lay on the street and die in this the worlds richest country, or will she be taken into a hospital? Who pays then? Not her, she has nothing left!
You pay. You pay every time you see a doctor or go to the hospital. These "unrecoverable" charges are built into every medical bill and every insurance payment.
There has to be a safety net for those that the insurance industry refuses to cover.
That's what the President's plan will do.
God bless him, I say.
Statutory health insurance should cover those who are unemployed.Employers should pay part and the government part,related in per cent to the earnings of the employee.Part of the national tax deductions,again in relation to the earnings from workers, should go to providing health insurance for the unemployed.These costs would be minimal as they are here in Germany where every worker besides having Health Insurance deductions(whether Private or Government health Insurance,the choice is available to all)contributes also in relation to his Brutto wage,through his tax deductions to help funding Health Insurance for those who are unemployed.
There is therefore no case of anybody not being able to afford Health Insurance and no issue of a fine!.Though poverty is on the increase which effects many whether working or not,everybody has health insurance and everybody gets treated regardless of their personal situations.

I read that nearly 1.3 million USA full-time workers lost their health insurance in 2006.That is a scandal and has to change for the better.The system in the USA cannot stay as it was and it is the duty of the Government and its Patriotic duty towards its citizens to care and get the 46 million people without health Insurance,insured.A system where"only the strong survive"is anti American.
Why would anyone risk a fine when they get credit on their taxes for having affordable insurance?
Are you young, virile, and healthy? You don't need health insurance because you will always be young, virile and healthy? You don't have auto insurance because you are a good driver? Oh shit, one of those "bad drivers" just hit you head on. Oh no, you're fucking neck is broken and you are paralyzed from the shoulders down. Oh but, you have good medical insurance, right? No? Well you must have coverage under your auto insurance, right? No? Well, gee, who is going to pay for your medical, rehab, and wheelchair?
I AM! And so is every other American citizen who had the foresight to cover themselves with auto and health insurance. Perhaps we should all call for a Death panel to review your case and determine you are a loser, who didn't want to pay his own way. Sorry, bud, you are not worthy of the expense. Buh bye.
Fancy that.
