Tin Machine 2012/06/28 15:14:17I am disappointed with today's Supreme Court decision.
+3Well now the goverment can do anything it wants, further eroding the personal rights and liberties of it's citizens.
Prevents insurance companies from denying customers for pre-existing conditions.
Allows young adults to stay on their parent's insurance until age 26.
Limits age-rating, or charging premiums several times higher for older customers.
Eliminates lifetime insurance caps and restricts annual limits.
Restricts how much insurance companies can spend on non-medical costs (overhead).
Mandates that everyone acquire health insurance by 2014 or face a tax, offering subsidies or Medicaid for those who can't afford it.
Here's what's important: According to the Census Bureau, 49.9 million Americans didn't have health insurance in 2009. Part of that is due to the weak economy; most of those without health insurance have a very low or nonexistent income. But a lot is due to soaring costs that have put insurance out of reach for the gainfully employed. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 69% of businesses offered workers health insurance in 2000. By 2009, that number had dropped to 60%. It's almost certainly lower today. Our health-care system doesn't work for far too many Americans, which likely explains why most of the policies outlined above are pretty popular.
Since the law went into affect in 2009 it-.

"LIED" when it came to how it would be paid for.
It isn't a Tax remember !?
They also agree that about 1% of all Americans may choose to pay the penalty rather than purchase insurance under the Affordable Health Care Act.
They agree it is not a tax. Chief Justice Roberts ruled that the the Act was constitutional because the federal government has the right to tax (or discourage) unwanted behavior.
It is the same part of Constitutional Law that allows the government to increase the tax on cigarettes to discourage smoking.
So is Mitt Romney lying too?
Your boy has his own foot up his butt and he can say what ever it takes to make you fell warm and fuzzy. But it still comes down to a tax for Obamacare and that 75% of us don't like it. So bye-bye Obama this Nov. and get ready to go back to work and quiet standing around sucking up all the freebee's Obama has been giving ya.
The Romney campaign changed it's mind since Monday.
WASHINGTON --" Mitt Romney Wednesday reversed the position staked out by his own campaign just two days before and said the penalty levied against Americans who do not buy health insurance under President Obama’s health care overhaul is ``a tax.’’
The Supreme Court ruled last week that the enforcement mechanism for the individual mandate in the 2010 health care expansion -- a penalty payment made to the Internal Revenue Service -- qualifies as a tax.
On Monday, Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said Romney did not agree that it was a tax, and considered it a penalty."

Maybe he will change it again by Friday.
I mean really, you people are the poster child of what a sack of hammers are.

A clear message from Roberts -- Now we must vote the liar in the WH out!!

what about that additional tax .. on those who are self-employed (hmm .. % point higher than those who are employed by businesses)
what about that new tax on durable medical equipment .. starting low enough .. that even walkers and canes will now be taxed .. (and where will those funds go?)
what about the additional MILITARY Specific directed tax .. the one where those falling under this .. will have to pay .. in addition to the tax that the civilians have to pay ..
what about the additional tax .. for what they claim are cadillac plans? (have you seen a bill for emergency treatment lately .. I have .. it adds up quickly indeed .. just one visit .. and you'll be taxed heavily for .. emergencies .. )
there's so much more ..
in reality .. this abominable TAX .. this HEAVY Tax ..
does not address the simplest of fixes ..
which is the TORT Reforms ..
(and what about prosecuting all those who played for pay .. and purchased specific exemptions, access, benefits in this 2K+pages of monstrosity?)
Go away you act like trash.
Because come Nov. Mitt will be the new pres and Obamacare will be gone. Then its hunting season for the right.
He was true to the constitution, which is a hell of alot more important than the GOP.
