    Leftwing socialist democrats have been cruising for socialized medicine for years. Obama and todays democrats, and only democrats gave us obamacare. They claimed insurance people were cheating people out of "good" insurance, and it would cost less (a lie).

    So now what do we have with obamacare. Obamacare forces everyone to buy insurance from the insurance companies. So we still have the cost of the insurance companies PLUS the cost of tens of thousands of b'crats in Washington.

    IMO this makes now sense at all. Paying for insurance PLUS supporting underworked overpaid Washington B'crats that do nothing for the health of people is just plain stupid.

    Tell us libs, just how the hell supporting Washington B'crats is going to improve my healthcare?

    And forcing everyone into a pool, lowers costs for everyone across the board.

    Maybe we should just blame the right for not believing in equal pay for equal work, regarding capital based solutions over social based solutions.

    So pooling people(the sick and the healthy) doesn't lower costs?

    Why on earth would it unless they are paying their share ? Stop and think about it ...a pool system only makes things cheaper when everyone in said pool is paying . When it comes to insurance , paying a similar equal amount .

    I thought that gains from "consolidation" were supposed to help keep price parity.

    You can not appeal to ignorance regarding our supreme law of the land, our federal Congress can legislate any social program they want in the federal districts.

    @OP To actually reply to your questions would be to make you believe your assessments are true. Which they are not. Try again.

    Buried in that hideous bill is the penalty procedure....

    The stated method for collecting penalties is to remove the amount owed....from one's Income Tax refund. No Refund...No Penalties.

    This fact is not being HERALDED....by the MSM....as that would not aid Emperor Obama..and his vile plans to rob America blind.

    of course ths far ObamaScam has been so wildy popular that Joey Biden.......has decided to launch his own healthcare website...

    Funny, my Union insurance went up 50% with less coverage and a higher deductible. And before yo start, the money for our insurance comes out of our wages, NOT GIVEN by the employer. We now have a co-pay on generic drugs, our co-pay raised $1,000. Oh, WITH Obama care??? When I retire to be able to have Medicare ($125)and the Union insurance ($300) it will cost me $425 per person. that's 10,200 a year. with Obama CARE we still have the $125 per month for Medicare ($1500 a year) along with a $5,444 insurance policy. "Oh", you say, "that only comes to $6,944 a year, a savings of $3,256, so what are you complaining about"??? Just this, IF you read the fine print you will find that I still have a $2,500 deductible with the Union but I have a $12,700 deductible with Obama care. Boy, that REALLY helps doesn't it. With my Union insurance I have a total of $12,700 to pay a year but with Obama care I would have a whapping $19,644 out of pocket expenses. That means that I would be putting out almost $7,000 more with Obama Care than our Union Insurance, now, that's REAL savings isn't it. GET REAL!!!!

    How many insurance plans can you chose from right now???? 100?? 500??? over 1,000??? How many do we have to chose from under Obama Care??? 4. That's right, 4. Count them, one, two, three, four!!! And not a one of them is worth the papers it's wrote on. Health care for your children until the age of 26!!! Since when was a 26 year old a child??? NEVER in the history of the insurance business has a "Child" been covered until age 26. This provision alone makes ALL insurance plans null and void because without it they are "INFERIOR" according to the ACA!!!

    It sure would be nice if the republicans could come up with competing solutions as a form of equal work for equal pay.
