Just wondering how knowledgeable we are about this. Anything besides right wing talking points?
pay put to private insurance
healthcare should be a government building
I can walk into for a check up
emergency care and medicine
payed by tax dollars
That is how the VA works. Talked to a vet who loved it but hated the HC bill. Propaganda works.
SCOTUS has a problem. They need to blast it for political purposes but the insurance companies need the mandate. A pickle. ;p
the HC bill is really a Health Insurance bill
no thanks
I wouldn't necessarily have such a problem with the concept of medical insurance, if insurance companies were nonprofits (and some are nonprofit, just not enough), and their customers were able to influence its policies (in some way, even if they were ran like a credit union, where its customers get to vote in members of the board).
But Luntz said we should call it government run healthcare. ;p

the republicans are shills for the democrats
Way to go Matt !! I'm glad some can see the trees from the forest.
How many beers have you had?
Why would "we" know anything? Pelosi even admitted at the time of the vote that NO ONE had read the bill. How could they? It took a hand cart to transport the bill...Am sure the printed version weighed much more than you and I together.
BTW, she said that because the bill was changing right up until the final vote. Remember?
The way I remember it, Obama forced a vote before anyone had the time to read it. If it was changing right up to the final vote, then wouldn';t it have made sense to postpone the vote?
Probably was the last session before he lost his Dem controlled Congress. That much I don;t really remember, but I did wonder why they didn't get the time to read the damn thing.
How f'n ridiculous is that? Kinda like pick a prize behind door number 1, 2, or 3.
Congress does not read all they pass. Very damned little of it. They frankly don't have the time. That is what their staff is for. Reality sucks.
Yes it does. If the actually worked 5 days/wk, 49 wks a yr like the rest of us, maybe they'd have the time, Do you realize how much a Congressman costs us per hour?
It would help a lot if they did not have to spend half their time raising campaign money. Get the money out!
My insurance company sent me a paper on the changes to my policy because of the bill. Don't have insurance?
FYI - the mandate is not a mandate! If you do not buy the "mandated" insurance,
you are fined by having a fine added to your tax bill.
The fine is small - around $100.
The punch line to this story is the penalty for NOT PAYING THE FINE
the penalty is zero!
just goes to prove the Democtrats aint so dumb after all!

We won't have to worry about it after Thursday, just a failed footnote to a failed presidency.
I guess that didn't happen. Maybe SCOTUS (or more specifically, Chief Justice Roberts) got the feeling that it already overreached on Citizens United, and it didn't want to provide our political system with a pretext to do something like pack the court (who knows really, I'm just speculating).
I get to choose any doctor I want. For the first time. Check ups are no deductible. There is no longer a max on amount of coverage.
I tried it. It worked.
Perhaps Obamacares, but a new constitution is needed for new times, as follows:
We the peoples, in order to secure Freedom and Justice for All, do enact this Constitution for Strategic International Systems LLC (or SIS LLC) as summarized in the following Business Operations Forecast:
The customer value mission of SIS LLC is (1) to organize all customer-investors into 3,000 investment squad sites of 16 friends (or virtual specialties), and related internet investment legislatures of 50,000 friends (or virtual towns), requiring (2) a $20 weekly capital contribution for 1 year (or $1,000) to (3) create your investment club bank of 50,000 friends (or physical town) -- that is, having $50 million in initial assets -- which (4) due to the operation of today’s fractional banking system becomes (5) $500 million in new annual business loans (or $10,000 in new annual individual loans, plus $10,000 more credit every year thereafter) from yourself as a new bank officer to yourself as a new business officer who (6) takes 75% employee business control as business officer-investors and 25% customer business control as bank officer-investors of (7) your specific 12 businesses (or investments) in your new bank investment account wherein (8) your investor voting power equals (9) your 1 of 12 levels of experience in (10) your 1 of 12 sectors in 1 of 50 industries in 1 of 200 occupations in 1 of 3,000 specialities which (11) votes-upon your purchasing (or investment) orders as (12) proposed by your employee-elected chain of command.
This means you will have 75% employee business control over your workplace as business officers and, as bank officers, 25% customer business control over all 12 investments (or businesses) in your new bank investment account. In turn, with this 100% town-level business control of your 3,000 workplaces, you can decrease your 12 customer consumption expenses by 75% for services, vehicles, education, retail, food, construction, technology, manufacturing, wholesale, health, justice, and banking expenses; that is, over your first 12 years of SIS LLC membership using a 75% more effective and efficient town design, and related 3,000 workplace designs (herein). Furthermore, while creating your new town & workplace design as described by this constitution, you will replace today’s communist big businesses, and related big governments, with your new small investment club banks, and related small businesses (or investments), as proposed, financed, and patronized by your 3,000 investment squad sites of 16 friends (or virtual specialties) in your internet investment legislature of 50,000 friends (or virtual town).
Why? First, because today’s executive business income (mostly from bank or financial asset income) is 33% of all income which is a huge amount of upper 1% income to split among yourselves as new bank officers having 25% customer business control, right? Second, because today’s executive business wealth is 42% of all wealth which is a huge amount of upper 1% wealth to split among yourselves as new business officers having 75% employee business control; that is, only after becoming new bank officers (above) first, right?
For example, this means if you earn $12/hour today, then you will earn $36/hour tomorrow after adding (1) your old wage income, plus (2) your 33% (more and new) interest income as a new bank officer, plus (3) your 42% (more and new) dividend & gain income as a new business officer. Together, these 4 sources of wealth & income from your specific 12 businesses (or investments) will double your net worth every 6-12 years (until retirement); that is, from the compound interest decline of today's upper 1% executives whom you will replace as the new bank & business investor-officers. So, with this power, let’s end today’s communist big businesses, and related big governments, okay? How?

Medical loss ratio?
Tort reform?
"how knowledgeable we are about this"
If you have to ask,then you aren't. Just ask your girl friend Nazi Piglosi she should know,and she's not "right wing". Why would you even care anyways?
Unless of course it involves your medical choomer then I'll bet you'll be all over it.
I just learned that the mandate is gutless. $100 fine with no enforcement. Or is this propaganda, too?
Jeez,.....it starts at $100 and then becomes extremely expensive a few years later and could lead to jail time. You will not be able to escape the heavy,freedom robbing hand of a Govt. that will become your Nanny and provider. This is the thing that so many of you short sighted,ignorant progressives don't get. The more you empower the Govt to fulfill the progressive agenda,the more freedom,money and liberty you will sacrifice.
All in the name of a progressive Utopia that only exists in your minds.

Yeah,that's only a small fragment of the fucking anti-American,anti-freedom,anti-liberty provisions in this nightmare that your choom gang member Barry Hussein along with the Demoncraps have constructed. But I'm sure you'll still vote for him in Nov right?
But the text they quoted is not in the bill. Just a little mistake?
So you've read all 2000+ pages of the bill and can recite all verbatim?
There's more wrong in that bill then you or I will ever know.
So who told you that? Do you believe everything they tell you?
I did a search. It is a computer thing. I did finally find the text. It is in the tax code. They fooled you. Maybe not the first time. Or the last. But you still trust them, right?
If you have bought into Obamacare and the whole progressive agenda than you have been completely fooled. There is no hope for any change in you.
I am easily swayed by facts. I have shown at least three examples of deliberate deception about this. Can you show me any case where I have been "completely fooled."? Not opinions or talking point stuff. Facts like I have shown you.
If you actually,really went on a fact hunt about how fucked up Obamacare really is you might learn something.
I trust my sources of info. You on the other hand haven't showed me shit,it wouldn't matter anyways because there IS nothing positive about Obamacare,all you will present is Leftist propaganda.
The whole premise of your replies is to show me that Obamacare is supposedly the greatest thing since Barry was born in Kenya. Look,you can't convince me and I'm sure I couldn't convince you.
Do you have any recommendations about where I should hunt for these facts?
