Want to pay your own way for these things too? Or do you think a consolidated, public-interest-based system is the way to go?

We are getting WAY off topic here.

The OPs post is about a provision for American to pay a fine of $3800 if you DON'T buy health insurance.

Let's get back on topic or start your own thread.

Probably the best point made in this whole discussion.

Very true. I have insurance, one great benefit from retiring from the military.

If this passes, we taxpayers will pay for it. If it doesn't pass, we tax payers will pay for it.

Only differance is, if it passes and you don't get insurance, you will get fined. Odds are, there will be some sort of "relief" to help those that can't afford it. So who pays? Taxpayers.

Sound about right? Why argue? Who pays for everything that goes on in the country? Yes, taxpayers.

Thank you, that was my point.

Still it was good to see that people are truly concerned about the state of health insurance/care.


Thanks to everyone that posted on this thread..peace

You're missing the point insurance is not care. Having insurance does'nt mean you have health care, it's up to the gate keeper weather you get it or not.

Huh?

Health Care Insurance

What's the weather go to do with it?

Why pay a middleman (insurance company) we don't need them. 100,000 dollars an hour for a ceo to deny health care and let someone die because of it? Yes 100,000 an hour not a day or week or a year. We all pay when antyone goes to the E-room that's not an answer.

This has nothing to do with the topic. I am stating one more time; any further posts need to STAY ON TOPIC or I am going to be deleting them. SEE POST #32!

I have no problem with a civil Health Care Debate, but not in this thread.
