Obviously there is an incentive to get married and have kids how Christian and unsociocommunist like of Obama. Even makes the push for same sex marriages and families to be legally recognized on a federal level prior to it going into effect seem like a leftist conspricay. o_O back to reality. These figures only reperesent the costs for 10% of population due to Medicad, Tax credits and 20 states not actually opting in to the program. Oh and the Heritage Foundation is being presided over by Jim DeMint who is known for misinforming and fabrications. Here are some of his best hits: • DeMint called the health care law socialized medicine and said it would make the United States system like those in Britain or Canada. This claim is false because the health care law leaves in place the private health care system and the free market. • DeMint said the law will intervene in decisions between doctors and patients. Though the law puts more regulations on health insurance companies, the claim is false due to nothing in the law changes typical interactions between doctors and patients.

Something like an individual mandate or increased revenue generated from upper-income brackets would have been super useful.
IF ONLY Wait until you get a real medical bill before you start bitching about a premium.
Try paying for a heart attack in 2013-2014. You got a Million to spare? probably not if you're posting here. Try paying for child birth in 2013-2014. You got a spare 20-30k lying around? Probably not. Try paying for an Appendectomy in 2013-2014. You got 75-80k you can just up & pay on one bill? Probably not. But maybe Niko is right, maybe we should let Social Darwinism takes it course so that only the truly wealthy can afford real health services while the rest have life expectancies like it was the 18th century. After all if I have didn't health insurance and a kick *** deductible, I would be either dead back in 2005 when my appendix burst or financially broke well before 2013. Thankfully neither are the case. Phoenix.Amandarius

The individual mandate forces low income people to take the government subsidy to buy health insurance. it is the entire point. Force people of modest means into taking a givernment handout or pay a fine. People that are not low income are extremely likely to have health insurance already and very unlikely to be one of those ER freeloaders liberals like to talk about. It is a fine on poor people that don't get into the government run system.
even people with real income who aren't wealthy declare bankruptcy or end up welching on the cost thats not covered. It's more expensive than people think. Hell most people who need serious care die before paying off the total bill. Especially people who've had multiple bypasses for instance.
All mandated health care does is give money to the corporations to ultimately cover the cost and line their pockets. There isn't government provided health care thats a big piece of misinformation. It's still private health care just with costs subsidized by the government. If you haven't caught on yet prices go up so they can pocket more from the government. It's all part of the corporatist agenda thats been in effect since the Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush administrations. See Dylan Ratigan's famous rant about the fleecing of America.

I am so glad to see those with low income be front and center for the Tea Party in the issues they wish to address. Oh, wai- Thank you. Exactly, those that become dependent on a government handout will flock with their hands out to the politicians that promise to give them stuff and not those that want to take it away. That's my point. It is forcing people of modest means to become more dependent on the government, in this case now for their health care. "No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. So, governments' programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth." - Ronald Reagan It's strange to hear a TPer quoting Reagan, by all rights he would be a major thorn in the side of the Neo-cons.

Then in 1981 he got shot and stopped all the anti-government rhetoric; got with the program and ramped it up. Clinging to shadows of the past when really that was only a glimmer in the thread of time and not his legacy. In his defense people say it was Bush Sr that was pulling the strings of the Reagan puppet like how people say Cheney pulled the strings of the Bush Jr. marionette. But really thats saying he wasn't a politician and just a cheerleader. charts for Nobody's enjoyment: As you can see the serious incline begins with Reagan. I <3 the Onion.
Quote: WASHINGTON—Responding to widespread criticism regarding its health care website, the federal government today unveiled its new, improved Obamacare program, which allows Americans to purchase health insurance after installing a software bundle contained on 35 floppy disks. “I have heard the complaints about the existing website, and I can assure you that with this revised system, finding the right health care option for you and your family is as easy as loading 35 floppy disks sequentially into your disk drive and following the onscreen prompts,” President Obama told reporters this morning, explaining that the nearly three dozen 3.5-inch diskettes contain all the data needed for individuals to enroll in the Health Insurance Marketplace, while noting that the updated Obamacare software is mouse-compatible and requires a 386 Pentium processor with at least 8 MB of system RAM to function properly. “Just fire up MS-DOS, enter ‘A:\>dir *.exe’ into the command line, and then follow the instructions to install the Obamacare batch files—it should only take four or five hours at the most. You can press F1 for help if you run into any problems. And be sure your monitor’s screen resolution is at 320 x 200 or it might not display properly.” Obama added that the federal government hopes to have a six–CD-ROM version of the program available by 2016.

THESE people are the ones "Obamacare" is covering (and MANDATING they get coverage), the people who go to work EVERY DAY whether they are sick or not because if they take a vacation, they go bankrupt.

As a direct result, health insurance premiums have increased due to PPACA, and you (and all other liberals) only see how much in premiums that only you have to pay directly. This was not because of any flaws in the free market, because the government intervened in said free market. Plus, your reasoning with taxes is flawed because you are also paying into the same wasteful use of public funded services and publicly owned assets. You seem to be ok with that, which is really sad. The point: The overall bill has been increased per person as a direct result of PPACA, but your only defense in this is that you think in only selfish terms (which is what liberals demonize everyone else BUT them for doing. Pot, meet kettle). Lakshmi.Zerowone said: » Nice to see you posting outdated charts and charts that doesn't reflect the spending your horse has been doing to try to make a point.

People under 19k a year are exempt. Those between 19k and 40k are not. Would consider that to be modest income? Those are the ones least likely to have health insurance that will be fined for not opting into Obamacare and SUBSEQUENTLY taking the government subsidy to help pay for it thus becoming dependent on the government for their health care. Is that clear enough for you yet? Edit: actually was worse after I double checked. That's under 19,000 for joint filing married couples. It is under 9500$ a year for singles. So yeah anyone over 9500 a year forced into it and become a lifetime serf of the federal government. how can you be dependent on the government if they require something of you but pay for it.

Because they will pay very little while the government pays 95% of it.

Asura.Squishytaru said: » With the exception of the existing medicaid. The healthcare is not coming from the government. It is not run by the government. It is a mandate by the government for people to go buy insurance. AND THE GOVERNMENT PAYS FOR ALMOST ALL OF IT. They get health insurance. They love it. And the only way they will continue to have health insurance is if the government keeps cutting massive checks to them to pay for it. But you already are a lifetime serf of the federal government. Nothing has changed there!
Edit: If you are a couple joint filing at 19K you are either a drug dealer that's under reporting your earned income or extremely lazy and or undereducated. It's not a realistic value in today's world. i fail to see how the government paying for health insurance for people who would otherwise be costing us all money anyway when they go to the ER and can't pay and it costs ten times what insurance costs, is making them dependent. they already aren't paying for it. at least if hospitals know they will get paid, healthcare costs will go down across the board. it will also help deal with unlicensed doctors and illegal pharmacies.
why weren't you people crying about medicare part B? |
