What a bunch of morons, YOU are paying for lazy ghetto bitches health care, these poor people in America REFUSE to get a job because its easier for them not to, I mean why should they when YOU ARE PAYING THE BILL. Thanks to your messiah he has fucked you and your children for years, dont even pin this on Bush this was PURELY DEMOCRATS period. Bush was a fiscal fucking idiot, Obama is a fucking fiscal DISASTER.

I'm not certain who "YOU" is in your rant, but if it is the people who work, and who pay for EVERYONE'S healthcare, then why are you so upset.

Under the new Obama plan, healthcare would be mandatory, like car insurance is for drivers. This means more people will pay into the healthcare system, so the costs are more evened out.

Now before you rant on, about how this benefits the insurance companies, or "the poor still won't pay" etc. - let's look at the big picture.

By making this compromise, the health insurance companies WILL gain new customers. In return, they must take ALL customers, regardless of pre-existing conditions. They also are not allowed to drop you for any reason, and rate heights are supposed to follow a restrictive formula.

Will it work, or will it just be another corrupt way to do things? Probably the latter, but change takes time, and the system will require tweaks as time goes on.

Would it have been better to do nothing at all, like has happened for the past X number of years? Doubtful. Rates were going up with zero regulation whatsoever, so maybe now the rate increases, which are inevitable, will be slowed down a bit... who knows?

One thing is certain however - as our economy sucks, and as more people are unemployed and/or under employed, the pool of those who can afford health insurance now, is dwindling.

Without any change, it will be unaffordable for the MAJORITY of people. This will mean all of you heartless millionaires out there will get to stand in lines, 20 people deep, at the emergency room, because no one will have coverage. Every condition will be put off until it is dire, and the people will still be taken care of, but YOUR bill will skyrocket, and YOUR wait will be long.

Get it?

More people in the pool is better. It is not an ideal fix, but it is more than nothing.

The people who are not currently covered will be required to have coverage. If they can afford it, it will be mandatory. If they cannot, it will still be provided, albeit via government assistance, which will not be great for THEM, but it still allows the system to function for everyone, including those who are well off.

What the fuck are you guys railing against?

Do you ever stop and think who is controlling your thoughts?

If Obama is in bed with the healthcare industry, then why did they spend almost 1/2 BILLION DOLLAR$ fighting him on it - and continue to do so even today?

WAKE THE FUCK UP!

She can relate hundreds of stories just like this one, and how Medicaid will pay for MANY times more treatments than your average insurer, and yet the patients receiving Medicaid don't even bother to send in a lunch with their kids, (after dropping them off in a Lexus), and expect the clinic to feed them, and even BATH them for free, which comes out the the clinics pockets. She told me one example of a mother, after being told that her child needed a simple pair of shoes to wear during treatments, went out and bought $80 sneakers for her 5 year old. She then cautioned the clinic to "not mess them up". When they asked her why she hadn't just bought some inexpensive shoes so that it wouldn't matter if they got scuffed, she replied "My kids need style". She was also on Medicaid.

I could go on for days with these. She comes home steamed about it every week.

Also when credit was cheap they gave credit to anyone. So people had flat screen tv's ,fancy shoes(you dont know if they are knock offs) and then default on it. my wifes sister was working at subway making $6 a hr and they gave the kid a credit card with a 15k line of credit.
its all right wing crap the unemployed are just lazy drinking and doing drugs but then they will talk about christian values. lol

I have a high credit line, too. Way higher than I can "afford." Haven't defaulted yet. Maybe I'll give that a try next year.
