Where do I go for that 'free' healthcare?

SteamWake · 04-07-10, 11:18 AM

Seems like there is a lot of confusion out there. Not supprisingly.

Pssst heres a hint.... its not 'free'.

i think i could handle this bill if it would leave me the hell alone.

Problem:

10-15% of the nation is without healthcare (notice the unemployment rate sort of jives with that number? weird)

Solution:

AhHA! We will force everyone to buy insurance!

another funny thing about free health care...

My wife's insurance policy through her work YESTERDAY;

the premium... doubled from $85/month to $160

the co-pay... doubled from $20 to $40

the deductible for serious procedures... doubled from $2,500 to $5,000

Dear BO and NP

**** YOU

Careful lest you be summoned to capitol hill to explain why your costs increased when the aim of the bill was to reduce costs. You have explaining to do !

This bill will cause more trouble than solve. Thanks BO

So your rates raise because Insurance companies want to virtually rape wallets before they are forced to be reasonable. And of course you blame the gov. Every fat cat insurance company thanks you for your devotion to their cause of greater and greater CEO pay. If you continue one day they may invent warp drive and just might take you with them when they go to another planet to pillage :P

The bill isn't great but the bill isn't directly raising your costs. Its the trusts between the companies and their PR hitsquads claiming reducing lawsuits will magically reduce costs so everyone can get in as opposed to it somehow finding its way to the CEO as usual.

Private companys cannot and will not be able to compete against the federal goverment.

Well to them i say "You're welcome" because MY insurance doesnt cost a brown burning bag of dog sh*t.

because i dont effing have any... and i would be inclined to keep it that way.

but, now queen Nancy has come out saying either i buy it or go to jail?

To her i say... "your majesty - up your Royal Rosie red ass."

when i have a problem that requires a trip to the ER (3 such trips in my 31 years) i pay hard cash... thats my insurance policy, and it works for me.

if you guys want to go out and buy a Porsche... go for it. Im happy with my pickup

if you want to go out and buy a $500,000 sprawling home... go for it... im happy with my 3 bedroom home.

if you want to accept the government intrustion and be forced to buy something - good for you - but im not playing this game.

Smoke and mirrors. Hey look at my right hand do magic tricks while my left hand is in your wallet. The ultimate goal of this bill is and always was redistribution of wealth.

Remember the Communist creed....(From those that have to those that need.)

This is nothing other than hey lets charge more from those that can afford insurance so that we can give it to those that cannot afford insurance and draw the line at the racial divide and put more money in the governments smoke and mirrors hands to fund even more socialist agenda's!

That's my thoughts anyhow.
