Other than the parts I struck through, I have no problem with that.






Seriously, though - my full reaction would violate the CoC here.

Ditto.  The problem is that this bill is constantly being amended, so it would be more useful to reference section & paragraph numbers rather than page numbers.

I would have an account somewhere so I could cash my paychecks - and I mean *cash* my paychecks.  I won't accept PayPal because of the control they demand over a checking account––and I could always open a separate account just for PayPal.  With these assholes, there's no "separate account" workaround.



My savings would go into non-FDIC insured vehicles (bonds, etc. - and I'm not talking US Savings Bonds) or simply into a safe at the house.  I'd empty my 401(k), penalties be damned, and opt out at work.

Interesting sidenote from a physician:

There is plenty of talk today about the broken medical care system, inefficiency and waste and the prospects of government-planned better quality and how a more accomplished central planning effort and more rules will create better care at a lower price.  All the yakking is a distraction.  Even the providers, who know the truth, will join the government plan to save, short term, their economic status. Some hope to maneuver a place on the planning committee and receive favorable payment treatment.  They also recognize political pressure and know it's a dance; planning doesn't control silly overuse and lack of economic incentives.  They know the system will never be sensible until people start paying their own bills for service.  However they also aren't inclined to blurt out the truth to guys with an attitude.  


...

The vast majority of the uninsured do not need care –– they are young and healthy or they would already be in the safety net.  There is no uninsured crisis.  The cost of uninsured care in the United States is less than 50 billion, much less, because the bill of 120 billion is a bill of lost income, not cost.  Cost is half of that–– 40 to 50 billion, and the uninsured pay 40 or 50 billion, so one might call uninsured care a wash. It's not forbidden to pay for healthcare with cash money, is it?

So the cost of uninsured care is 2 percent of the total cost of American health care. The studies show that they don't suffer ill health because of lack of insurance –– that is another shibboleth put out by the left.  Lack of insurance is not a disease I know.

To address another obsession of the public and politicians, encouraged by my whining emergency physician colleagues, the uninsured who go to the emergency department are not that big a problem.  In fact the total cost for emergency care in America uninsured, and insured, is 120 million visits at a cost of less than 1000 dollars per visit. That is well less than 5 % of the 2 trillion plus total cost of healthcare in the US. So the crisis is?

So two phony crises are enough to take down the whole system and reconstruct it, and put it in the hands of the organization that gave us the FBI, the CIA, the State Department, the VA, the Post Office, the Department of Education, or the EPA and the Department of Energy and the Department of Commerce.   Is there a czar of national healthcare?

The premium cost and affordability that irritates the devil out of the common man and makes it impossible to find real catastrophic, cheap health insurance, could be fixed on Monday next if the state and federal mandates were removed and insurance  companies could get down and compete.  My cheap-as-possible catastrophic policy with a 10,000 dollar deductible (yes you read that right, that's the way big boys buy their insurance) would cost me a lot less than 4500 dollars a year, since I have never, ever filed a health insurance claim in my life (I am not unique, some people, even doctors, don't use health insurance to pay their medical bills).

So the problem is that the federal government proposes in its Healthcare Highjack Bill that they will fix the cost of health care and make it cheap and high quality when they caused the problem? The same outfit that made healthcare insurance premiums too expensive and restricted competition across the country says they are the solution?

We need to start over and ditch the guys from Chicago, they're always on the take and acting like thugs.

"So when can we quit passing laws and raising taxes? When can we say of our political system, "Stick a fork in it, it's done"? When will our officers, officials and magistrates realize that their jobs are finished and return, like Cincinnatus, to the plow or, as it were, to the law practice or the car dealership? The mystery of government is not how Washington works but how to make it stop." [P.J. O'Rourke]

That sounds good and all but your plan with the 401K isn't going to work out since you can only take a full withdrawal once you're 55 and retired, 59 1/2 or no longer employed with the company. Since you mentioned the penalty I assume you're not 55 and retired or 59 1/2 so you can't just pull it all out.

I'm not so sure of that. Yes, a lot of people voted for the fucker. But how many votes were the result of fraud? ACORN got sued by 14 states for massive voter fraud and was caught registering thousands of fake voters (dead people, infants, fictional characters, celebrities, etc.) and bussing homeless people from one polling place to another in many other states. Just how widespread was the voter fraud and how much didn't get caught? And who was counting all of the votes too? Remember, Obama is trying to put ACORN in charge of counting the votes next time.




In any case, it's looking more and more like I need to save up my cash and start planning to live off the grid.
