At least in jail I'd have three hots and a cot, a library to work on my masters, a gym to get buff... and free health care!

That is the one part of his "proposal" that I support. Here is the problem. If you don't force people who can afford health insurance to get it, then you force those with insurance to pay for those people in the form of higher hospital charges and, thus, higher premiums. This is all because of the mandate that hospitals have to treat the sick and injured regardless of their willingness or ability to pay. You can't have one without the other. My personal feeling is that those who can't or choose not to pay should have to go to charity or public hospitals, but that will never fly with the liberals.

This is something I love bringing up to some of my more liberal co-workers (especially the ones who don't know my politics). When they mention supporting a new law, I ask them, "Do you support the use of force to enforce that law?" and the answer is almost universally no.
I then explain to them that basically all laws exist as a sort of "do this or else" statement with the force of arms backing it up. I ask them, in light of that, if their neighbor chose not to comply with the new law, and chose to resist the states attempts to force his compliance, are they OK with him being shot over it? It tends to get people thinking about whats really important and whether or not some ideas need laws backing them up. |

The mandatory insurance idea looks good at first, but since there is such a problem with it, then maybe those who opt out now cannot be seen at a hospital without insurance.
In other words, remove the law that requires hospitals to treat everyone, and replace it with a law that requires them to treat those with insurance instead. |

BS - if you can afford health insurance (i.e. ability to pay) and choose not to have it, you are on the hook for any hospital charges. The mandate of auto insurance is completely different. You are required to have auto insurance as part of being licensed to drive on the road so that when you run a red light and broadside someone, the other guy is covered. You are not required to have auto insurance for any damage to your vehicle. This health care insurance scheme is akin to making you cover your car for full replacement value, get an extended warranty for the life of the car and a package to cover all routine maintenance....except health care is just a bit more important. |

Mandatory insurance is a good idea when there is potential liability in the millions of dollars that you can incur. If you don't like the industry, have the government make a competing system. It's also usually possible to avoid insurance if you put up a huge bond in most states (so if you can let the state hold on to +50k, you are fine without insurance). |

Requiring people to report on their tax returns that they didn't have insurance for certain months is unconstitutional.
Here's why; under this proposal having health insurance will be mandatory beginning in 2013. Not having insurance will be unlawful. If you break the law you cannot be compelled by the government to incriminate yourself. This violates the 5th Amendment. |

If you file and owe them money and don't pay it there is no criminal act. If you work on the books as opposed to a 1099 then they can put a lien on your wages. If you own property they can put a lien on it. jail? No Only if you fail to report income (intentionally) |

All aboard the fucking FAIL train. 30,000 a year for doctors. My fucking trash man makes more then that.
Thank God that the neurosurgeon who repaired a fucking anuerysm in my head before it popped makes probably 20 times that. Otherwise a man of his genius would never have gone into the field, would never have worked 20 fucking hours a day for 20 years to learn his trade, and would never have racked up $250,000 in student loans to get there. Goddamnit people. If you don't want to pay the doctor the amount they are willing to exchange their services for, don't fucking do business with them. What you just proposed IS SOCIALISM. Might want to look up the terminology before you start using it. Doctors don't spend their lives working and going to school, away from their families, so that they could be there to take care of your dumb ass when you get sick. They work for the same reasons the rest of us do, to take care of their families and to provide for their own self-interests. Its not a fucking charity people! who the hell wants to do all the work and make all the sacrifice to become a doctor if you can make the same living picking up trash.

Instead of stealing my money to pay for this shit .Why not cap DR's ,Nurses ,and anyone else in the healtcare feilds pay to say $30,000 a year average . limit medical lawsuits to $20,000 Max and do away with medical liability insurance .Patients can pay upfront or before they leave just like when you get your car worked on ! this shit is so easily fixed .But this is not about fixing anything it is about Making the US a Socialist Nation . And what exactly do you think draconian salary caps are, exactly? I was responding to a healthcare worker who thinks it is ok to steal my money to pay for his deadbeat patients I was just putting the shoe on the other foot .Just saying ! |

The price of everything, not just health care, is adjusted to factor in deadbeats. In other industries it has different names - theft, chargeoffs, reposession, foreclosure, etc. |

That is the one part of his "proposal" that I support. Here is the problem. If you don't force people who can afford health insurance to get it, then you force those with insurance to pay for those people in the form of higher hospital charges and, thus, higher premiums. This is all because of the mandate that hospitals have to treat the sick and injured regardless of their willingness or ability to pay. You can't have one without the other. My personal feeling is that those who can't or choose not to pay should have to go to charity or public hospitals, but that will never fly with the liberals. You just automatically assume that anyone who can afford insurance, but doesn't, will skip on hospital bills? Tell you what sport, feel free to pay for your own health care, plus all the tallest buildings in every major US city that those...highly efficient...insurance companies put up, but keep your hands OUT of my pocket. I insist. Uh, I'm in the healthcare industry, and no, most don't pay. The states make it difficult for hospitals to collect those debts too. I agree that the main problem is the treatment mandate, but that is not going to change. Instead of stealing my money to pay for this shit .Why not cap DR's ,Nurses ,and anyone else in the healtcare feilds pay to say $30,000 a year average . limit medical lawsuits to $20,000 Max and do away with medical liability insurance .Patients can pay upfront or before they leave just like when you get your car worked on ! this shit is so easily fixed .But this is not about fixing anything it is about Making the US a Socialist Nation .
All aboard the fucking FAIL train. 30,000 a year for doctors. My fucking trash man makes more then that.
Thank God that the neurosurgeon who repaired a fucking anuerysm in my head before it popped makes probably 20 times that. Otherwise a man of his genius would never have gone into the field, would never have worked 20 fucking hours a day for 20 years to learn his trade, and would never have racked up $250,000 in student loans to get there. Goddamnit people. If you don't want to pay the doctor the amount they are willing to exchange their services for, don't fucking do business with them. What you just proposed IS SOCIALISM. Might want to look up the terminology before you start using it. Doctors don't spend their lives working and going to school, away from their families, so that they could be there to take care of your dumb ass when you get sick. They work for the same reasons the rest of us do, to take care of their families and to provide for their own self-interests. Its not a fucking charity people! who the hell wants to do all the work and make all the sacrifice to become a doctor if you can make the same living picking up trash. Do you really belive with obamas socailist medical plan your DR would continue to make the salary he deserves . Again I was responding to a healthcare provider who thinkds it is ok to steal my money to pay for his deadbeat patients .I was just putting it back on him , I'm glad you are ok .BTW under the obama plan you may or may not have qualified for that surgery you mentioned . |

If you cannot afford to pay the DR don't go .Why do you people think it is ok for others to pay your way in life .It seems we have a whole generation of people who believe in entitlements . We are fucked . |
