Health Care Bill Passes 219-210Follow

Elinda,



Yes we know commies like to distribute freedom to whomever they like.

I don't know about you but I'd like a govn where every citizen is treated equally under the LAW and not a false sense of what may be fair.



Sweetums,



So is speeding. So are a lot of things. If the govn issues laws that they can't enforce all they're doing it creating more of a burden on those trying to live legally. Obamacare is going to make a lot more criminals that's for sure.

Not as many criminals as the War On Drugs made.

We were just recently given the freedom of choice to have a health assessment done for a discount on our premiums or suffer, yet another, rise in premiums.

The assessment is only a questionnaire at this point - mostly about lifestyle.

It's kind of odd though.

Semper Fi!

@belk, we're on page three, just ignore moe.

It's absurd to insist that people can just pick and choose a job.

On the contrary. I chose a job that is pretty damn good, and met my needs at the time. They would continue to give me medical coverage, just not as good as my husband's insurance. Therefore, I made the choice to switch to his insurance.

I am not particularly happy with the choices presented to me, no. And I am ecstatic that these choices will (hopefully) be made better. Not just for me, but for other people in the same and far, far worse circumstances than I am. I am not unhappy with the choices I have made, but I don't really like the fact that my choices are limited because I was born with a disease that manifested in my early twenties. I am very, very entitled to get affordable healthcare. If that has to come out of your pocket, then so be it. But no worries, Moe. My issues won't really effect you. I make good money, I can take care of myself. But it's nice to know that some of the elected officials in this country have my back, and understand that I should not be penalized for a genetic disorder.

I also worked hard to get where I am, Moe. I am also able to provide for my needs and the needs of my family. But, here's where we differ. I have a heart and would like to see that other people are afforded the same right to life that you and I are able to pay for. I don't think that the right to be healthy should depend on your tax bracket.

And I have a feeling that you would put us out if we were on fire. Otherwise, you might have to pay the doctors bills when we end up in the ER and can't afford insurance to pay for the bill.

The smartest thing said so far in this thread.

Followed immediately by one of the dumbest (If Varus could avoid the thread it'd be closer to the top).

People have lots of choices, but they also have lots of constraints, and to simply insist that someone has the ability to go out and find a job that covered their health care costs better is naive and puts that sentence well atop mine in terms of dumbest posts. Of course you were going for that.

Maybe.

It is to supporting this bill, which isn't an expansion of health care.

Or they work hard and are t3h dumbz, which is entirely possible. Apparently there are white landscapers out there.

If I had the power to do so I would mandate this very thing.

Only with regards to you, though.

Misunderstood "property." Regardless, this makes no sense.
