Well, for some it indeed was, one serious accident or illness and they were in debt till the end of their lives.
From what I have read, the only regrettable thing about the new system is that it is messy because of all the compromises...
Compromises? When? Where? I guess you don't know that that bill was written behind locked doors in the offices of Dirty Harry Reid with only Democrat Senators, a couple of union heads and some more Obama men in attendance. Why would they need any compromises when there were no Republicans in attendance and no debate was done on the floor. Maybe you should study up on what took place with that writing from somebody a little less left leaning than the left leaners here.
But you haven't answered this question; how can MY decision to NOT purchase health insurance be defined as interstate commerce? If I purchase nothing, what commerce takes place?
If you are going to ignore my responses and repeat questions already answered, there is no point in continuing to respoind to your posts. I've answered your question. Please try going back and reading it.
That is the nuttiest thing I have ever heard. Healthy people who don't use many services are necessary to a universal system, to cover for the people who need a lot of care.
Like we old people? I bet your universal care would have to have to have some panels, like the Medicare panels in every state where they decide how much health care providers can be paid for the old people.
They didn't survive with thousands dying every year from lack of health cover. America is in BIG trouble because of the extremely bad administration before Obama took office. WELL DONE Mr President for actually trying to get things done for everyday American's.... getting America out of the deep hole that Bush and the Repubican's put America into and doing this despite the constant objections from the FAILED right.
EVERY American should get decent health care...... NOT just the wealthy!
Maybe you need to hide and watch what new things appear in Obamacare like the new bit of crap they stacked on Catholics. As time goes on new bits and pieces that have been there but never seen by anybody other than those who wrote that thing know are there.
Do you see those words in the Constitution with the other rights? Since you don't it must not be to anybody who is not a progressive.
