The rest of us will still have to pay the new taxes. But this isn't about health care and it never has been. This is about seizing control of our incomes in the name of health care reform. Once single payer is enacted, the premiums, fines and all other taxes that can be rationalized will be diverted to other projects that buy votes for Democrats (see stimulus) while the new public option is grossly underfunded. The long waits for treatment will be used to further justify even more taxes, fees, fines and higher premiums. The stimulus was a one time deal, but this scam is the gift that keeps on giving. Public option is essentially Christmas morning for Democrats all year long.
No no, I would like the opt-out would cut you off completely.
This September, Do You Believe Obama Will Try To Ram Health Care Down The Throats of Americans Who Do NOT Want It
Don't want, don't use it. Not coming out of your pocket so why would you care if someone without healthcare coverage gets some? Besides, we are not allowed to pick and chose which programs we allow our taxes to pay for, only those that make those choices for us, don't like their actions vote them out, if you can.

where is all of this indignation each and everytime our TAX dollars was sent over to other countries? Where was all of this bytching when billions of our tax dollars funded this defuncted IRAQ war and still continues to fund it. And before anyone says anything, yes the troops need to come home.
Why can't those who do not want it have an "opt-out" option?
Then we could just ignore you all...
Why can't drivers who don't want auto insurance "opt out" of having it?
Why can't those opposed to the War of Aggression in Iraq "opt out" of paying for it out of our tax dollars?
The government exists for one reason and one reason only, to protect the citizens of this nation. There are numerous ways they can do this, including ensuring the population is educated, funding and training a military against physical attacks, providing infrastructure for commerce, overseeing imports and exports, regulating businesses to protect citizens from corporate bad acts, and, amongst many other examples, some of us argue, provide for the general health of its citizens.

If you are truly a Marine cap. as you state whether retired or in service, then it doesn't affect you since you already get government healthcare.
Kind of a hipocrate aren't you?

If "us" is people making over $250,000/yr (single; $400,000/yr family), yes you will pay more taxes.
But that's good for everyone, "you" included.
Nah. It might start at those making over $250K but anyone with a few brain cells working knows that isn't going to do it. The tax increases will eventually creep down to all working people.
It's stupidity really. We're told not to count on SS being there although we've paid into it our whole working lives. I suspect it will be the same for obamacare. Pay for it, but hope you don't need it, because it won't be there for you.
I saw it, but obviously misinterpreted its meaning. I repented for my sin with a rep point your way.
