I guess it is all that love and concern the left wingers have for the poor that want to force people to buy insurance that cannot afford it or go to jail. If the democrats stay in power half of America will be living under bridges or in gulags.
Or FEMA Camps

You have to laugh at this. People that are too poor to afford insurance are now mandated to pay $15K per year...that's more than I pay per year under my employer's plan.

And this is the plan that would make insurance affordable for all ?
This is the plan that the Democrats are behind and think this is good for Americans ?

As some other poster stated..now we have a use for all those empty FEMA camps.

I can clearly envision their slogans whenever they start their advertising on PBS:

"Allowing squatters the opportunity to "imagine" home-ownership....one foreclosure at a time."

"Managed by ACORN....endorsed by your Govt......an EHO, caring agency with over 2 decades of experience in assisting thousands of families......pimps, prostitutes and as many underage illegals you wish to adopt.......a chance to achieve the American dream."

"Helping whoever in Hell you may be.....a chance to succeed and thrive in the community."

What you do after that......is not our biz".
"We'll even assist you with your tax forms."

15k!? I only pay approximately $5200 a year for insurance on my family of 5...and I am self-employed! They can take a long walk off a short bridge if they think this will fly.

You forgot one major advertising pitch:

"Free healthcare"

This is just another way for the government to gain control over our lives.

That is all this law is supposed to accomplish and some people are so partisan that they can't see what is going on. Well, we have tried and tried. Maybe after it is too late they will understand.

Maybe they can steal it from rich people before the government gets all the wealth distributed to make us all equal.

It won't take long. Those lower income folks with no insurance will not have a spare $15K.

I guess none of these people noticed that CBO says the Republican plan will cost $5000 less than the Dems. Oh well $10,000 is quite a wad too.

Nasty Nancy thinks she can twist enough arms for it to fly through her House and actually Dirty Harry thinks he can get enough votes to get it through the Senate. It may be time for people to start looking at what they are actually doing to us.
