This is just a 6 of one, half dozen of the other. But OHHHHH it's SOCIALISM!!!!! Good lord I'm gonna move to Canada I swear.
And the 17 million more on medicaid.. this is how the paying ones have to pay for the 17k newcomers coming on the healthcare rolls.

I currently don't have health insurance since I turned 26. But I was glad to stay on my Mother's insurance that extra year when that bill was passed.

Back when I was 26 I chose not to buy health insurance and saved up for a car instead.

I was grateful yesterday. I just paid my second months health insurance for people with pre-existing conditions. (PCIP) It's crap insurance, but it's better than nothing. PCIP ends in 2014 when the private insurance exchanges open...

Hospital CEOs are thrilled with it. There's no question now that their multimillion dollar bonuses can't be much bigger -- heck -- with all that money being grabbed from the little people, this is great news.

Hahahhaha hahahaahaahaha - that's too funny! Why would insurance premiums decrease? When have they ever decreased? Unlimited free health care for all won't have premiums decrease.

You only have to buy this insurance IF you are a citizen. Illegals aren't being required to pay anything -- yet they will continue expecting nothing but free health care. No taxes, no penalties, no mandatory insurance for the over 30 million foreigners here illegally.

It might be best for those who don't want to buy insurance just to claim they are not citizens. Then they will be completely off the hook.
