Gotta give the owner of the website some credit, though, they jumped on a domain and put up a website that is chock full of advertisements hidden in such a way that they actually look legitimate. They even tossed in a nice little mailing list link so that they can sell you something down the road. Internet marketing is great.

I'm wholeheartedly opposed to Obamacare, but I'm even more opposed to trashy websites like that one.
I'm sorry I'm not a newspaper editor. Did that confuse you?

Try this.

That settles it!!

Hey! Every American COULD have insurance under ANY healthcare system.

Glad to know now over 100,000,000 Americans fell hook, line and sinker for a theory.

It didn't confuse me, it just isn't a well-built website. Not trying to be personally offensive, but considering that a large portion of my income comes from content writing I just have to say that proofreading is a good thing, and Google gets really cranky about websites that disguise advertisement links as "legitimate" links. That website is walking a thin line, from what I can see.

Maybe they should hire people to delete unregistered websites. It would make less stupid and needless info.

I've worked for nearly 40 years. I would have many times in the past, have had the luxury of choosing the coverage I want, not what the employer provides, and at the same time enjoy group coverage protection. But you most likely wouldn't know what the hell I'm talking about. And if you weren't so ignorant it should have dawned on you why in the hell should employers be burdened with providing health insurance to their employees, especially in this global economy. For Christ sakes its a remnant from WW2!!! And the idiotic system of healthcare delivery has been piled on and piled on for sixty GD years.

Please tell me this is not true because if it is Obama has to be the dumbest man who ever stepped foot in the white house.
Basically, today's government just wants your money, whether that comes in the form of fines or high taxes jettisoned away from people's paychecks. Whether one is employed or not, it won't matter; this stupid law is going to bankrupt everybody. This thing must be defunded by the House by September 30 if the American Dream, as we know it, is to stay alive.

I guess you thought I was referring to you when I used the term RWNJ. I actually said, "RWNJs running red states" so unless you're a member of the "Death Panel" of GOP Governors your self-identification with the term was inopportune. Regardless, stooping to name-calling another poster is a great indicator of your own character and speaks for itself.

And people such as those that the OP referred to are human beings. Their life and health is more important in the big picture than a taxpayer being able to afford that third HDTV or yet-another trip to Florida. Selfishness is not a virtue, even when promoted by "RWNJs running red states". The moral deficiency of those who refuse to conscientiously acknowledge and abide by remediation of the gap that the OP pointed out is just a reflection of the truth and cancerous entitlement mentality afflicting our nation.
Leviticus 19:10: "Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the alien. I am the LORD your God."

Mark 10:21-22: Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, "You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me."

Atharva Veda 3: 24-25: One may amass wealth with hundreds of hands but one should also distribute it with thousands of hands. If someone keeps all that he accumulates for himself and does not give it to others the hoarded wealth will eventually prove to be the cause of ruin.

Surat Al-Baqarah 2:177: Righteousness ... gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves.

Buddha: Joy comes not through possession or ownership but through a wise and loving heart.
It's amazing that every major religion, and ever major Atheist body of morality, recognizes and acknowledges what those RWNJs running red states fail to understand. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that their immorality, their self-centeredness, their callous disregard for those less fortunate is something worthy of your abiding or admiration. Don't let yourself become as abusively egoistic as those RWNJs running red states.





I don't think you'd be last on line to proclaim "Separation of Church and State!" in other circumstances.

The best part is that the business coverage requirement has been "postponed". So now Obamacare will force individuals to buy insurance or be taxed. Sounds like a good deal for businesses.
