Not "everyone".

It just forces people who earn more, to pay for their own. Those people also pay for some or all of the health care of people who earn less.

Obamacare's main purpose, is wealth redistribution. Health care is just the excuse.

If anyone dares to read what liberals were saying about "death panels" in Obamacare in 2009, feel free to click this link:

I'll even quote the very first liberal denier for you as a bonus :

Any other questions?


Exactly the way it was.

Gotta love a factual article from Real Clear Politics The current system works much better where health care companies can cancel insurance to those with serious illnesses or deny those with pre-existing conditions.

As I said earlier (and you posted several cases that confirm), in no case did these insurance companies deny treatment, or do anything that obstructed the doctors from giving treatment.

They merely declined to pay for them.

Your desperate efforts to pretend the insurance companies stopped the doctors and hospitals, is typical of a deluded leftist who has lost an argument, and so makes up new "facts" to try to compensate.

My sympathies.

BTW, you left out the numerous insurance companies that these patients had never signed up with. Those companies also declined to pay anything in these cases. By your logic, they are equally guilty of stopping the doctors and hospitals from treating those patients.
Okie dokie. I posted a link showing that people were indeed denied treatment BECAUSE their insurance agency denied to pay and somehow you turn that completely around. Deluded sure does cover that maneuver.

Are you chewing gum and attempting to type simultaneously? Practicing jump shots while wearing a speedo is not a good idea either. Quit it.

This is inevitable and something that I do not have a problem with as long as it's not made illegal to spend your own money.

And if the hospital "does it anyway," then who pays for it? Does the individual who can't afford it declare bankruptcy and the residual cost gets dispersed among other consumers in the form of inflation?

Or like the example of another poster a triple bi pass on a 87 year old man? How do you justify a 140 billion cost to keep people alive for less then 2 years? This is insanity and it is going to only get worse with the boomer generation, which I am part of by the way.
Well that's a damn fine question now isn't it? And we wouldn't have that issue if it weren't for this ridiculous b.s. Deathcare plan.

"Oh they wouldn't have paid for that, they can't get insurance at that age." Let me guess, that's what you'll say in response?

Here's the deal: I should be able to decide if I want my knee worked on even though I'm already in a wheelchair. YOU should be able to decide if you want your knee worked on even though you are already in a wheelchair. But liberals have decided that the government should make that choice for them. Easy to say now, considering many of them are young, and they can't foresee that far in to the future. I wonder what they will be saying when it's them in that hospital bed, and the good ol' gov that they gave all of that power to says, "You know, we COULD cure you, but, meh, you're old anyway. **** off. Doctor, unplug this useless, unnecessary person at once!"

Why are liberals so hell bent on killing everyone? From babies to the elderly, they can't wait to off a few hundred thousand every year. Sick freaks.
