If my common sense comes off as immoral to you then so be it, you step up and write a check out of your pocket.
Being financially raped by the medical industry is not a 'bad life choice.' You need to open your eyes and look around.

Normally that would be true. However Sen. Reid did not allow for anyone in the Senate, Democrat or Republican, to read the bill because it was never made available for anyone to read. They voted on it completely blind.

This stands out:

'The ruling, if ultimately upheld, could cut off financial assistance for more than 4.5 million people who were found eligible for subsidized insurance in the federal exchange, or marketplace.'

It seems it would be best if these people do in fact have their own country, where their devotion to selfishness can find full expression. I sure don't want them in the USA.
First off this attempt to paint anyone who does not agree with as you stated above. There is a difference of handing money to make them slaves of the Gov.

Jack the Ripper, a little far fetch. At least you could of been more creative!

Conservatives believe a hand up and help your fellow citizen. Not Carry you from Cradle to Grave. what a injustice of the human sprit and independent nature of Americans!

Does poster ,just like you want a Socialist Gov, like in Europe? When you taxed 60% of wages and you own nothing? Really?? Better rethink that.
Obama care is not only disapproved by Americans, (60%) but they are finding they are paying more, higher deductibles and good luck in finding a Doc. We need to start over with both Parties and the American People this time to come to a solution in a affordable health plan that does not break America. (This deserves a separate post)

If anything it would seam there is some, on the left, have no strength to stand on their own 2 feet.

Liberal doublespeak bs. Keeping money you EARNED is greedy and immoral, demanding money someone else earned is generous. Voluntarily donating money you earned means nothing, stealing what someone else earned is just and moral. How progressive liberals.

It is OK as long as you use someone elses money.

You can never legislate moral behavior. There will not be enough in the budget to ever enforce it and punish someone for having a cold heart.

Freedom, is freedom to choose. Not some bureaucrat making the choice for you and I.

You are correct. Every Republican in Congress voted against the abomination known as ObamaCare. Even 34 House Democrats voted against the monstrosity.

The stupidity known as ObamaCare is entirely a creation of liberal freaks. Democrats own it, and they are going to pay for it this coming November.

How do you know what choices they made?

I hope the people who may find themselves unable to afford coverage because of this ruling thank their Republican led state governments for refusing to set-up insurance exchanges. Moochers relying on the federal government to do their jobs for them.

It's not possible that Casper didn't already know that no Republicans voted for it. Not possible at all. He/She has spent far too much time here over the past several years and is informed well enough to make his/her not knowing an impossibility.

Casper, I don't know what your angle is with that feigned ignorance, but either get to your point or knock it off.
