Big sign says Best Buy! Small print says No Returns or refunds.

Bring it to the checkout and hand over your credit card without ever asking "How much?"
Yet so many of you appear to trust that sign and accept whatever program has been hastily thrown together for your health care even though you have no idea what the cost will be.

I think many figure if you get to the checkout and run short that the 'guy behind you' will pay the difference so no worry.

Some percentages of income have been tossed around .....10%...12/13/15.....but none have been set.
Deductibles and co-pays haven't been set.

In fact, unless I have missed the announcement of things, none of you know what you will be paying or even what you will be buying.

Don't you think something this basic should be known first before you get to the buyers remorse of the No Returns or Refunds stage?

If I have missed these figures, please point them out to me.
I know how much my "free" Medicare costs me......probably as much or more than a lot of you pay now for private coverage.

It's even worse than that. They don't even give you the option of declining the purchase. They want your credit card number and access (literally) to your checking account for automatic deductions.

America yawns and flips over to Idol.

Obama has them convinced its free and they want anyhting that is free;especailly if you tell them someone else is paying. They never learn that in the end ;you will pay either in higher taxes ;less jobs or higher prices.That is why the poor are poor;like congress they are not interested in reading or know the facts before signing on.

What?
Nobody is offering to tell us what they're personally going to be paying for this?
Wish I could hawk a product that people would buy without asking "How much?" much less "What will I be getting for my money?"
