Why didn't obama do his job and get everyone covered?

Why is this a half-*ss bill that STILL leaves a few million people not covered?

Doesn't seem very caring to me and didn't obama want to care for the uncovered?

Doesn't add up......doesn't pass the smell test.
The only way to cover everybody... single payer/UHC. Do you support that, or, as I said earlier... just showing your crocodile tears?

It's not a bill anymore. It's law. It's also posted on the internets. I believe you have access to that.

Yes. A number of anti-health care reform posters on this forum have said that they would agree to this plan. So, let them.

Thanks for the laugh!

So if you get a very costly illness to treat and can't afford to pay for it can the people that actually pay for their health care let you die?

The "I don't want to get health insurance" crowd has been allowed to steal from those that do pay for their health care for decades. Time to stop reaching in other people's pockets....

If you don't get health insurance, you will be sent to a concentration camp.

It's not if you have income with IRS, it's how much income you have...

And if I made what Wesley Snipes does I'd be glad to pay taxes...(:>)
Like I said. IRS and Franchise Tax Board are two different beasts. Don't EVER come to California. They will find a way to take money from you.

Millions can afford insurance - yet don't have insurance now. Millions.

This group will continue to no get insurance and go underground -

I can't wait for the first criminal prosecution (as provided for in the legislation).
