If government actually solved a problem, there would be no need for it. Thats why it only fucks it up more with red tape and more stupid shit.

I hate obamacare. It has done nothing but ruin my health coverage I could afford to something I will NOT comply with no matter what jail time they threaten. Friends and family alike.

Moochele said that Obamacare was a "holiday treat", this is how out of touch this ass clown is.

The brownshirts are coming to force thier way of life on the rest of us. Nanny state authoritarian style.

 

Ignoring the fact that Obamacare is pretty broken as it's written, do you not think you benefit from having the rest of the country healthy enough to work rather than needing continual expensive emergency treatment that doesn't fix them enough to be able to get a job?

Also, I believe the penalty is only a fine and not jail. So it's a financial decision you're making really.

My views on how to resolve healthcare woes align with Ron Paul.

http://www.ronpaul.com/on-the-issues/health-care/

"In the days before Medicare and Medicaid, the poor and elderly were admitted to hospitals at the same rate they are now, and received good care. Before those programs came into existence, every physician understood that he or she had a responsibility towards the less fortunate and free medical care was the norm. Hardly anyone is aware of this today, since it doesn’t fit into the typical, by the script story of government rescuing us from a predatory private sector."

"Under a liberated health care system prices would come down and additional options would become available, thereby making health care much more affordable. Moral corruption would give way to true compassion, and many doctors would remember their implicit obligation to provide free medical care to those in need, just like they did in the past."

I am so glad I live in a country that has Universal health care for all its citizens. I am fortunate that I do not live in America. Health care should be available for all citizens and not just for the wealthy that can afford it.

It IS already available to everyone and you cetainly do not need to be wealthy.   From free clinics, public hospitals that accept anyone (insurance or not), employer based insurance, Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare, it's there for everyone.  Ironically, it is the latter three (government programs) that are the cause of the increased costs over the past few decades.

I know it's a common misconception that healthcare in the US is only available to the wealthy but it's incredibly falsified to the point that it's almost laughable.
Those in other countries hate it when Americans generalize and believe misconceptions about their own countries...well, we don't like it on us either.
