You have to be real, here. Penniless citizens will have health care insurance, like they have welfare now. 95% of the uninsured are not the
penniless, as you note. They are people who elect to avoid having health insurance because they feel they won't have anything go wrong with them.
When it does go wrong, they wind up bankrupt, and receiving health care. Debts are dissolved to others (would you like it if they owed you?) and you
pay for their health care. That plan is not working. We need to get people covered to reduce the cost to the rest of us. We are paying for them
now.
what about the other 5%? ya know that ones who really can't afford the insurance? what about the ones who are chosing not to have because the
alternative is to go without a car to make it to work, or the roof over their head, or the food on the family's dinner table??
how many more homes will go into forclosure because the once two income earners have become one and now that one has to provide the health insurance
for the entire family...or at least one once income earner now uninsured?
how many bankruptcies will result mainly because of this law? so, the once two income family becomes one, and has an insurance problem. so, now you
want to take the one and tax the hades out of them and send them to jail because they aren't able to insure the unemployed, maybe even themselves???
and well, we can live without the labor that one contributes to society, we can live without the care and nurturing they may provide to their
children, we can live without the tax revenue that they are generating, we can live without their consumerism generating the economy.....
we can trade all that for a nice big bill for incarcerating them!
either our elected respresentative are the dumbest people on the planet, or they are deliberately trying to kill our country off!! I'd go with the
second guess here.....there can't be that many people that dumb!
