Mandatory health care is not control of anything but the pockets and life of the people by the government and insurance companies.

Insurances and government will be controlling all of us.

Obama’s proposed solution to our health-care non-system, which is a national disgrace, will pour billions of dollars into the pockets of the very same people who caused the problem in the first place: insurance companies.


Under the Obama/Senate plan, the poor — individuals who currently earn under $14,500 — would be required to go on Medicaid. Unless they don’t qualify for whatever reason, in which case they would have to pay at least 2 percent of their income to private insurers or get dinged $750 a year.

The working poor, meanwhile, would get charged a percent of their income on a sliding scale. According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, federal subsidies for poor workers would be too low. People who earn between $14,500 and $43,000 a year would pay between 4 and 12 percent of their annual income to private insurers. (That’s right: Someone who makes $43,000 would have to shell out $430 a month. If they live in a high-tax place like New York, that would leave them about $2,000 a month to live on after taxes.) And let’s not forget about deductibles.

As anyone who has ever dealt with private insurance knows, deductibles are the odious practice of official non-coverage — insurance doesn’t start paying (if they don’t deny your claim for some reason) until you’ve already spent a certain amount that year.

I don’t know why conservatives aren’t talking about deductibles. They are one of the biggest secrets of Obamacare — and one of the most damning. Like the subsidies, the “actuarial value of coverage” — the percentage of medical bills your policy would pay every year — would slide on a scale. The more you earn, the more you pay and the less you get.

Under the Senate bill, for example, a family of three earning less than $27,000 — we’re talking poor people here — would be fairly well covered. ObamaCare would cover 97 percent of their bills. But a family of three earning between $45,000 and $73,000 would only have 70 percent coverage. In other words, they’d have to pay a third of their medical bills out of pocket.

There would also be co-pays: $20 per doctor’s visit, $250 if you had to go to the hospital, and lab tests and X-rays would come completely out of your wallet.

My dear it doesn't take a genius to realized that mandatory should not be anywhere near private business in a bill that can become law and is against the constitutional rights of the people.

This is the private insurance bail out after the direct give away to the Banking system

Wake up America.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People just do not stop and think about this things anymore. . .

But the Budget Act specifies that Congress must complete action on its budget resolution by April 15 of each year. Once the budget resolution conference report is adopted by both the House of Representatives and the Senate, its terms govern the remainder of the budget process for that year - meaning no further spending measures can be introduced, including healthcare reform.
