So tell me . . . Why should I pay the medical costs for people who refuse to get health insurance??? I say yes, if people refuse to get insurance, then tax them. I pay for my insurance, and have no desire to pay for freeloaders. Freeloaders who refuse to get insurance are a huge reason why healthcare costs so much. Every time one of those morons gets sick they go to the emergency room, and you and I end up paying for it.
Are you so willing to pay for freeloaders? If so, then please pay for my insurance too.

Dude, use that anger and apply yourself.
If you were in my town I would use you damn it.
Use that anger and begin interviewing for another position.
I know there ain't crap out there. I have been without a position really for over a year. Never been without a position before.
Frelling SUCKS.
Keep up the anger and apply it though. Get yourself a damn BEER if necessary. Give me a U2U if you get too out of control though.

After a little while, if we all continue giving them "bad days".....they'll stop coming.
If everytime the Brownshirts showed up at a Jewish home or business in 1930's Germany, they got beaten or shot, after a while, the Brownshirts would have stopped coming. Things would have been different. No concentration camps, no Holocaust.
It's no different now.
How much is Liberty worth to you? A question each of us has to decide.
Better to die on your feet, than to live on your knees. Isn't it?
I don't believe it will get that far. Most States are going to fight it tooth and nail. It's going to be tied up in the Courts for a long time. And it's pretty likely we'll see both Houses of Congress taken away from the Communists in November. At that time, smart Republicans and Independents, will simply run it through the repeal process, and it will be academic.
And we can enjoy the loss and humiliation it will cause Pelosi, Reid, and Obama.

To tax his ass.
Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.
Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.
Put these words
Upon his tomb,
'Taxes drove me
To my doom...'

Do not relax,
It’s time to apply

In the USA, people need to mortgage their houses (and often lose them) or die because there isn't a insurance company there who is willing to offer medical coverage at a rate they can afford.
This is one of the most important human rights issues within the USA boarder.
Now that people are forced to get health insurance, you and I won't be stuck with other people's health bill when we need health care. That will drastically reduce health care costs.... YAY.
If you can't afford health insurance after this reform, you might as well just go hang yourself and do us all a favor so we don't have to pay for your health care bills when you get hit by a drunk driver and are put on life support.
