I have supported my claims where as neither one of you have.
Since you both have made it clear your only intention is to cause drama and call people names with the hope that it will distract others from realizing you both are wrong, there is no real point in continuing to prove both of you wrong since its very apparent neither of you are interested in the truth.
If either of you ever find the courage to actually answer the questions you are desparately trying to ignore let me know (although I wont be holding my breath).
You 2 kids have fun.

All Hail King Obama!
Are you retarded?
We all pay for the uninsured now.
Obamacare makes sure they have to chip in for themselves.

Two questions, keeping in mind that I AM "the uninsured":
1) How, exactly, are you "paying for"me? If you can be convincing and specific enough, maybe I'll have to send you a refund, eh?
2) What is it about this legislation that makes you think it will "make sure" that I do anything differently from the way I do things already?
Extra credit question: Are you able, ever, to reply to someone without attempts at condescension and name-calling?

Sounds about right.
The uninsured suddenly have money to 'chip in'? Lack of money (and jobs) is the reason that most of them are uninsured to begin with.
The reality of it all is that the rest of us continue to pay for them, plus another layer of bureaucracy.

AND on a different note, ponder this...so you are insured...how is paying your premium paying for your actual healthcare cost? just because an insurance company is paying most of the bill, how is it that you, the insured, are paying for your healthcare costs? person 'a'..40$ a month premium(employer insurance) X 12 months = $480, $480 X 6 years paying = $2880. 10 day hospital visit $12500 and alot of change....person'a' paid nothing out of pocket..all services covered at 100%, $8 co-pay of each of 4 meds....so did person 'a' pay for thier healthcare cost? .....(real story by-the-way, i guess this is one of those 'cadilac insurance programs', which will probably slowly evaporate into nothing).....somebody else did..an insurance company and people like me who have insurance, pay a monthly premium but never need to use it.so dont think that we are JUST paying for the uninsured who DONT PAY OUT OF POCKET, we are paying for the INSURED as well.......

...i mearly stated that its one of those 'cadilac' programs that may have higher premiums or be nixed..who knows what the future holds for them......
we can all complain about any or all aspects of the current system....we can all complain about any or all aspects of obamacare.....i dont think there will ever be a place that is acceptable to everybody...religous groups will invoke this or that complaint, politicians will complain about this and that, the insured will complain, the unisured will complain, illegal immigants will complain, you and i will complain........ what we want and what we choose are to different things....we all will make a chioce on whats most comfortable to us..........that said, this is a very interesting time to be alive
Wow, as usual, you said a whole lot of nothing.

You said it, not me.

Maybe you should read the entire bill and then come back with some knowledge and try to have this conversation. All of you using right wing talking points just sound ignorant and scared.
The reality of it all is that the rest of us continue to pay for them, plus another layer of bureaucracy.
How much more is it going to cost me?

As much as I'd like to accept that as an answer, habitforming said " Obamacare makes them chip in for themselves."

We will give them a tax credit so they can pay too, can't be a tax rebate since they pay no taxes to actually use a rebate. That is why only "the rich" get rebates since they actually pay taxes that a portion could possibly be rebated...lol
I love the left logic of "only the rich get rebates" no sh@t... Oh BTW "the rich" is anyone who actually pays taxes....
So I suggest we give them a health credit, just like Bush's child tax credit...that I never got though I have two children...
