Healthcare Hypocricy?

I'm unfortunately in the gap so I'm stuck paying $96 next year to avoid insurance.

I am still not sure what to think of Obamacare yet. But I have enjoyed the large premium refund checks that I have received each year due to Obamacare (the provision that requires insurance companies to give customers refunds when the companies fail to spend at least 85% on health care).

This whole idea of thinking young people will be paying into the system to keep it going so that older people can be covered since theyre sick and need more care is interesting. Young people will be covered by their parents until age 26 so the plan must be to jack up the rates on parents.

Not enough people understand that the real problem here is too many people (like '11 and 1979) think healthcare should be free. It ought to be free. Why should you have to pay for it? It's important! You don't want people dying in the streets, right? It's not fair if you wake up and find you have cancer and then can't get insurance, right? Healthcare is important, vitally important, so it should be free.

The goal all along is to eventually get to a single payer because it's free and fair. The socialists have executed their plan beautifully.

Hold on, I just thought of something....housing is important too! Maybe more important than healthcare. I mean everyone needs a roof over their head, not everyone gets sick. Housing is more important than healthcare. Housing should be free too. So there, healthcare and housing free. Done.

Well we've about got everything fixed folks. What else is there?

I'm hungry. So I need free food. I also need transportation to get to the free food and free health care, because if I can't get there how will I be able to use it.

No the State of Kansas in its stupidity declined Fed funds for Medicaid and screwed the most in need.

Funds that would only cover things for a couple of years and then the State would be on the hook for it after that. Short term help for long term problems.

Three years to be exact.

The federal government wrote a law allowing state governments to exempt the most in need?

Yes and this silliness was put in it to appease a certain ultra right wing element of our govt. SICKO! Universal Healthcare for all!

[pinstripers]

Obama's family will not participate, but my family is forced to.

Wrong. It was mandated by the courts that states could opt out. The ruling was based on the law's three year window of covering 100% of all additional costs of the medicaid expansion. After three years, the federal government rolls back to 90%, leaving the states with a gaping hole. If you want to blame anyone, blame the democrats for drafting such idiocy.

Or do the usual and blame Bush.

[kcshocker11]

No one is exempt from the law . Obama's insurance meets the min. , like mine and millions of others and qualifies.
