Sure, for basic emergency care that is true. But now everyone will have insurance. This means those people that go to the doctor for every little thing, those people that waste way too much time and money because someone else is paying for it and they don't have a job so they've got plenty of free time to find new ways to complain about something, they'll all be going to the doctor. Constantly. And we'll be paying for it.
And on the other end of the spectrum, people who don't want health insurance or never visit the doctor, for example 18-29 year olds, are now being forced to pay for something they don't use.
But somehow this is legal.

It's a sad day when I'm forced to cheer for that group of religious zealots. Fuck Jimmy Carter, B. Rock's got the potential to beat out Hoover for being oblivious to reality.

Well if that's the case I would like to stop paying school taxes. I have been out for 25 years now. Why do I have to pay for someone else your kid to be educated.
In marriage there is always one person right. And the other one is the husband.

Yeah, so would lots of folk. However, I honestly wouldn't mind supporting a sane, well-defined, effective education system. Too bad this country doesn't have one of those.

Yes. I asked the wife she says most of her family back home have insurance. This would be Dearborn or middle east shit. But I wonder if it can be challenged on a religious basis. What about the Amish.

All because a religion says something is so doesn't mean people won't ignore that. Because most people don't approach their religion in an honest and logical manner, they just make up any old shit that suits their needs that day.
After all, if they were capable of rationality they wouldn't be religious in the first place.

Good post on the true cost of ObamaCare. But it gets better: the Dems are now shaking down CEOs who don't get with the program. In the attached letter, Henry Waxman not only orders the CEOs of AT&T, Caterpillar, Deere & Co, and Verizon to testify before the Energy and Commerce Committee, but also to produce internal analyses and emails related to their statements. They don't expressly subpoena the CEOs, so we can hope that they tell the Dems to GFY, though somehow I doubt that will happen.
The Dems sent these letters to the Republicans on the committee after 6pm tonight with no advance notice or prior cooperation.

wrt #2: It's been $1.25 billion so far. The issue was that basically companies could double count certain expenditures for retirees twice towards tax write-offs. The law makes it so that they can only deduct it once.
