I'm sick and tired of radical leftists controlling the debate by defining the terminology of the debate. I've already outlined a good number of my grievances HERE, so I'm not going to rehash in toto. The bottom line is that Obama is deceiving the Country by merely using the term Health Care - and we're aiding and abetting him by not calling him out.
Absolutely right! It was about CONTROL and WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION.
This guy nailed it.
I’ve been doing that for a while, but lately I’ve been thinking that “medical coercion” is an apter term.
and Health Control equals PEOPLE CONTROL!
The ultimate aim of the left!
I've long advocated that the system we now have where Federal and State governments mandate that healthcare providers must provide care regardless of ability to pay is an unconstitutional taking. It seems unconscionable to make other sick people pay for indigent care.
It's not that I disagree with those laws. I don't want a healthcare provider holding up emergency treatment while they check my insurance. But if government mandates the care to be provided, then government should pay for it.
This mandate tax does help incent people to buy insurance, and if they don't but have the income, thus the ability, it provides government revenues.
The thing I don't understand, is how the penalty tax gets back to the care providers, if it ever does. It seems unlinked and that's not good.
Also, this doesn't solve the problem of the truly indigent. They won't be paying the tax or buying insurance, and the next sick person in line will still be paying for them.
But the real problem with Obamacare isn't the mandate, it's government getting into and taking over insurance and care decisions. It will either wreck our government financially, or wreck the quality of care, or more likely both.

It is about control.
If it was about insuring the uninsured, they could extend medicaid to the uninsured with about a two page law.
So, what are the other 2698 pages for?
Control.
Are millions of lower income people uninsured? Yes. Thats what Medicaid was supposed to be for. If you aren’t reaching the people you want to reach, modify the rules on who qualifies. Done. Need money to pay for it? Raise a tax, or cut something else to make room for it in your budget. No need for 2700 page laws followed by 60,000 pages of regulations each and every year.
If Obamacare is so desireable, then why is it that our senate and congresscritters, who voted for it, do not want any part of it?
This truly exposes them as the elitist frauds that they are.
It doesn’t even have anything to do with ‘HEALTH’.
It is about setting up a GIANT POOL of funds that can be raided by our ‘ruling elite’. The bigger the ‘fund’ the more can be taken.
It will end up like the SS System. A pile of IOU’s that can’t be paid.
BTTT
HEALTH CONTROL!
