Mr. Obama said, “penalties are appropriate for people who try to free ride the system and force others to pay for their health insurance.”

Unless you are the one in Jail for not having insurance...
Curious he should use the phrase “free ride” considering he’s been on one his whole life.
Destruction of Freedom....
Since when did he get so concerned about people “riding the system” and not paying their own way?
Can somebody just freeze me then thaw me out when this is all over?
Questions not asked to Buttcrack.
“You mentioned that people of the US should have the same health care plan that congress has. Why is this bill so different and draconian than what you had as a Senators?
“Why has congress not included them in this far sweeping plan? If the bill isn’t good enough for congress to abide by, why is it good enough for the people of the United States?
But if you go to jail, you have healthcare, so you don’t have to be in jail anymore, so they let you out, but then you don’t have healthcare anymore, so ....
Leftists only get upset when they see productive people (ie, “whitey”) “riding the system”.

Are Congresspeople under the threat of fine and imprisonment if they refuse to be on Congress’ healthcare plan?
Wouldn't that be the President and members of Congress?
What about religious exceptions?
Do the Amish need to purchase government healthcare?
“Can I get me a buggy license here?”
Today, the government has a gun to my head and hisses, "If you don't pay for the support of others, people are going to die in the streets. You don't want people dying in the streets, do you Punk?"
That's the sign of a slave-based economy.
Obama has had a free ride all his life. He also will soon have a free ride right on out of office. How dare a president of the USA threaten a free people?
Now the fascist face of Obama is being revealed,and people say, "nah, it couldn't happen here!" HOw do YOU like him now, eh?
Its appropriate that Obama be impeached. Its time to stop the president from giving his toadies a free ride on everyone else.
APPROPRIATE INDEED.
I’ll be glad to give him my name and address if this goes into law. A warning though - Pack a lunch; it’s going to be a LOOOONG day!
You can say that again...
“But if you go to jail, you have healthcare, so you don’t have to be in jail anymore, so they let you out, but then you don’t have healthcare anymore, so ....”
Funny and true. They also can’t get you with tax evasion if you are in jail too.
You have to really follow teh audacity here. He is going to make everything cost more, he’s going to screw up the sytem, and he’s actually talking about you daring to take a “free ride” on the train wreck!
And Mr. Prez, everybody does NOT have to buy car insurance. Our cities are full of millions who don’t drive.
***Since when did he get so concerned about people “riding the system” and not paying their own way?***
So we can expect a new School lunch program insurance, Food stamp insurance and Rent subsidy insurance bill?
That still leaves a clothing insurance program pending?
“What are you here for?”
“Armed robbery. You?”
“No health insurance”
For the People,by the People and if you don’t like it,you can go to jail.
Good, we have a jail cell reserved especially for you and Michelle.
Obama said, “penalties are appropriate for people who try to free ride the system.And the cost for keeping people in jail would be?gawd obama is the poster child for idiots.
And that premium is not based on level of coverage - whether you, because of a higher paycheck, pay a much higher chunk that someone with a less paying job - you both get the same coverage.
And the red herring about equating in with auto insurance - it is NOT the federal gov’t who forces auto insurance on us or decides what the cost will be or takes it from our paychecks - AND we are NOT required to have auto insurance on ourselves or our vehicles - only liability to protect those we may cause damage to.
Whole different ball of wax. Obummer knows it - it's just his blatant disdain for the intelligence of the American people - which, in a great percentage of cases, is, I guess, justified. After all, the people elected HIM, didn't they?
Yeah, he’s really concerned. Tell that to the couple buying jumbo shrimp and sushi with an independence card in front of me last night at Wal-Mart. While I bought my store-brand shredded wheat.
Wow! A rare Quintuple!
“Armed robbery. You?”
“No health insurance”
...........and then all the murderers, rapists and drug dealers slowly moved away to the other side of room; Very slowly........
Do they get put in jail before they are treated for their health problem or after?
*You can say that again...*
I laughed out loud...you are good!
“Curious he should use the phrase “free ride” considering he’s been on one his whole life.”
Exactly.
I had no idea that FOOD STAMP DEBT CARDS were called Independence Cards - you can’t be serious????????
Should be called DEPENDENCY CARDS or GIFT CARDS from your hard working neighbor, the TAX PAYER!!!
First of all, this bill should not pass the Senate, but if it does.......it can never be implemented. And in certain areas of the USA if they attempt to press any kind of jail time (LOL), they won't have the available room to jail anyone.
When I go to jail, can someone send me a pack of cigarettes and chocolates.
Thanks in advance.
Very true. And the appropriate penalty is NO MEDICAL CARE.
Damn! I totally missed the brilliance of the Federal Health Care Bill.
ergo: Any person who does not have Medicare, Medicaid, Employer or private insurance will not dare try to get medical treatment. They will either self-medicate and get better OR get worse and die.
Persons too dumb to figure this out will go to jail and be billed for room & board & jailhouse health care.
Problem solved.
None, illegals are exempt from all penalties in the new bill.
...and creating a public disturbance. Then they all started moving back... </Alice’s Restaurant>
It's all in the wrist...
Obama only cares about the wrong people " free riding the system."
Excuse me for pointing out the obvious but this is the very definition of Congress.
Thats code for “whites not allowed”
In cas you missed this:
Couple of things to watch, IMO..
- Will there be a “National Healthcare Card” emerge as the means for providing proof of insurance? May not be a card, but you can bet your tookus there will be a database.
- Who will get exceptions and get free “public option” from Uncle Sugar? Illegals? Unemployed? Welfare? SEIU? This will determine how much wealth is transferred and how big the permanent Dem constituency becomes.
Good question. Someone needs to check the 2000 page monstrosity and see if that is covered. Seems like if there is no exemption for them, that would be some kind of state/religion thing.
The Great (Clueless) Uniter (GCU) Strikes again. This goes so far afield into implicit civil rights it should boggle the brain of any citizen who is not a "neighborhood activist."
This is a fundamental question about the role of government. Unless we deal with the Neofascists on the violations of "inconsequential" individual rights issues we can expect a lot more of them.
The "Great United" has no idea where he's going with this.
Are the homeless all headed for jail?
What happens after the first 5 years in jail? If they still can't afford it, do they go back for another five years?
Wait.
These unconstitutional proposal applies only to people with a job who pay income taxes? I shoulda seen that coming.
OK let's look at the crystal ball...
Five years in jail for choosing dangerous recreation forms:
Scuba diving
rock climbing
motorcycle riding
contact sports
Surfing
Skiing
Snowboarding
wind sailing
sky diving
flying for "fun"
sailplaning
mountain climbing
rock climbingPlease feel free to add to this list.
What are the means of policing the new criminals?
A new brown-shirted 300,000 member "Activities Police?"
"Not the biggest question?"
I suppose to an idiot who wants to bring tribalism African politics to the greatest nation on earth, that makes a perverse sort of sense.
What about those who don’t have health insurance, but pay their way out of their own pockets???
