Pelosi: Jail time “very fair” for failing to buy your patriotic ObamaCare coverage
Hot Air ^ | November 11, 2009 | ED MORRISSEY

Posted on 11/12/2009 11:05:09 AM PST by RobinMasters

It’s very fair to send people who disregard the federal mandate to buy health insurance to prison, Nancy Pelosi says, because otherwise they’ll assault citizens … with a bill for medical services … or something.

Apparently, the occasionally unhealthy have become such a security risk that we need to imprison them for opting to pay their own way. Infidels Are Cool has the key exchange::

This woman is stark raving nuts. I say let her shoot her mouth off. Let those who voted her in see her for what she is. Let them realize who her fellow travelers are. And then let them all defend themselves when they come up for re-election.

By then it won’t matter. Either there will no longer be elections, or not a one of these people will be viable candidates even for picking up dog poop.

I pray that if they’re going to pass something it has the jail provision in it. I honestly pray for that.

I would dearly love watching the chaos when some Obama supporters, expecting free healthcare, got a ticket to jail!

Once healthcare became a right, the government assumed the right to make us pay for the right, and reeducate us if we don’t understand. Of course, the reeducation isn’t for the poor people who depend upon the government for their healthcare. The reeducation is for struggling, working people who can’t afford the government standards, and while they get a lesson in the woes of disobedience, sympathetic social engineers will make the case for an involuntary, single-payer healthcare system. It’s all about power and control, and the redistribution of power from the people to the elites.

Most people support it, as far as I can tell. They were vocal here about the supposedly socialist public plan, which did not exist, and when it did not exist for sure, they fell quiet about the bill. They support Fascist Care, or Rush does, so they follow. Occasional they say it is “socialist” but when they see it is economically fascist, and understand it, they tacitly like it. Because they believe giving more to large corporations will make themselves rich somehow, sometime, somewhere. Forcing American taxpayers to give money to large insurance outfits ostensibly to pay for lower middle class private insurance. sounds good. Penalties for middle class unisured, even jail? They deserve it. Because Medicare bad, Fascist Super Romney care good!

Take the non-negotiation on Medicare drug costs. Obama follows Bush on this. Would not a real conservative want to get the best value for his tax dollar? Yes, but most self-identified conservatives are corporatists, fascists. Note their quiet compared to the public plan fakery. If the fascist leaders see some upwelling dissention, they trot out the “socialist” word which confuses most because it is not socialism, thus a successful suppression in favor of the forces of fascism, the public-private partnership.

A piece of that clip could make a great campaign commercial next year. That is, assuming someone on our side has the brains to make the election IN PART, a referendum on Pelosi.

Obama supporters will NOT have to pay full price for their required medical insurance,

guaranteed.

These apparatchik wannabes make sure their supporters are taken care of and their detractors are punished.

Ed writes:Of course, the other option is to make people responsible for paying their own bills. Nothing requires us to pick up the tab for people in clinics or emergency rooms, especially those who can afford to pay their way. This is the point that Pelosi and her statist colleagues seem to forget. People who choose not to buy coverage even though they could afford it assume the risk of paying out of pocket — and that may be a very rational choice, as it is most unlikely that those people would use $3,000 a month in medical services, which is what their insurance would cost now.

The whole problem what Ed is saying it is not credible public policy. If someone never bought health insurance then needs say an expensive treatment or procedure a hospital is not going to throw the person out and let him/her die. If you are going to force insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions and accept all comers you must force people to buy insurance or that will destroy the insurance market. Of course there is nothing necessarily wrong with the status quo where private insurance and the taxpayers pick up the costs of non-insured people.

Nobody is going to jail.

Unless you have money, then you will go to jail.

What nobody is taking about is that people who “can’t afford to buy insurance” will be subsidized.

That’s right, 40-50% won’t pay a dime while the rest of us work our asses off and risk jail time.

That’s exactly what will happen. It will be means tested because that’s the whole point of this bill to make folks who have the money pay for the medical coverage of those who aren’t covered.

This arrogant bit** is just another freeloader who is so important in her own eyes that she can dictate to other what they HAVE to do while excusing herself from the same requirements. ALL member of the elected sewer people in Washington have NO credibility with ANYTHING if they exempt themselves from while making rules for others. The blind moronic voters in this country will whine and complain and then put forth no effort to find out how their representative voted and blindly do the easiest thing an reelect the same person.

Well, if there were something in the bill, no congress critter read the entire thing. I heard part of the bill being read, and it makes no sense.

“Provision 16 - a - 3

replaces provision 12 - 14 - c

which replaces provision 6 - b - 2”

ETC.

I am not risking jail time. I am not paying. I am more than willing to die taking a stand on this very issue. Are they willing to kill me for it? That is the choice they will be faced with because jail time will not enter in the equation. I guess we will see.

Gee, Nancy—how expensive it is to keep otherwise law abiding and productive citizens in jail? Of course, its probably better for them in jail ‘cause the health care is sooo good. After all, that’s why everyone does anything at all—to get the health care.

They’re just being more upfront about their elitism lately.

They’ve always believed, as elitists and collectivists have always believed, that they are far too important to be held to the same standards and restrictions as the masses.

Is there a process for We The People to initiate and pass a constitutional amendment forcing the president and all House and Senate legislators to have to follow all national laws and not exempt themselves? How do we get this started? A lot of laws they pass would not be passed if they were also legally bound by them.

How do I get this started?

Ah! I see that there is not a way for us to make Washington DC politicians follow there own laws. There are only 2 ways. This can never come from the politicians themselves, eliminating the first means. And a constitutional convention has never and will never occur, eliminating the second.

We are so screwed.
