(State Sen) Brown wants MT to opt out of healthcare reform
Montana's News Station ^ | Nov 2009 | non provided

A landmark health care reform bill narrowly cleared the House over the weekend with a 220-215 vote and now the measure heads to the Senate where its future seems much more uncertain.

The House plan calls for 36,000,000 uninsured Americans would get coverage. The bill would cost $1.2 trillion over 10 years, but it will cut $400 hundred from Medicare expenses.

While some are very pleased with the newly passed plan, others are still finding faults, with one Montana legislator saying that the state can't afford the measure.

The House plan calls for 36,000,000 uninsured Americans would get coverage.

What that should say is: The House plan calls for the forced enrollment and purchase of Obamacare policies or face jailtime for ALL Americans (except the elite rulers, ya know)

Yep, that receipt for health insurance could be our keep out of jail card.

We need to start making overtures to have it numbered so it can be used for voter ID (that will kill it for sure).

OK - so let's say a million people do not buy insurance and they are sent to jail where they get FREE HealthCare-FREE Dental Care-FREE Food-FREE eyeglasses_FREE legal representation - well, which jail do they go to?

How much does it cost to jail the people?

Does the jail costs 'count' against Health Care Bill? - meaning Health Care is going to cost more.

What 'legal force' is going to assume responsibility to arrest all these people?

What court system are they going to be tried in? How about the appeal system?

How much tax revenue will be lost because an additional "million' people are on the state dole vs. working and paying taxes.

Is there room available in the jails today - or are they going to have to build new jails?

Who is going to alow additilonal jails to be built in the neighborhood or do all the senators say NIMBY?

Does the extra costs associated with the new jails going to be costed against the Health Care Bill?

Just a few questions.

Simple. More work for State employees and their unions. That’s always good, right?

Jails, the next bubble.
