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.
Questions that we may see the answers to. We live in interesting times.

Jails, the next bubble.
