if this won’t gag a maggot what will?
What’s the betting pool on CBSABCNBC actually reporting this fact on the evening news????
LOL I don’t even spend half of that on living expenses per year. Shove that insurance up your 0bama!
So we'll work until April 13 to pay taxes. (Tax Freedom Day- 2009)
And then we'll work another 95 days till July 17th to pay for health insurance.
($12000/$46000=26.1%*365 days = 95 days).

I have been waiting for some organization (RNC) to put up one of those calculators that explains what this bill means for a family of four which earns x number of dollars in income a year. They should break it down by both insurance costs, increased medical costs, and extra taxes a year. Then they should remind people that costs for programs like this are always underestimated so they can expect to be paying even more.
After that they can explain the loss of doctors and services, the new taxes on various medical items, and the rationing and long waits that are to come. This fix actually makes the problem worse. People need to see that.
Someone can correct me if I am wrong but...
I saw on Fox Business that LARGE FIRMS will be fined $2000 per employee for NOT providing insurance.
Seems to me $2000 is a pittance, and that insurance policies cost much more.
So my guess is millions will be dropped on insurance, people will have to buy their own, won’t be able to afford it, and B. Hussein Obama will have his excuse for an “affordable public option.”
And there you have communism.
Well, there goes a third of MY income...
That is rather puzzling.
The democrats know that what they are doing is impossible and will result in the collapse of the American health care system and will further their goal of destroying the American free enterprise system and economy.
That's the idea. America must be wrecked and shattered in order for it to be rebuilt as part of a socialist global government instead of the impediment to that global government that it is today.
All of this is intentional, deliberate, and planned. And it's far from over.

As an employer I can tolerate that, but the employees sure are going to get a bum deal. (Including those I won't be hiring because my volume of business is reduced).
Of course the purpose of this $12,000 is not to buy the average family health insurance; it is for the average family to buy health insurance for everyone who does not buy health insurance.
And of course the purpose of the low ball fines to businesses that do not buy insurance for their employees is to force those employees in to the government option.
Yep. The rest of the socialist world sees the US as the biggest obstacle to world government there is at present. By passing this bill it will allow costs to increase even more than they are now, and many more people will be without insurance. Then they bring in the real government run health care when people are screaming for government to step in.
Create the problem then provide the solution.

My first thought after reading the paragraphs was “this is INSANE!”
Your employer will go to paying $2000/year to NOT provide health insurance to you, and in theory would pass on the savings for what it doesn’t spend. But it will now count in your taxable income. You end up scrod.
Just a little bit to late right now to do something like that. The vote is to be Sunday at the latest.
