I have private insurance for my family and kids. I spend about $1,000 per month with a very high deductable. If Obamacare passes Sunday I might just cancel everything. I’ll be covered now, right?
Treat 'em for free yourself, you ignorant slut.
Wait just a freakin minute....what about the outragous cigarette taxes we have been paying to fund this?...oh wait nevermind.
Not for 3 years, I guess. The taxes start now, but no “free” care until 2013, or 2014(?)
Are they going to refund all the tobacco tax they collected to pay for this crap?
Vchips! Schips! I’m never gonna get used to Big Brother communism. Good question about the tobacco tax the Kenyan bass turd laid on us before his ass even hit the chair in the Oval Oriface.
Didn’t they have to cancel this in Hawaii as well.
Too many well paid citizens glomming onto the system.
No, you’ll be fined. $2,500 or 2% of your income.
Doctors are too dedicated, but they need to go on strike. For just one day. It’s a scary thought but I think it needs to be done...maybe with the exception of emergency services...?
Hold on a moment, the state cuts 'em loose because the state can't afford it and the state is bad. The physician cuts 'em loose because the physician can't afford it and the physician is a victim? ummmmm?
No cancellation of schip in my state,the dems are going to raise taxes again, by $800 million,the a$$holes ran up a $2.8 billion budget deficit.
Bet they don’t cancel the taxes.
Are they going to refund all the tobacco tax they collected to pay for this crap?
Oh, those taxes. I guess those went to provide cushy jobs for lazy cousins and drunken slob brother- in-laws.

Throw your mortgage in there, and keep running the family jalopy on fumes.
Obama will be filling your gas tank, too.
“Arizona has become the first state to cancel its State Children’s Health Insurance Program, which, like other SCHIP programs, is funded jointly by the state and the federal government.”
Wow, that’s great. Too bad we can’t stop the taxes on Arizona smokers.
I like this though. That is probably the way to fight the Federal Govt going forward. Seceding isn’t realistic, at least not in one step, but the good states where enough people reject socialism could just stop taking part in these programs. The downside is the state’s citizens still have to pay the taxes, but at least the state won’t race into bankruptcy. Perhaps the state could take half of the money they would have spent on each program and refund it to the tax payers each year so they can see the benefits of rejecting these programs.
Other good things about doing this. The useless leeches will probably pack up and leave to the socialist states. Businesses will probably be attracted to states that do this too. Basically, the good states can make themselves so inhospitable to the lazy and useless people that it would have the effect of driving them all elsewhere.
Eventually, the Federal Govt’s demands on the tax payers of the good states would become so high seceding would become necessary, but at least they wouldn’t have to take such a huge step all at once.
Arizona hospitals spend $150 annually on illegals’ care. Some rural hospitals have had to downscale or close (in 2003 77 border hospitals filed for bankruptcy)
Health department in Cochise spends 1/3 of its budget on care for illegals
Maricopa County Hospital loses over $2 million weekly on uncompensated care due to illegal aliens.
Over half of all AHCCCS births are from illegal mothers; 1/3 of children in Arizona have immigrant parents
Same as I'm sure Illegals will be happy to pay their $750 fine for not buying insurance? Oh, they won't be able to be found to make them pay? Oh, I see, just white people who have valid Social Security numbers and file their income taxes. Ok, I get it.
