But...but...if they can’t “participate”, won’t they STILL have to go to Hospital Emergency Rooms because they are STILL not covered?
Clearly, except as a deceptive cover story, Obamacare has very little to do with “health”...

We all live in one giant prison grid already, with the dome (skies) controlled just like in “The Truman Show.”
We’re already used to being strip-searched, watched by cameras everywhere we go, needing to show “papers, please” (especially within 100 miles of any border, such as where I live), subjected to drug tests and breath tests, etc. Not too far off to simply pick a slightly smaller prison.
Obama Admin. Actuary Finds Unsustainable Status Quo Cheaper than Obamacare
http://spectator.org/blog/2009/11/16/obama-administration-actuaries
One of President Obama’s primary justifications for pushing health care legislation has been that the status quo is “unsustainable” because of the skyrocketing cost of medical care in the United States. The way to rein in costs, he argues, is to do adopt the policies that he and his fellow Democrats are proposing. But a new report by the government actuary at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a branch of the Obama administration’s Department of Health and Human Services, has found that the exact opposite is true. CMS took a close look at the health care bill that was passed by House Democrats and endorsed by the White House, and it found that not only would the bill not reduce health care costs — it would increase them. Time and again, we have been reminded that the United States spends a higher percentage of its GDP on health care than any other nation — about 16 percent. As Obama but it in his June speech to the American Medical Association, “If we fail to act, one out of every five dollars we earn will be spent on health care within a decade.” Yet if we adopt the legislation supported by Obama — which finances expanded coverage through tax increases and Medicare cuts — health care spending will actually rise to 21.1 percent of GDP, according to CMS, compared to 20.8 percent if we simply do nothing.
“So they just show up at ER when they need treatment, can’t be refused, and who pays for it?”
Good question. I suspect, that it will just go into higher premiums for citizens or lower Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements for doctors—just like it does now.
Why do they call this Affordable?
Almost everything radicals give a name or title is the opposite of what it sounds.
The saddest part of all this is what g’mnt does to the actual working poor.
By actual I mean the people who try to get by without the help of the g’mnt.
Which, sad to say, are fewer and fewer people who do not give in and take the g’mnt cheese.
I grew up “poor”.
Although my friends family who got the full government package. Lived in a clean modern “project housing” that was toasty warm in the winter and cool in the summer. They had a big color tv with cable (HBO), always had a running car, and plenty of food. Oh, and healthcare.
As far as I could tell they what was wrong with the old man was he had a limp and was a little over weight. He never had any difficulty setting up at the Flea Market.
Likewise, his wife was a little plump.
Democrat programs always reward undesirable behaviors and punish desirable behaviors.
If there is one that rewards legal, working citizens who play by the rules and laws of the USA, please inform me.
I can't think of one.
So, you are saying that it is only false cause less people will be paying this? As a member of NAR, this tax exists. And, by the way, NAR can suck it.
I had no choice but to apply for Medicaid for my Mother’s nursing home care. I didn’t have $13,000 to shell out per month.
They asked for every document under the sun. I can understand this. But it really made me mad when part of the application blatantly said “must provide a birth certificate and other documents for proof of residency unless pregnant or an illegal alien”.
I guess it would have been easier to say my mother was illegal!
I learned at a very young age if the Government gives away anything “free” it's going to be just like this cheese and peanut butter— bitter tasting, hard to swallow, and definitely not worth it.
You can do that if your Amish??? I would be able to save up more in the next 10 years than the SS payments I will EVER get back
Give it a shot man.
I’m already on the “receiving” side so I can’t jump on the bandwagon.
If you drive a car, lawn tractor, and use power tools, you’d probably want to be a Mennonite instead of Amish.

How does what you posted contradict the claim of the tax? Also, who believes anything a realtor says?
every american should refuse to pay one red cent.
This item came as an email. I cant verify the author. Its bad enough news, but there are two VERY expensive items left out which I have added at the end. Thanks!

It’s easy to dismiss individual Programs that benefit non-citizens until they’re put together and this picture emerges. Someone did a lotof research to put together all of this data. Often these programs are buried within other programs making them difficult to find.

Great cartoon. Oppressive taxation has been used since the beginning of time to effectively slave peoples. The American founding fathers knew that they would never be free as long as the King had the authority to implement oppressive taxes. The tax situation of 1775 pales in comparison with the tax situation of 2012. At that time it was the King arbitrarily imposing taxes. In 2012 it is King Obama and his Court Jester Roberts who are arbitrarily imposing taxes, after explicitly telling the American people it was not a tax. If ever a revolution was justified, it certainly is now.
That’s why you come to FR.
