Apparently if you don't have health insurance you get FREE health care
at least according to Mittens and Hillary (Mittens put this mandate plan in place in MA and Hillary is pushing this Romney-care plan now).

Apparently the reason we don't have universal health care is that people aren't forced to buy private insurance. Who knew the solution was so SIMPLE!

I mean look at all those people getting FREE health care by just not having insurance. Hell I think I'm gonna dump my insurance and get in on this free health care racket.

Oh wait? What's that? People who don't have insurance get a bill instead? and if they don't pay the bill, they get sued? That doesn't sound right... and if they get successfully sued and can't pay, they go into bankruptcy and lose most of their assets? Then their credit is ruined? and then they can't get insured anyway? Oh.

That sounds like FREE health care to me. :eyes: Those damn freeloaders should be taught a lesson :eyes:

3. How simplistic you are.
Romney's plan has had to be revamped and changed. The real plan is how much can you afford? Throw it in the pot. Get the insurance companies out of the game. They push the cost up very high. I remember years ago reading about the SS plan. People had the same concerns about how it would work. SS is paid for by people who work and pay into the system on a sliding scale. What is wrong with that??? It is not going bankrupt now matter what you think or what they want to tell you. Just a mater of raising the cap and maybe down the line an increase in FICA. Wake up the insurance companies are all putting nonsense out there and you don't get it. They did it before and they will do it again. Now the American public needs to get smarter.
