Uninsured? You're $tealing MY Tax Dollar$!
Just trying to think of some bumperstickers that could turn the tax argument around on the terminally ignorant.

2. That's cool
if your intention is to offend everyone who cannot afford insurance.

4. People against a mandate want you to continue paying their expenses - you have plenty of money!
Edited on Sun Sep-13-09 06:29 PM by stray cat
and they would prefer to buy other things with their money.

11. Those opposed to Obama's plan to make the public captive customers of the insurance co's...
Edited on Mon Sep-14-09 09:58 PM by brentspeak
don't want to be handed over to and fleeced by corporations; they want real health-care reform.

Is that what you're trying to say?

14. Oh yeah, like when I was uninsured all last year
I was just rolling in money, what with that little more than $900 a month I was getting in unemployment. COBRA would have run me $500 a month and an individual policy would have a $350 a month premium and ridiculously high out-of-pocket costs before it even kicked in. Oh

10. You really think tax dollars go toward healthcare for the uninsured?
On what planet do you spend most of your time, and where can I catch the next spaceship to it?

15. Medicaid recipients are "stealing" your tax dollars too.
Your OP is yet another illustration of how the uninsured have been turned into Welfare Queens.
