One day in the coming years when Obama is out of office people will look back and see the good he's done for America. How many times have we seen his kind of scenario repeated in history?
People are so contradictory, but that's the nature of politics. The job of being an opposition party like the Republicans is to oppose the ruling party, despite what's on their agenda and how much good it would really do for the country if it were to be passed.
But good job Obama, hopefully the American people will see what he's done for them soon.

About time america! | Yeah right. If you're going down to the states for medical reasons ( surgery, scans ) you are probably paying for it because you don't want to wait for it here.
It's not like they will do it right away, free of charge, now that this reform has been approved.

Last time I checked Jesus was all about "love your neighbor" and "do unto others" and..oh, wait...what's that christian list of don'ts...ah! The seven vices. Things like greed! Capitalism is simply a revised streamlined version of the vice of Greed.

If you plan to live there be ready to be required by law to buy insurance, even if you don't want it, subject to a $2,200 fine. They are hiring about 17,000 new IRS people to go after people who don't pay and will monitor you monthly to check that you have the insurance. As an employer you also must pay for employees insurance. If you are an illegal alien, don't worry. You don't have to pay for your free coverage..those paying the $2,200 fines are covering you. A lot more to this than is covered in the mass media, where it is massaged by spinmaters. BTW...the hospital "gouging" is to pay for the illegals or people who did not have coverage...they get people with money and/or coverage to pick up the tab for those without it.

theres a youtube video that was made during the protests at "the tea party"
where a guy with MS or something debilitating like that sat outside on the ground with a sign that says he needs health care
and the protesters were cursing and spitting on him and throwing dollars in his face etc etc
i bet those guys are seething atm Quote:

We as Canadians think this is great for America, but I feel sorry for those Americans who worked hard to achieve their American Dream but now have to help pay health care to those scums of society you see on TV, Obese, live in a mobile home, cashes in welfare cheques, make stupid lawsuits for a quick buck etc. Even worse for small mom & pop businesses, how can they afford health insurance for every employee?
I'm all for Obama, but health care reform now? maybe second term when the economy is more stable and unemployment is less than 9.8%

Universal health care is like having kids. Everyone says they want to "wait for the right time". There is no "right time", there is only the time that you have.

It increases as the years go by that you do not have coverage.
This makes sense for a number of reasons. If you cannot afford healthcare, you will receive a subsidy.
If you are a moron who can afford healthcare but do not want to pay it, the fine attributed will still be less than the amount in which you would pay for health insurance coverage yearly.
Give me a break, we all have to pay MSP in Canada whether you use it or not.
If you end up in a car accident and go to the hospital, THE HOSPITAL WILL TREAT YOU. Unless everyone in the States who wishes to not purchase coverage will also agree to NEVER attend a hospital no matter the emergency, than a fine is a fair compromise.
It is a system that is required in order to work. If we had the option to not pay into MSP, out Universal Health Care system would not work, it is all dependent on the pool.
