Have any of you actually read the law that is Obamacare? Didn't think so. Which is pretty much on par with the 60 Senators that signed it into law.
Yet everyone here is so willing to jump down the throats of Republicans for today's events, ignoring the fact that the Democrats wouldnt compromise either.
Why don't we all start actually EDUCATING ourselves instead of listening what the media will tell us?!?
ME for instance: I work as an independent contractor. My work doesn't supply me with health insurance. My premiums starting in january will be $189-$322 per month. Or I could take the penalty for not having it at all, but doesnt taking the penalty deplete the purpose of pretending to call it universal health care? HOW MANY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL BE JUST LIKE ME? Can you re-allocate $300 a month for yourselves?!?
So either I pay for it, or the government pays for it. But if the government pays for it, that is even more debt to our accumulated pile of money owed.
Companies, to be able to afford this new law, are laying people off and shrinking work schedules to part time to be able to PAY for this healthcare. Oh and the 2 TRILLION dollars its costing us and you are mad that Republicans "shut down the government" for not raising our debt ceiling again?
Wake up people and READ!!!! Obama and this healthcare plan is not that great. Many of us, 30 million to be exact, so one in 12 (roughly), will NOT have viable access to healthcare under this law!!!!!!! THAT IS NOT UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE.
HAVE YOU GONE AND CALCULATED WHAT IT WILL COST YOU PER MONTH BEFORE WITCH HUNTING THE REPUBLICANS? didnt think so, either...
The only way we can ever fix this problem is to stop voting for incumbents. In fact, it would be great if we could start over with a brand new government where term limits would be in place in my book.
