Why do you care, you have insurance...
« on: June 28, 2012, 10:14:33 PM »
Some girl on Facebook just asked me why I was so concerned about the health care tax if I have insurance...

That was her reply to me after I pointed out that Obama just gave us the biggest tax increase in the history of the world.  I guess I'm not allowed to care about the penalty/tax/mandate/whatever you want to call it if I currently have insurance.   :thatsright:

I remember when this was being debated a couple of young girls, immigrants to this Country, they said to me and a friend "Why should I care, rich people will pay for it not me" we tried to explain but it was a waste of time.

Seriously, this right here is why we are doomed as a country. There are enough idiots like that elected the tyrant in chief to office. I'm sure our founding fathers weep at what passes for citizenry in this country.  :thatsright:

You won't have insurance when your employer dumps you for a cheaper tax.
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."

I eat meat, but I would oppose a law saying we have to eat meat. Just because I wouldn't lose any freedom by being told to eat meat, doesn't mean I want vegetarians to be denied their freedom.
I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

We were discussing that last night.  I am on my husband's health care through his employer.  His employer has about 200 employees nationwide.  So I see our family being left to the government... :(

I care because actions have consequences and I have no idea at this point how my employer is going to react,how insurance companies will have to respond and how my retirement savings will be affected.

The only "good" that will come out of this is for a few who were just above the free ride level now will be included.
The rest of us will be beaten down closer to that level which was probably the intent from the start.

I think that's just for the "Cadillac" plans, at this point.  I don't know how they define "Cadillac, and of course, that definition can always be changed...

That sucks ass.

I think our insurance is a "Cadillac" plan... only from definitions that I've read.

If it is from a union, you're OK for at least a year.  If not, bend over.
