And I quote: Free Loaders

“Don’t believe the hype that the other side is selling,” Patrick said on a conference call organized by President Obama’s campaign.

“I just want to respond to the frankly bizarre attack, which is the claim this act represents a big tax increase on the middle class,” Patrick said. “First, this is a penalty. It’s about dealing with the freeloaders -- the folks who now get their care without insurance in high-cost emergency room setting. And all the rest of us pay for it today."

That's Democrat Deval Patrick.

Let's take that statement:

It’s about dealing with the freeloaders -- the folks who now get their care without insurance in high-cost emergency room setting. And all the rest of us pay for it today.

And strip out the particulars:

It’s about dealing with the freeloaders -- the folks who now get their ___________________________. And all the rest of us pay for it today.


And insert one of the following:

Education
Housing
Food
Clothing
Cell phones
Transportation
Cigarettes
Illegal Drugs
Junk Food

Those same freeloaders they are talking about will still be freeloaders under ObamaCare.  They will either be added to medicaid or their insurance premiums will be subsidized by the taxpayer. Either way, we will still be supporting them.

Yep.  There is nothing imposed on them by Obamacare that is any worse than the vastly-inflated ER bills they laugh off now.  Why the bills are vastly-inflated is another problem entirely, and one Obamacare doesn't touch, or if anything makes worse..actually several other problems ranging from the miracle of US business tax accounting which can turn an inflated bad debt into something a whole lot like income, to the need for tort reform.
