You're boned big-time DUmmies, and the greatest thing about it is that you enthusiastically agreed to, nay demanded, it!

Remember Obama in 2008?  How he was this blank canvas and people could paint him however they wanted him?  This POS legislation is just like that.  They wish so hard for it to mean a certain thing, (cost and hassle-free), and by wishing it, they make it so.

30. You are fortunate in that you have access to and can afford a HSA in addition to Health Insurance.

Millions can not, especially the unemployed over 50.
Mandated "Bronze" Insurance won't really help them either,
though many don't realize that in addition to the cost of their premiums and deductibles,
they will also be responsible for 40% of the actual Medical Costs.

My Wife & I (over 55, self-unemployed, no insurance, but own property and have some assets) are positioned to benefit from the Medicaid Expansion since the means testing portion is supposed to be dropped,
but the Medicaid Expansion is under attack.
The Supreme Court has Struck Down the original Mandatory State Participation, and changed it to Optional State Participation.
I have a creepy feeling Means Testing for eligibility will also be resurrected before 2014,
and returned to If you own anything you don't qualify.

I don't think that 2014 will go over well,
especially when those millions (40 - 70 Million projected uninsured by 2014) try to convert their "ObamaCare" "Bronze" Insurance into actual Health Care.

There are going to be a bunch of angry Americans, and ALL the Republicans have to do is say,
"Yep! We voted against it."

If I am hospitalized for a heart attack,
it won't really matter if I have to pay 40% or 100%, the outcome is the same.
They will STILL take everything I own and have worked for my whole life.

No.  The death panels will let you die once your coverage and cash runs out. You aren't worth keeping alive.
