#5 Posted: 8/4/2012 7:18:11 AM One would think that the concept of health coverage for children and preventing insurance companies from dropping cancer patients would be a good thing.
The problem is the democrats couldn't sell water in the desert. |

#7 Posted: 8/4/2012 3:34:32 PM There are numerous reasons that people do not like Obamacare. It is not that we are ill-informed. I would like to meet one of you yes-men that has read the friggin thing. You choose not to listen to the objections and complaints and keep spouting this line that. "Once we see what is in it, we will love it" Bullshit.
From how it was passed, to the windfall for insurance agencies, to the fact that it does nothing to offer free market solutions to a serious problem, and in fact just puts a heavier burden by de-funding medicare, and creating a whole new slew of liabilities. It is a fuckjob from the word go.
Not only that but now the Government, has precedence to dictate our health care/ lifestyle. More taxes for behaviors that the controllers deem unhealthy. More regulation of procedures, that will lead to old people not getting hip replacements etc.

#8 Posted: 8/4/2012 3:52:55 PM rick, i pretty much agree with that. i have no doubt that it's a fuckjob for many people and special interests are getting their share. however, it's hard to get reliable information about it and it would be nice to know some specifics. most people (not you) are satisifed with foxnews telling them it will cost them their freedom and cnn telling them this is the best thing since anesthesia.
that being said, there have to be some people who actually benefit from this. i'd like to know who they are.

#9 Posted: 8/4/2012 3:55:06 PM rick,
What is so wrong with actually requiring insurance to cover the person who buys the policy?
MANY of the policies "offered" to people under the guise of insurance is garbage..full of loopholes, high deductibles and co-pays, low limits and exceptions all over the place.
The issue isnt "Obamacare" to me, it is evaluating what insurance is..and all "Obamacare" does for the most part is raise the bar of coverage and stop companies from kicking people out.
What good is a policy that does not cover or has such high co-pays that the person is better off not even having the coverage?
There was a few yrs time where I had to go the side route and purchase insurance outside of an employer..and the coverage is crap unless you actually pay for it.

not know for their salesmanship indeed... but in some ways they are not needing to sell it to the people... some people are able to grasp the idea... others believe it is an attack on religion and everything they hold dearly...

#11 Posted: 8/5/2012 2:06:24 PM Wall, there are definitely some good aspects. I can't argue with the fact that increasing coverage is good. What I am saying is, what about the other 5,999 pages of crap that is attached to it?
Are we just going to pretend that things like the gold tax were not hidden in there? Stuff like that should land someone in jail. |

That happens all the time, as we all know..the gambling money bill tacked onto something else.
I doubt PACs would ever allow their slaves to stop with the tack on funzies we allow with legislation being passed..but for sure it is a bad thing in general.
I am also not sure I am against a gold tax per say..its an asset and trades on the open market, I would suggest it be treated like any other similar investment for taxation purposes.

Its funny to watch them play victim after they are being persecuted when they are the persecutors now a days... but of course their view of persecution is in the bible
