Mandated health insurance???

If poor people can't afford health insurance now how is making it against the law not to have health insurance going to help anything?!? The low income people will just continue to get hit the hardest and I understand that kids need to have health insurance and my kids do but I have a hard enough time making ends meet as things are.

to the person who told me to read the whole story-I did and it said that tax cuts and federal aid would be given to those who needed help but we all know how that works-unless you don't work at all or unless you work under the table you make too much for help but not enough to make ends meet-obviously you don't have problems with money

There is another way and it is called Universal Healthcare and one or two of your Democrat Presidential candidates have alluded to it. Canada has this and regardless of some of the horror stories by some American Health Corporation propagandists the system works wondrously well.

Any Canadian who attacks this system, believe me, has a vested monetary interest in doing so. The costs are covered from the public purse with some provinces charging a nominal monthly cost ( $20.00-$30.00 or so) which gives full hospital and medical coverage with no deductible.

One may be interested to know that the U.S., supposedly the richest nation on earth, is also the only modern industrialized country that doesn't have Universal Healthcare or some form of it. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

I have a pre-existing condition, I can't get insurance. I will pay, but they won't let me. It's the system.

I haven't heard of this, but it sounds scary! And you are right, If the poor can't afford insurance...they sure as hell can't afford fines for it???? This sounds like another way for the government to keep the poor...POOR! Because if we ever have a little money under our belts and don't have the stresses of worrying how to pay our bills, we might just watch our government more closely and get rid of the morons running this place and put a blue collar person in office.

The problem is the government has set up a system where everyone is supposed to depend on their employer for a health payment plan.

Because everyone has medical payment plans and not insurance no one checks price before getting care because they only need to pay the deductible. This drives prices up because their is no competition.

You might try READING about what is proposed. It takes all that into account.
