“You leftists are such hypocrits and fools for falling for this tripe time and time again.”The likes of you calling health insurance reform supporters fools is amusing indeed. If you’re only problem is the mandate that everyone must purchase insurance, you should be mad at Republicans. As several have said before, Republicans insisted on that mandate as part of a compromise.
It’s delusional to think that the cost of health care will be reduced by ACA. This system will grow the size of government exponentially and the tax base to pay for it will shrink. Government here and in Europe suffer the same malady and futilely try to apply quick fixes and rhetoric to maintain their political position and placate the people. Can’t kick the can down the road any farther, it’s gone. If you think the political climate was bad now, wait till after the election. I don’t think it matter who wins, the partisanship and obstructionism will be the worst this nation has ever seen. We are staring down the greatest challenges our country has ever faced. We need massive political change, personal sacrifice on the part of the people and a vision for the future that I don’t see anyone actively supporting. They couldn’t stand the political heat from Simpson – Bowles, which just slowed the growth of government, and nobody can envision actually cutting the size of government…
How did a tax on the 1% of Americans who can afford health insurance but don’t buy it because they’re deadbeats who don’t want to pay for what they can get for free suddenly become “the largest tax increase in history?” Conservatives truly live in a fantasy world where numbers simply don’t matter.
So maybe sick people will go see a doctor before their ailment become very serious enough to seek treatment in the ER, and much more expensive to treat. That will have a mitigating effect on the cost of health care.
You’re post is little more than stupid partisan blathering that contributes nothing to the conversation. Post links to support your claims or be quiet about it.

Hey Ben, corporations are now people. That WAS intended by the Founding Fathers, right?

A gift to the insurance companies, originally concocted by Mitt Romney in Massachusetts, as devised by the Heritage Foundation. Look it up.

Lester is right on this one. All the blah-blah-blah rhetoric from the Left is preposterous.
