If you’re one of the 47 million Americans without health insurance, finding a place for insurance in your budget may seem like an insurmountable task.
...and that's the real fly in the ointment, isn't it? Why? Because we don't know how many of these people could have insurance, but just don't want it (too cheap, think they are invincible, whatever). Soon (if this bill is passed) they won't have a choice, except between insurance or a fine. Forced charity, or compassion, or whatever term you wish to choose. Of course nothing that would actually lower the medical costs and that's what congress doesn't want you to see. Where is the insurance portability? Across state line access? Tort reform? No the Democrat plan relies on continued suffering of the masses (without it a big portion of their constituents go away), wealth building for select partners (lawyers, and other faithful supporters), and the illusion on helping the unfortunate (those unwilling to see past the scam, blinded by the next entitlement), giving them just enough crumbs to keep them in power. Does anyone actually believe they have your best interest at heart?
