Obamacare for the Stupid

Stephen Bowers wonders just how stupid the Obama's think young people must be.

Why should young people sign up for Obamacare? Michelle Obama says ... just in case they get hurt dancing or cooking. Seriously.

So, which conspiracy does the Affordable Care Act fall under?

Will be made mandatory like SS is now. Single payer medicare for all is the only way it works. If SS had been setup like the ACA just how many would opt out till in their fifties?

Then complain about not having any retirement. Need to look no farther then 401K's and the young and old.

Young people do need to be reminded occasionally that they aren't immortal. This is indeed a challenge when it comes to the mandate for health insurance under Obamacare. As Barney states, single-payer would fix this, but you can rest assured than the GOP would freak out loudly at the idea of single-payer.

I would love to see young people look after their own health care instead of sponging off ours. We pay the inflated premiums that we do because the hospitals have to take them in money or no money.

Samm these guys will never look at the ridiculous things ACA is bring along with it.

They don't look at the power and control that they want to hand there government.

Freedom of choice in how we want to live our lives will be squashed. All dictated by our government as to what we can or can't do.

The hospitals do not have freedom of choice they are required by law to treat people regardless of ability to pay, so those who can pay must pay even more.

Oh yes we still see our same family doctor so skip the bull shit.

Nothing to do with any of that and all to do with what government deems safe and healthy. If you sky dive or eat bacon you are going to be charged more, deemed unhealthy. Please tell me otherwise.

Like Finn says show me the wording, oh and BTW even now they charge you more if you smoke - we quit cold turkey 10 years or more ago.
