Who said I wanted anyone to help it?

I'm happy as a pig in shit that my son gets to ride on the Military retirement gravy train after kicking down doors in places like Ramadi, Baqubah, and Mahmudiyah, while you sat at your desk at the San Diego Naval Base and did whatever.

The individual mandate is proof that Obamacare sucks.

If it didn't suck you wouldn't need a mandate.

Is there a mandate that you have to sign up for Medicare?

Hell no.

Do the Canadians or the Brits need a mandate, or any of the other countries that have single payer need a mandate?

The ones that don't have mandates are financed by taxes whether anyone signs up for them or not.

Not all of them are 100%.

Medicare will cost you $121.80 a month for part B.

But the percentage signing up as soon as they are eligible is better than 90%.

If we were to open up our current Medicare program to everyone I guarendamnteeya we wouldn't need no mandate.
