The GOP does not want your child in college. they feel trade school is where she should be.

I am not making this up.

What are you, some sort of snob, sending you daughter off to some snooty college?

With a 22 year old and a 24 year old, I appreciate that provision - even if they aren't quite sure how fortunate they are. There aren't to many health plans designed for fledgling professional musicians.

Regards,

It appears we're in the same boat.

If you really believed that, then you would want everyone who can pay to do so. But, no. You'd rather have some opt out of paying while they continue to use the system on our dime. Ostensibly to protect their "constitutional rights". What "constitutional rights" I don't know. The right to be a damn freeloader, I guess.

You have it wrong, the amount of help the government will provide them toward the cost of insurance will be determined by their income.

Frankly I am more than a little tired of paying extra for our health insurance because of all the damn freeloaders out there.

Which is exactly what all those smartass young freeloaders who won't buy insurance are doing today. The figures are that our insurance is $1000 more per year to cover their sorry arses and I am tired of looking after them.

Sixty-five percent of all personal bankruptcies in this country are caused by medical expenses and you want to keep this f**ked up system?

There's really no way to say this nicely (or, if there is, I just don't care enough to find it). You people don't know your asses from your elbows, you don't know what a communist is and you don't have the faintest notion of whats in that fucking bill.

John
Tell me about it, saw a guy on TV who was allegedly a writer and editor. The lady asked him to define soci@list. He said that was where the government decide who could attend medical school, what care people could receive and they ran all the hospitals. He knew this because he had seen Britain and Canada's systems. What a fucking moron, singlepayer means the government is the insurance company - period. Everything else is just as it is here - only better.

How about the mandate or tax if you will?

There is no provisions in PPACA that directs insurance carriers how to underwrite risks or cap premiums for individuals.

Sorry sonny, PPACA says charging women more than men is a nono

Try again!
I did and you're screwed
