If a person elects not to have health insurance they will pay a fine. This year it's pretty small, but 3 years from now it will increase to 2% of gross income. Originally Posted by Misawahawk

Pretty much an illusion of choice. If you go through the exchange and purchase Health Ins. you'll pay for coverage. If you opt not to purchase Health Ins. you'll pay a fine. Either way you're parting with your money. To some it will still be a choice based on a provision, instead of their cognitive will.

When uninsured people get sick, what do they do? They go to the emergency room of their local hospital to get treated. Who pays for their treatment? If Lexus Lover is correct, the hospital sends Uncle Sam an accounting record of the bills for the uninsured that they have treated. You know where Uncle Sam get's it's money from, the taxpayer. The only people I know, that don't believe in doctors are the Amish. When everyone else gets sick they go to the doctor. Bottom line everyone should have health insurance, or agree to never go to the doctor when they get sick. You can't have it both ways. Before Obamacare, in the individual health insurance market, if you had some pre-existing condition(like high blood sugar, high blood fat, allergies, curvature of lower spine) the health insurance company(BCBS,Atena,Humana,etc) would not sell you a policy. This is why we have 40+ million without health insurance.
Obamacare bad website and all, tries to solve a problem.

I agree, if you can't pay the doctor don't get sick, but that's easier said than done isn't it. Iam certainly not against people having Health Insurance, I've never been without it. Iam not even against Obamacare at least not for it's basic premise to get the uninsured people insured. But I do have some dislikes to other provisions of the Law.

the people that already have insurance are parting with their money anyway ... they can compare what they have to what they can get and go from there .. ie an option

so your argument about people (forcibly} parting with their $$ is a moot point

There are many people who pay for their own care and meds. They cannot afford the insurance and it is cheaper to pay for their own any way ... hedging the possibility of serious illness or major medical care. Others have just "major medical" coverage for catastrophic events in their lives with a high deductible ($5,000) , and pay for the small stuff out of pocket, including drugs. These "self-insured" people don't get "billed" to anyone


If Lexus Lover is correct, the hospital sends Uncle Sam an accounting record of the bills for the uninsured that they have treated.

I was not suggesting that an "accounting" is automatically sent to "Uncle Sam" ... I was making the statement that the unpaid bills are data stored with the provider, which is relatively easy to "download" and send to any data base for an accumulated total. The data can be sorted with insurance and without insurance. So the information is available.

My other comment IS that if ObaminableCare is to address that issue, then it is a FRAUD on the taxpayers for Government to LIE to the taxpayers and claim the problem is big enough for ObaminableCare when the Government HAS NO IDEA of the amount of $$ it costs the taxpayers to cover those losses to the providers.


You know where Uncle Sam get's it's money from, the taxpayer.

Too bad "Uncle Sam" doesn't act like it.


The only people I know, that don't believe in doctors are the Amish.

There are others.

When everyone else gets sick they go to the doctor.

Wrong. See above.

Before Obamacare, in the individual health insurance market, if you had some pre-existing condition(like high blood sugar, high blood fat, allergies, curvature of lower spine) the health insurance company(BCBS,Atena,Humana,etc) would not sell you a policy. This is why we have 40+ million without health insurance.

Wrong, again. Group policies through employment (and otherwise) covered "pre-existing conditions. That is NOT WHY "40+ MILLION ARE WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE. If there are actually 40+ million US TAXPAYERS without insurance.

I am for ObamaCare, as a business owner it makes good sense that everybody in the Country is going to be on some type of Health Insurance Plan.

What I do not like is The President handing out waivers and opt outs to political cronies.

If it's the law, then everybody should be equal under the law, period.

Since you weren't around in Austin during segregation then you have no clue about which you speak. All bullshit, and anyone who knows the facts and disagrees with your bullshit ...

So next time you decide to "break bread" with the "real people" at Nau's ENFIELD Drug store fountain ... ask the guy/girl behind the counter why the "ENFIELD" AND REPORT BACK ....

why isn't it ... "Nau's CLARKSVILLE Drug"?????
