Wrong again.
I an the one making a real difference . You are just perpetuating a dying system in order to feel safe for a few more years.
But they will get you anyways. Especially if they are allowed to pick us off one by one. When people like you become so afraid of losing their (insert whatever you fear)
So if the government say do "x" or lose your "x" you do it because u fear...what? The irs? Jail?
Let me tell you something sir . This country is out of control.
This woRld is out of control.
You have reason to fear. They have made you fear .
But let me tell you some about fear taught to me by Frank hibbert
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. [
That is the truth and i won't fear for doing the right thing any longer.
Want to makedifference ? Find ten likeminded people . Take your thousand dollar insurance payments. Put them together and more a doctor for that 10k a month to be your personal doctor for those ten families.
But you can be the good government sheep if you wish. And let the future generations pay for your fear
I won't

Are you sure you, too, won't get thrown under the bus like so many others?
All the retirees, former full time workers....and all the others who were told "you can keep the coverage you have"

Arent we all?
Virtually all of government "services" are based on feeling sorry for the poor decisions of others.
Bad decisions aside there is a huge hole where people are above the poverty line cut off to receive subsidies but not earning enough to pay that 10K + annual bill and still make rent and put food on the table.
So I have to choose between keeping a roof over my kids head or health insurance and I dont qualify for any subsidies and when the fines start rolling in you say to me "piss off!" ?
Where's your heart? That's what this ACA is supposedly all about, right?

Again...with that situation you described...that family is mis-managing their m inoney and not making smart decisions.
I have empathy for people who are down on their luck or are trying as hard as they can, making smart decisions, and still not being able to afford things (those people will get subsidies). If you are above the HUGE cut off limit for subsidies and you can't afford insurance, you are making stupid choices with your money and I have no empathy for you.

I could find cause in dropping a "child" to be more cause than not paying for tuition. Tuition, or rather, "Higher Education" hasn't been deemed a necessity yet and we are not forced to pay a tax and/or fine to supply it. Healthcare Insurance has been. By neglecting that "child" and forcing them to purchase or face a fine, when they are eligible to be on their parent's insurance is not that hard to prove cause there. People have sued for far less and won.

Well, all I can say to that is if you have a child who is hateful and horrible enough to sue you for money, the ACA is the least of your problems.

Hey folks, first post; but i have a burning question that i, as a european can't seem te get rid of (forgive any spelling errors, English isn't my native language)
I'm from the Netherlands where we have a health-care system; everyone needs to be ensured.
Our monthly costs are around 110 euro's average, that's about 150 usd a month.
Now, what i don't get is, why are americans so dead set against a health insurance for everyone?
please don't flame me for asking, i just don't understand it and i'm looking at this from the outside (as a foreigner) and i'm looking as a person who has had "forced" health insurance for his entire life (and used the benefits of it too).
