OT: Health care update

much

likely

Particularly after they confiscate precious metal, for which there is precedence (not that it's needed with this bunch). Maybe land? A big loan is looking a lot better.

"Whining" about it is the way to change it. Vote the bums out that don't agree. Vote *them* out if they don't follow with action. The next congress can defund all of Obama's pets.

They don't need defunded, they need to be neutered so they don't reproduce.

Update:

It should go down as a historic moment...

But hardly anyone noticed.

The same day the health care bill passed, U.S. government debt lost its "risk-free" status.

That day, for the first time in over a generation, the U.S. government was a worse credit risk than a U.S. company.

Specifically, investors were willing to accept a lower interest rate to lend money to billionaire Warren Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway, for two years than to lend to the U.S. Treasury for the same period of time.

It is designed to fail, by making health care even more unaffordable, so the Dems can "fix" it with more of the same.

$1B is a third of AT&T's entire profit. How many jobs will that create or save?

Sen. Max Baucus, the plan's author, says it's an income-redistribution bill:

Ah, so it wasn't really about health care. That's encouraging.

Note: that's $1B, *quarterly*. So, figure $4B a year, or--to a first absurd order--$40B over the first 10 years for AT&T alone.

At $100k/yr, that's 40,000 jobs.

And so the savings begin...

They certainly have half of it right. "Income redistribution" in that it takes money from anyone who earns their way and throws it in a sink hole.

What more proof do you need that Congress is twisted.

I heard some one the other day talking about the Health Care system and the great plan that is set in place..

There is a penalty for not buying Insurance. The cost of insurance is much higher than the penalty.. Hence, those that don't want it or can't buy it, will simply pay the penalty!..

So, what you have here is a twisted way of collecting money and not paying out anything!.

I don't know how true it is, but it seems like a devious plan to me?

Spreading wealth always destroys it.

(Wealth is, by definition, a concentration of value. One man with $300M is very wealthy. 300M people with $1 each? Not so much.)

It also destroys the critical mass needed to create wealth. You know, like taking someone's seed corn--the farmer's--for someone else's bread.

Maybe some enterprising person could mass advertise in Mexico - saying "Obamacare: free and unlimited medical coverage in the US - citizenship not required. Go and start NOW!". Overload the sh*t out of the system.
