It is about time! I have had and paid for health care all my working life and paying jacked up rates for the people that don’t buy health care(yes the old way was free health care) Now all the free loader people that do not have insurance finally have to get it and so I won’t be paying for it…..it’s about fing time…

you're desperately misinterpreting the new bill. the major new thing is the expansion of the Medicaid program. I remember when I worked retail pharmacy back in the day, and these motherfuckers would bitch about a $2 co-pay on a drug that costs (without profit built in) $300. I didn't last that long at that gig.

That's the thing about this 2004-2700 page bill. No one concretely knows what the hell it means. Other than an insurance company can't deny you based on a pre-existing condition. That seems to be the 'big sell'. Guess what, potential subscribers will just be priced out of the market. They won't be denied coverage, they just won't be able to afford it. Or else a primary care physician, or specialist, will just say 'fuck it, I'm not taking any new Medicaid patients'. yep, way to go democrats.

GreyGoose I have no clue what is in that huge bill but I do know it will kick in that people will mandatory have to buy their own insurance and I feel that is a step in the right direction.
We Americans will never deny someone health care if they are dying in the streets so the only practical solution is to make it mandatory you buy your own health care. IMHO it is a step in the right direction, better than doing nothing.

no, we'll just charge them up the asshole, into bankruptcy in medical bills.

So sad but true I know someone this happened too. But now it is mandatory for you to have insurance so it should not happen again. In theory at least.

not true. since the hospital isn't going to bother with hiring attorneys to sue a homeless/indigent/low-earner, it usually gets written off as bad debt.
