As the federal government moves forward to implement President Obama's Affordable Care Act, the Department of Health and Human Services is slated to spend millions of dollars promoting the unpopular legislation. In the face of this publicity blitz, it is worth remembering that the law was originally sold largely on four grounds—all of which have become increasingly implausible.
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
Since Obozo became president, our insurance costs us more.
My husband partially pays for our insurance. They take it out of the pay. Shortly after this healthcare talking started, the plan we had was to go up. We would have had to pay an additional 50 dollars a week for our existing plan..with its 10 dollar copay and no referrals.
We had to take a lower plan..which we did..30-75 dollar copay on drugs. 30 dollar for dr visits and 75 for specialists, with a 100 dollar deductable each year.
They just raised the premium again last week...another 30 dollars a week will come out of my husbands pay for this crap insurance.
I suppose I should be happy to have it....but if the goal was to lower insurance costs...it failied. But, someone has to pay for kids to be insured with their parents until 26. I recall, before my youngest daughter could secure her own insurance, we paid for Cobra for her...out of our own pocket.
Instead of this bill, they could have actually found ways to lower costs for those who have insurance..and did something only for those who dont.
I have a lot of strangers on my FB acct, because I use it for games. There are still people who use the emergency room as a doctors visit..and they blast it right out there on FB. Unreal. (Ooooh my kid has an ear ache..off to the ER.) Unreal.

You are just mean, mean, mean, you should be greatfull obama and rubeo have given you the right to foot the hospital bills of all their illegals. LOL
LMAO..hey..I remember a time when insurance consisted of hospitalization, only. They only paid for the dr and hospital..and you paid 20% of that out of your own pocket.
We paid all of our dr visits, maternity (both dr and hospital, because they didnt cover it), drugs, well baby care etc. Back then we were very young and my husband wasnt on the top of the pay scale. But, we managed to pay it.
RIGHT'S RIGHT
