Health care reform force you to get heath care... is that true?
I heard that if you don't get heath care you can get penalized? Penalized??? HUH? I'm an average worker so what are they going to do tax my paycheck more? Isn't that forcing you to get health care?

Yes, that is part of the proposal. The problem with this system is that healthy, younger people could pay the yearly fine. The fine would be magically less than the cost of real medical insurance. Then if they did in fact get sick, they would have a built in safety net to cover their medical expenses. This would be a burden to everyone else, causing the cost of medical service to sky rocket even further than they already are. Don't be fooled, they current fake medical crisis is nothing but a artificial method to inject socialism into american life.

I don't get why Republicans are trying to make this a big deal. No one pitches a fit about getting car insurance. That's required, and if you don't have it, you get a fine. It's not fair to hit someone else's car and then not pay for it. If you don't cut your grass, the city can fine you b/c it harms your neighbor's property value. If you go to the ER, and you don't have insurance, and you likely can't pay the bill, it's not right to dump your bill on the rest of your community. Just get the insurance. If Republicans would stop fighting affordable healthcare, this wouldn't be an issue.

No. Under the current bill proposed in the senate, if you make too much money to qualify for Medicaid, you will be required to purchase health care insurance. It will be totally up to you if you want to use that insurance to go get health care.

Yes,,,,but don't fret since there will be a large market for cash "under the table" workers.
It will take away from the tax revenue to the FED but they make the rules we just play by them.

Yes.
And those hit the hardest by it will be those that cannot afford it (like college students or those barely meeting the cost of living).
Change we can believe in? Change is all we'll be left with ;) Thank god I'm a rich bastard.
