Who knew that when Obama said you have a right to insurance, he meant "Buy it yourself or pay a fine!"?

I did! And the Solicitor General argued that very point before the Supreme Court in oral arguments.

Newt Gingrich has been pushing for that very same system since 1993:

Newt 1993: "I am for people, individuals – exactly like automobile insurance – individuals having health insurance and being required to have health insurance"

Newt 2005: "I’m actually in favor of a 300 million payer system"

http://www.pensitoreview.com/2011/11/29/gingrich-o...

Newt 2007 Des Moines Register op-ed: “Personal responsibility extends to the purchase of health insurance. Citizens should not be able to cheat their neighbors by not buying insurance,"

Newt 2008 'Real Change': “Finally, we should insist that everyone above a certain level buy coverage (or, if they are opposed to insurance, post a bond). Meanwhile, we should provide tax credits or subsidize private insurance for the poor.”

Newt 2011-05-15 Meet the Press: "I agree that all of us have a responsibility to pay--help pay for health care. I've said consistently we ought to have some requirement that you either have health insurance or you post a bond ..."

Romney, Gingrich, Huntsman and Health Care Hypocrisy

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2011/12/06/romney-g...

“Right now in this country, people that don’t have health insurance go to the hospital if they get a serious illness, and they get treated for free by government. My plan says no, they can’t do that. No more free riders. People have to take personal responsibility. I consider it a conservative plan.” ~Mitt Romney talking about a individual mandate

“I’m proud of what we’ve done. If Massachusetts succeeds in implementing it, then that will be a model for the nation.” [Newsweek, 12/2/2007]

“I think you’re going to find when it’s all said and done, after all these states that are the laboratories of democracy, get their chance to try their own plans, but those who follow the path that we pursued will find it’s the best path, and we’ll end up with a nation that’s taken a mandate approach.” [NBC, 12/16/2007]

“Massachusetts is a model for getting everybody insured in a way that doesn’t break the bank, doesn’t put the government in the driver’s seat and allows people to own their own insurance policies and not to have to worry about losing coverage.” [CNN, 2009]

“It’s important for us to have a stronger message as we go forward, and I think the party does have to stand up and be able to say, ‘Listen, Mr. Axelrod, you’re wrong when you say we don’t have ideas. We have a health care plan. You look at Wyden-Bennett. That’s a health care plan that a number of Republicans think is a very good health care plan — one that we support. Take a look at that one.” [NBC, 6/28/2009]

unless you are too poor, and then you qualify for other aid.

The only people this affects are those who would rather save the premium money now so they can gamble on the stock market and "hope" to make enough to cover themselves should a health care catastrophe befall them...and he, if they strike out in th markets someone else will pay it anyways cause you can't refuse help in an emergency...

it's funny.....you people are all screaming about this...but follow me for a second and see if I can talk slow enough for you.........you hate free loading people right ?? Hate public assistance and programs like that right ?? Because YOU are paying for other lazy people right ?? Still with me ???

As it is right now....people with out insurance go to the ER ....because they HAVE to be treated if they go to the ER.....then they don't pay.....eventually, those costs are passed on to people with insurance like you and me.....SO WE ARE PAYING FOR THE FREELOADERS.....

so now.....this bill is requiring those freeloaders to buy insurance......WHY THE HECK ARE YOU OPPOSED TO THIS !!!! ???? YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE....or not very smart....take your pick...

i don't think of that they are speaking about the hot international Order that we are all terrified of...i imagine that they are in simple terms speaking about a clean international order. even if, they insensitively worded it like that in simple terms to get human beings to assert, "Oh, those conspiracy theorists are in simple terms nutjobs!" I toddler you not...the same "conspiracy theorists" that are adversarial to Obama and his company agenda were adversarial to Bush for the same reason. No lie and no b.s. reported from me correct there.

I did. So did most conservatives. America needs to act like it has a brain and listen to those who have America's best interests at heart. America needs to realize that the agenda of liberals like Obama is to directly attack America's greatness, success and sovereignty. Americans need to realize that liberals like Obama do not have America's best interests at heart. Therefore they do not have our best interests at heart.

I knew :)

I'm not a fool like the mighty 99%

Its a damn good thing. We need to know everyone can have healthcare. No one should be denied, insurance companies can rip off the people. Bravo to Obama.

Everyone paying attention...

I did. It's about time gamers did their fair share.
