Political Ramifications of SCOTUS ruling

[Ridge]

Comrades! Has no one realized the increased burden this will already place on our healthcare system? Sure insurance companies could potentially make more money off this, ya know, because between now and 2014 everyone is gonna run out and get health insurance so they don't get taxed, increasing the customer base- but also putting more people into the system and if you got it, better use it. I anticipate longer lines at doctors offices and hospitals.

I'd like to see what it's going to cost an average healthy person a year for insurance, and then see if it stacks up to that $95 tax. I'm still not happy, it seems like we're getting that treatment we all dreaded. "The beatings will continue until morale improves!"

F that. The tax will be cheaper than any healthcare plan.

That's the problem, most companies will drop coverage because it will be cheaper to pay the "tax" then it will be to provide insurance for their employees (since many employers pay a portion of those benefits). This will further burden the insurance companies making it impossible for them to stay in business. It also insures big brother has their foot in the door to take everything over when the shit hits the fan.

Or they lower their rates back down towards what they were back in 2009, before the law passed.

Folks this isn't about health care this is about basic liberty. I guess the solace I can take from this is that those that don't see how damaging this is to liberty will be comfortable in their chains.

Yeppers
hope those subjects enjoy their chains in comfort.

[Ridge]

How do you guys survive when you believe every little thing means the death of liberty and our country as we know it? I'd figure you'd have stroked out years ago...

Certainly this is one of the more serious things that they've done, but you guys make a huge deal out of every little thing.

THEY ARE TAXING SODA POP! THIS HOW DEMOCRACY ENDS! WE ARE ALL SLAVES TO THE POLITICAL MACHIEN NOW

this is just one more thing that is going to cause inflation to go nuts. Unless you have a lot of excess money etc in your life...get ready to look at what the bare minimum you need to survive is.

And amazingly, the Gubment can now feed the hungry as food trucks are seen leaving the rear of the hospital and later distributing weeks of food to the poor.

Soylent Green is good stuff.

Look on the bright side, the ruling would allow you as President to pass a law making everyone buy a gun.

For national security and the public good.

Wouldn't be the first time... kinda...
