Now our REPRESENTATIVES want to make it much better:
Senate bill fines people refusing health coverage
By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR – 19 hours ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans who refuse to buy affordable medical coverage could be hit with fines of more than $1,000 under a health care overhaul bill unveiled Thursday by key Senate Democrats looking to fulfill President Barack Obama's top domestic priority.
The Congressional Budget Office estimated the fines will raise around $36 billion over 10 years. Senate aides said the penalties would be modeled on the approach taken by Massachusetts, which now imposes a fine of about $1,000 a year on individuals who refuse to get coverage. Under the federal legislation, families would pay higher penalties than individuals.

So we have unchecked spending and borrowing, cap and trade likely to be passed and now this. Nice way to turn the economy around!

The issue here is what the income is, above which people are assessed this extra tax.

Well-off people generally have health insurance already. The people who don’t are too poor to afford it.

“Affordable medical coverage” is an oxymoron.

It shows how desperate those idiots have become, how deep our economy is hurting and how incompetent those working for the people [politicians] are.

Hmm, I wonder if they will force this on people who live/work over seas. Would this universal health care plan the government is trying to come out with cover people who don't reside in the US?

Dang politicians! Just leave us alone in our broken down trailer homes. Brewing up 100 proof corn whiskey and growing 100 marijuana plants in our backyards. Uhm, not that I do that!

Who do they think they are? To care about us like that... Ya know, if they really cared, they would of bailed US out. Not the rich folks.

Every morning I wake up with the surreal mind crime that I'm a nameless character in any one of a number of early/mid 20th century dystopian novels - Anthem, 1984, A Brave New World, etc.

It is simply, plainly and literally unbelievable.
