Even if the $950 max fine for individuals didn’t pay any premiums, a lot of us would be much better off just paying it, rather than buying crap private insurance with insanely high co-pays & deductibles.
Plus, with so many low-income folks subsidized, it might be easier for us “fine-payers” to get indigent care!

O’ Donnell has been spouting that shit for weeks now. He seems to have forgotten that the House has to pass bills too. O’ Donnell used to be chief of staff on Senate Finance, & that colors his thinking.
What i fear will happen is that the public option will be paired with a “trigger” that will never be pulled, just like with Medicare Pt. D.

I agree with SparklesTheIguana, #19: it’s time to move to a civilized country. It’s also time to convert our dollars into gold, or Euros, or cases of ramen noodles: “The United Nations has stepped into the debate on the future of the US Dollar - to urge that it be dropped as the world’s reserve currency.”

Facts and truth can be disrupting for many on this site, a few agree, maybe there someone listening. Paid? Nope, I am attempting to protect my children and country from a group of totally insane voters that don’t have a clue about an irreversible tragedy that lingers. Call me a fool, troll fine, you are an enemy within. I know I am right, your rants are indefensible.

The HELP Bill is what the Senate bill needs to look like. Then it gets cloture, goes through reconciliation if necessary (and probably will be), and gets reconciled with the house bill before each side does an up-or-down vote on the final bill.

I can’t believe Rahm and Obama think that an “Any Bill” such as this one would be a great “win” for the Dems.

Cripes, as soon as anyone with a brain figures out what’s going on, the mantra’s gonna be “Democrats screwed us. You can’t trust ‘em.”

So, are you paid by the word or number of comments to come here and disrupt our threads? Either way, get lost troll.

Your right it’s beyond scary, something our founders were terrified of, a giant central power. There is a cesspool of thousands of attorneys in one city called Washington, all with their hands out for your money. They know control is power and wealth, time to stop sending them our money.

No public option now, no mandate now.

Companies that fight for a profit will see a market need and fill it. The consumer decides where his money goes not some CEO, competition makes it tough to divide out like a cake. Throw in some attorneys and politicians and they cut it to best suite them.
