The Clintons ironically came to Saskatchewan when he was in his first term and studied the foundation of medicare. I have always believe that the system within the states should be catered towards it and it baffled the life of me as to how people literally were so upset and all the money spent politically in having something provided for all parts of the population. And finally this man has pulled it off. Nothing in life is perfect but this is the very first day that America provides for all within an American way.
Yes, the era of even BIGGER government has arrived just in time to destroy what's left of this once great country. I'm kinda glad this happened tho because it just sealed the deal on Obama as a one term puppet.
yes...the beginning of the end....even more welfare to pay for ....we are probably going to see our health payments double in the next year so others can get medical treatment for a sore throat
In the 1,990-page, $1.2 trillion legislation, in the bills most controversial provision, the government would sell insurance, although the Congressional Budget Office forecasts that premiums for it would be more expensive than for policies sold by private companies. The legislation would require most Americans to carry insurance and provide federal subsidies to those who otherwise could not afford it. Large companies would have to offer coverage to their employees. Both consumers and companies would be slapped with penalties if they defied the government's mandates. To pay for the expansion of coverage, the bill cuts Medicare's projected spending by more than $400 billion over a decade.
Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee Dave Camp (R-MI) released a letter from the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) confirming that the failure to comply with the individual mandate to buy health insurance contained in the Pelosi health care bill (H.R. 3962, as amended) could land people in jail. The JCT letter makes clear that Americans who do not maintain “acceptable health insurance coverage” and who choose not to pay the bill’s new individual mandate tax (generally 2.5% of income), are subject to numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years.
Time will tell....yet for a person that is said to be doing no change - change has come and nothing is perfect but I have never seen so much thought on a subject like this.
The Congress passed a Health Care Bill--and with a whopping five votes to spare!

ReplyDeleteYes, something will come out of this---the bar has been crossed. I'm glad to have lived to see this--and I am not being dramatic. I mean it.
