there are those in the united states who are excited about the possibility of universal healthcare. but have any of these people examined the fine print, a 1900 page document? the government doesn’t bring healthcare to the masses, it brings the masses to healthcare. healthcare is half way to being mandatory in the united states.
the bill that’s just passed the house of representatives, headed by nancy (i’m a rich radical from northern california) will require REQUIRE all americans (and residents) to have health insurance. that means, you have to pay for it. the same way you’re required to have auto insurance if you have a car. the difference is, if you can’t afford car insurance, then you just don’t get a car. but you can’t just decide to not get health insurance. because come april 2013 (conveniently just 5 months after the presidential elections), you will be slapped with a fine of 2.5% of income. that will be attached to your IRS bill. what say you now?
these fines raise around $33 billion (yes, billion) windfall for the government –paid by you, the tax payer.
