[Obama Care passes]
Government: You need to buy health insurance.
Inoshi: How? I can't afford it...
Government: If you do not buy health insurance you will be fined.
Inoshi: THE F***?! You want me to get insurance with WHAT money? I'm already having a hard time finding a job...the economy is !@#$ right now! You do realize that because of this bill, small medical offices will shut down now...making the economy worse - you morons!
Government: Taxes need to increase in order for us to provide health insurance for the poor
Inoshi: I am POOR!
Government: You don't qualify for free healthcare because you will be over 25 soon...[list other reasons for not qualifying for insurance]
Inoshi: Gawd dammit - WHERE'S CAPTAIN AMERICA...he needs to toss his shield at your face! Where's my constitutional rights? You can't force me to buy sh*t if I don't want to!
Government: You have no rights...
[headesk] I hope that this bill gets repealed by the House when it gets brought up next week...
Honestly, I get what the "good" intentions are trying to do - and making health insurance affordable for everyone sounds great, but the increase in taxes isn't. When you are a family living paycheck to paycheck and now you MUST buy insurance - you're screwed. If you are unemployed or trying to FIND a job in this tough economy...and you now have to worry about getting health insurance on top of everything else - you're screwed. People think that because they believe MOST Americans have health insurance it's nothing major...well congratulations to you jacka$$e$ who don't sweat about making health insurance payments. Honestly, prepare for those premiums to raise their prices...because you are in denial if you don't think those companies won't find some way to justify the hike.
EDIT:
Apparently...according to the news, because this bill is a "tax" it cannot be overthrown until it's paid...so the only way to get rid of it is on election day in November. D8 Wow...
