In Case You Missed This... Confirmation On What Many Of Us Believed Re: The Publc Option Fight

125. So the low fines "are working" by forcing people who couldn't afford ins. to buy ins?

And I dunno about you but I'm (*currently) unemployed (I run a small arts organization). I can't afford
the insurance needed to get an operation, nor can I afford the fines. A great many of us who are working poor
will simply file for loopholes under the new law and flip the bird at it entirely, rather than pay the extortionist
rates the insurance cos. are demanding. As for the operation, I will probably have to go on temporary Medicaid.
What has the new law gotten me so far? On a dozen Insurance industry spam lists, thanks to the shark feeding
on the Internet designed to exploit anyone who signs up with any insurance website asking for a quote online.
They sell your info to all the other insurance providers. And why not? You're a captive market. Unlike all
those people who have health insurance with their job. I imagine you don't?

I can certainly claim religious objection to the law since my faith is basically Mennonite
and hence in opposition to the gov't forcing me to participate in the corporate economy.
Feel free to laugh at that if you want.

Single payer is radically different from universal mandated private purchase, I don't
think I have to explain why. Unless you believe there's no difference between a
universal gas tax and requiring everyone to buy gas.
