It time to put an end to the GOP talking point repeated here on DU again and again.

[frazzled]

129. How many of the 125 respondees in this thread currently don't carry insurance

and don't want to?

If you are currently insured through a plan of your employer's, this new law will change absolutely nothing for you. That's something like more than 85% of Americans. Nothing will change for them.
If you are currently insured through Medicare or Medicaid nothing will change for you. More people will be eligible for Medicaid, but that's about all.
If you are not employer insured and have been unable to buy insurance in the individual market either because of a pre-existing condition or because it would be too expensive for you, this law will allow you to obtain it no matter what condition you have, and will subsidize your insurance if it is too expensive for you to buy on your income.
If you are uninsured and do not wish to be insured, you'll have to pay a tax penalty to cover the cost of treating uninsured people and the cost of helping to insure everyone else. Just like you are taxed for schools you may not use (you don't have kids), or roads you don't use (you don't drive).

But honestly, how many people wailing and moaning already have insurance?
How many would like to have insurance?
How many would refuse to be insured under any circumstances?
