was watching msnbc this morning while doing my daily penance on the elliptical and treadmill...they said the obamacare bill is 2700 pages long, not a 1000. that's the eqivalent of reading war and peace, the pickwick papers, and les miserables...but would feel like you were trying to read james joyces ulysses if it was 2700 pages long. good god. no way those senators and congressmen read it.
they also said something interesting-that hillary clinton had the individual mandate in her plan, and obama was against it then. my how things change.

at any rate, people don't know what all is contained-but they know they don't like being forced to purchase something. the WH is arguing that everyone engages in the health care system, hence the commerce clause would apply...however, everyone doesn't engage in the system.
knowing people up to 400% of federal poverty levels would get subsidized, both for premium and for stop loss is enough to make you go huh? that rule would include most arkansas citizens. all but the very highest income in the top 1-2% of households. you guys want to subsidize 99% of this state?

the healthiest group of people-they're the ones obama is forcing companies to keep on their parents policies til age 26-how does that make sense?
medicaid is already bankrupting state budgets-how can they afford for that cost to double since the qualifying rules would change from 70% above poverty level to the new 120% of poverty level?


the only way to fix medical, and get everyone covered is single payer. all this convoluted bs is just that, bs. it fixes nothing. it is unaffordable. but the pols are too chicken to do what really needs doing.
