U.S. Supreme Court upholds President Obama's health care reform law

<quoted text>But what the Supreme Court upheld is that everyone has to take responsibility for buying health insurance. Everyone uses health insurance so the court said everyone has to buy it. I guess they could mandate everyone to buy food too because it is a necessity for human survival too. But, people love to eat, whereas most people are used to getting health insurance either through their employer or through the government. Only about ten percent of people buy health insurance, probably all business owners. So this shifts the burden onto everyone to have to get health insurance. This really takes on the obesity epidemic, and that's a good thing. I don't know about you, but I am sick to death of being attacked by women cause I am a thin woman. This stuff is ten years overdue. I have yet to see one fat woman get thin just by being cruel to me. Doesn't work very well, maybe them having to buy health insurance will work better than them bulling thin women. Just a suggestion.

Yep - I am wondering how they're going to collect that penalty from illegals who they don't want to even keep track of.

Will Governor Romney suspend his campaign and accept that America is only Obama Nation now? The die is cast and nothing can stop Obama now.

If you don't stupid, and you get in an accident, the other party can go after you civilly in court, have liens put against your home, etc.
In other words SFB's, you SHOULD have car insurance. Most states mandate you have insurance on your vehicle - if not, your license can be revoked.
Gawd, you're a dumb hick!

Perhaps the answer for legal citizens who work for their food and lodging is to become "illegal". Then everything's free without any penalties. You would not believe the number of persons who have told my mother to "spend down" and let the gov. cover her lodging, food, and medical costs. She lives on a very small SS -the result of over 60 years of saving and paying taxes. She will do without before taking money from a small family struggling to keep their home and feed their kids. Do citizens no longer have pride? Can no longer plan ahead nor save for a rainy day? nor practice delayed gratification?
Seriously, folks, do you not understand where all the "free" stuff comes from?-- workers who pay taxes - not the "poor"; not the "rich".
OBTW, if they will lie about this "transparent" mandate, uh i mean tax, what else do you realize is a lie or group of lies?
When you realize the only goal is: re-election, re-election, re-election, at any cost, and any truth - well truth given to the current audience and changed for the next one.
If you pay any taxes other than for the big gulp (soon to be less than 16 oz) at the local conv.- YOU pay.
The "government" is out of money and living on credit from other nations and our children. Who could have believed this scenario would ever be true in a fee country? the borrow, borrow more, exempt those who payed for my time in office, borrow more, I'll be out of office before the bill comes due.

<quoted text>He was making a joke. He is saying - we have to buy health insurance now, we should, we have had to buy car insurance for a long time, so what else is new?

CBO has released their report regarding long term cost savings withhe individual mandate;
"CBO told lawmakers that the health package would cost $940 billion over the next decade, reducing the deficit by $130 billion. It will reduce the deficit by $1.2 trillion in the second decade of the plan's implementation, according to those who have seen the score."

How many illegal immigrants do you know drive a car and have car insurance?

Just a thought but what is the incentive to become a doctor now? Huge student loans, care and fees to be dictated by a washington bureaucracy,class warfare to tax the rich. Little return for such a large outlay

Well first of all i work for a small company and our insurance has skyrocketed the last few years becasue of this, my wife works at walmart and their insurance went up three times what it was before obamacare, and we will see if anything gets capped, we all know, that ANYTIME you REQUIRE anything that costs go up up up and im sure this will be no different. Its not taking the responsibility off of small businesses either, it is requiring them to have insurance for there employees or pay a penalty. Or as they put it another TAX. The worse thing about it is how you slowly have seen the last 3+ years, the government taking more and more control of our lives telling us what we can and cant do, this is not waht america is suppose to be about, have you ever read the constitution? Obama must go and must go soon

<quoted text>They don't have insurance and what they do is they hit you on purpose with their car and then sue you. I've had Mexican guys tell me they have done that. And, if they are illegal, they do not have to buy health insurance. Makes the case for an amnesty so that they have to buy health insurance, but, they traditionally have very large families they cannot afford to support, so no matter you make them citizens, they ALL have 5-10 kids, so they all are eligible for welfare and free health care no matter what. Don't you love diversity?? We are all the same, we are all as one. Yeah right.

Well at least we agree on something Pammy. Except for one item in this post anyway. As of today, there is no such thing as "Free Health Care"....at least according to SCOTUS.
I can't wait to see how they plan to extort penalty money from people who don't have any money.
If The Great Reckoning comes in November, we won't have to worry about that anymore.
