I didn't bother watching but let me guess

when he was running he said one thing and when he got in office and couldn't get what he wanted he had to compromise and then go out and advocate for his compromise

what's the point

it's passed and sometime in the future when an insurance company can't kick your off your plan for no good reason or can't exclude you for a pre-existing condition (most likely a mental disorder) you'll look back and thank Obama

Yeah - because if you watched the above you would not have any excuses to keep spouting your nonsense and lies.

If Obama felt that strongly against the mandate as he did when running, he would have vetoed the bill or refused to sign it.   Its called leadership and integrity.  Something this disgusting wretch and ghetto thug looting flash mobber has never had.

Sorry Straw -  obama lied about EVERYTHING and had be been remotely honest, Hillary would have won by a mile.   Obama was elected on lies and deciet.   His entire existence is based on lies and taquiya. 

Comprimise?  Sorry - something so big as the mandate is not open for that if you feel as passionately about it as he claims in the clip.   And did he ever say he only signed on to it because that was the ionly way he could get a bill?  No! !  !


He did so out of his utterly dishonest and corrupt dealings with the drug companies and insurers.  Do read anything at all?

I'm telling you how the world works and you should know this

on the campaign trail you sell your ideal plans and when you get in office you have to compromise and then you have to sell your compromise

the Dems caved on healthecare and we got weak compromise and Obama has to go out and polish that turd

that's the way it works

isn't it about time in this thread that you post some pics of Michell Obama or some similar shit that you do?

Ha ha ha - I know how it works - but what you refuse to accept is that Obama ran as something different - CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN.

Say the fine is $2k a year, but now the cheapest policy is 6k a year as a result of all the mandates.


Guess what happens, especially in times of economic depression ?

Its fucking reality, especially since they can't turn away pre-existing conditions.    why should anyone buy insurance until they get sick?


This whole scam and scheme is one of the most idiotic things I could ever imagine.  Legally, mathmatically, realistically, etc obamacare is one of the most inane and warped plans i have ever heard of.   


If I gave you $2 million dollars and told you to come up with a worse plan a month from now than obamacare - you could not possibly come up with anything as fiscally unsound and bogus as obamacare.

obamaCare is a ponzi scheme that will collapse under its own weight.   Believe in all the fairy dust you like, it will make you look that much worse when this thing is either struck down at the SC or repealed due to its unsustainable nature.

Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) received a handwritten note Thursday from Joint Committee on Taxation Chief of Staff Tom Barthold confirming the penalty for failing to pay the up to $1,900 fee for not buying health insurance.

Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor and could face up to a year in jail or a $25,000 penalty, Barthold wrote on JCT letterhead. He signed it "Sincerely, Thomas A. Barthold."

The note was a follow-up to Ensign's questioning at the markup.


http://www.politico.com/static/PPM110_090925_document2.html


Straw is like other gullible, foolish, and naive far left idiots  - they actually buy in to the crap spoon fed to them by other far left idiots.   People like straw are immune to the reality of the failures of the policies they advocate and always try to use the holdback of "we did not spend enough . .  . ."   "we did not go far enough . . . " when asked to explain the policy failures of the things they support.   


Its like Krugman, romer, Goolsbee, Krueger, et al tryingh to explain away their failures.   


These dirtbags speak only to themselves and have not an ounce of a clue how out of touch and out of reality they are.   Fod gods sake - their main guy is promoting space alien invasions as a way to economic success!!!!  Seriously!!!!   This is the level of nonsense these fools engage in and are left with nothing but petty insults to explain away the failure of their policies to generate positive results.     


Its like going to a gym and taking advice from the fattest guy you can find!   Who does that?   Well, economically that is what leftists do.

how about we look at what is ACTUALLY in the legislation rather than a handwritten note given to a Senator during the mark up period


from Wiki with reference provided on their site to the legislation that was actually passed

Impose an annual penalty of $95, or up to 1% of income, whichever is greater, on individuals who do not secure insurance; this will rise to $695, or 2.5% of income, by 2016. This is an individual limit; families have a limit of $2,085.[11][65] Exemptions to the fine in cases of financial hardship or religious beliefs are permitted



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patient_Protection_and_Affordable_Care_Act#cite_note-ksr_hlth-10


Frankly, I'd be fine with a one time waiver.  If you have the income to purchase insurance but don't want it you get to skip the penalty but you NEVER get back into the program.   That way you won't be able to avoid paying and then become a financial burden on the system later.  

After that you are free to purcahse private insurance but NONE of the provisions of the legislation would apply to you and of course you're still free to participate in an employers group plan if you so choose at a later date

I think that would protect the financial viablity of the program and allow idealogues to do what they prefer

As long as they can't be a financial burden on others (and what right winger would object to that) I'd have no problem waiving the penatly

There are many exceptions, including if the cost of health care exceeds 8% of your income

Either way, I have no problem with the fine

It has to be expensive enough to prevent people from avoiding insurance while they are healthy and then trying to get into the system when they are sick

how many people earning 90k a a year don't have insurance right now

IF they can't afford it now due to needing to be on a private plan that costs too much because of the current abusive practices then  the legislation is supposed to make affordable alterntives avaialble so they will not longer have that excuse

the only excuse after that point will be that they person chooses to live recklessly and expects the rest of us to subsidize their health care when they get sick or injured

yeah but it's not simply a 2k fine as was first written by 333 and it's not even up to that until 2016 at which time the legislation is supposed to have made available affordable alternatives so only an idiot would choose the option of the fine.   There are also many exceptions, such as if you don't make enough money to pay income tax (aren't we told this is half the country) or if your insurance would cost more than 8% of your income (I know people right now who pay more than 8% of their income for insurance)

those little details were left out

yeah but it's not simply a 2k fine as was first written by 333 and it's not even up to that until 2016 at which time the legislation is supposed to have made available affordable alternatives so only an idiot would choose the option of the fine.   There are also many exceptions, such as if you don't make enough money to pay income tax (aren't we told this is half the country) or if your insurance would cost more than 8% of your income (I know people right now who pay more than 8% of their income for insurance)

those little details were left out
 

Sorry i thought you knew the details of the bill, guess I was wrong.

THERE ARE NO AFFORDABLE ALTERNATIVES ASSHOLE!  

that's the point of the legislation ASSHOLE

you will have affordable alternatives when it actually kicks in or at least that's the premise and promise of the legislation

It's a shitty bill filled with holes, crap, piss, waste, corruption, constitutional "problems" and nothingness.

There are better ways to go about this particular problem.

much better ways

they could have just gotten rid of the legal monopoly that healthcare companies enjoy and written laws to prevent the most agregious abuses and that would have taken care of the majority fo the problem

I never understand why both parties couldn't get behind repealing the McCarran–Ferguson Act which gives insurance companies exemption from federal anti-trust regulations

Yep. No competition anywhere, they can get as big as they want and do what they want without fear of regulation or the law. They get so big and so powerful that politicians won't touch them.

And now a lot of those insurance companies got integrated with large banks and on and on...


Say, why doesn't the govt. enforce anti-trust laws with the To Big To Fail banks either?

Weird.

I agree.  I"ve said many times on this site that we should have broken up the big banks but instead we took banks that were too big to fail and made them 2-3 times bigger

It makes no sense but I think at the time they were just in disaster control mode but I don't see why they can't do something now.   

BofA would be a good place to start
