Depression, alcohol treatment, all sorts of shit that people should pay out of pocket for.
Many people just want a low cost high deductible catastrophic plan but many states don't allow it.
Because the state then has to pay for the services that those people without the coverage use at some point in their life time.

Public schools are hardly underfunded; the money is badly mismanaged. DC spends over $15,000 per child. Yet they have among the worst educational systems in the country.
Underfunded. We spend trillions on military. The military has got us where recently? Oh right no where. We were attacked on our own soil, and now losing two wars in foreign lands that most retarded products of the poorly run and funded education system can not pronounce or find on a map. Cut the military. The biggest cuts need to come from their endless supply of weapons that have yet to make us safer. Or do you truly believe the whole world wants to kill us? Bush is gone dude, that era is over.

Are you ok with the below?
________________________ ______
For example - lets say Apple lobbies obama and the congress to force people to buy an ipad or face a tax penalty - legal
Ruger lobbies Romney to force Americans to buy firearms or face a tax - legal
Chevy wants to recoup its losses by forcing us to buy a volt or face a tax - legal
Solyndra lobbies obama to force americans to buy its solar panels or face a tax - legal
NYSC lobbies Romney to force people to buy gym memberships or face a tax - legal
Monsanto lobbies Obama to force american to buy tomatos, salads, etc or face a tax - legal
You're making arguments for things that do not exist.

Public school system and MSM has conditioned most people into pure stupidity and obedience.
Just at those on this board cheering this on.
They are slaves and lemmings.
Wrong. A badly underfunded public school system has enabled a stupid American generation to take root and care more about Britney's new dress than what is actually happening. I'm reminded of the saying "wouldn't it be nice if the schools got all the funding they require and the military had to hold a bake sale for their new weapons?" Damn straight it would be.

I hope you at least understand the vast new powers Roberts gave to the govt to compel and control individual behavior w this.
I hope you at least understand the powers the government already had. You as an individual can choose to move. I suggest you do. Maybe by seeing the world you will realize how small minded, petty and above all nasty you are as a person. And if not fingers crossed you get kidnapped.

I don't like the reform when compared to what could have been done. But i agree this is step towards a better system. It's not perfect and the way insurance companies were able to weasel their way in was absolutely wrong. However, 30 million people will now have access to health care, and millions more will be able to get basic services. The removal of the "richest country, poorest healthcare" label is coming to an end.

Getbig Main Boards / Politics and Political Issues Board / Re: Ron Paul thinks Social Security is Unconstitutional......... but he's on it.

That is the craziest damn argument I've ever read on here.
No it's not. It's about a principals. If Ron Paul has an anti-social security principal then collects SS, that is the exact same type of hypocrisy i mentioned above. Ron Paul is suppose to be all about his core beliefs and principals, that's what makes him so appealing. His message is the same. Except when it's time to collect his cheque, then he's gonna line up like everyone else. Typical politician really. It's a shame you Paultards try to elevate him to saintly status when in reality he's just another snakeoil salesman in office. Telling you one thing, then doing another.

I agree he should be not be able to get away with this. If his office is not answerable to the representatives of the US people, then democracy has failed. However, the electorate is not exactly crazy on these issues. One need only look to Canada's recent election, their PM was found in contempt for withholding information and was voted in with a majority because of it. It all depends on whether or not people understand the magnitude of the event. I'm guessing the American public, i.e. not on political boards, doesn't really care and just wants to find or keep work.

You don't have to deport them. Just make penalties for employing them severe, proof of citizenship for DL, no schooling etc. Then they will leave. Additionally, this "reasoned approach" is garbage and ignorant because if you don't stop the flow, we will just have the same problem again.
Not gonna happen. Those companies pay millions to political campaigns to ensure the status quo is kept. Slave labor is alive and well. No it won't. Immigrants will still come here illegally unless you give them an opportunity to come legally or stay legally. Get an education, contribute to society, stay out of trouble. Those are immigrants America needs and wants. The demographics of this country are shifting towards an aging population. A boom of immigrants who become educated and contribute is just what this economy needs long term.
