Quote:Actually the law is not the law.  By the letter of the law all the subsidies on the federal exchange to residents that didn't participate in setting up state exchanges are illegal.  John Roberts had to rewrite that part of the law to bail out the white house.  

 

Second, it's not better than what we had before.  Before an average person could buy catastrophic coverage and save money for basic medical care in a health savings account.  Now even the most basic HSA plans are loaded with so much mandated garbage that the average person can't afford them without a subsidy.  

 

Thirdly, last time I checked personal responsibility was a fact of life, not some gustapo ideal painted on the back of a swatstika.  The more that each individual can do to support their own weight in society benefits society.  The alternative leads to running out of other people's money and being forced into draconian austerity like Greece.  That's the real propaganda.

 

When someone starts telling you about making something affordable and the first thing they start spouting off about is how everyone and their friend is going to need a subsidy RUN!!!

 

 

LOL, tell that to the oil industry, the banking industry, and car industry.  You guys have such selective imaginations when it comes to "responsibility".

 

If you would just admit that the majority of subsidies, the majority of bailouts, the majority of the redistribution (including tax breaks) goes to the top 1%, I'd begin to agree with you more.  

 

If not, you're just spouting the propaganda.  Sometimes, I just don't get you guys.  You defend those in power that are making it harder on all of us.  

 

Now don't get me wrong, I'm doing well enough to support my family and allow my wife to stay at home with our 2 kids.  But, dude, I'd never side with the group that hosed us back under George W. Bush and Bill Clinton and RayGun.  Yet you guys sit here and defend those policies as though they are the answer.  Have you not learned the lessons yet??
