Re: [MBZ] ACA
(BTW, this isn't directed at Roger Hale) What's wrong with the ACA? Need a compelling reason to keep it at arms length? How about these reasons? A whole new monster will have to be fed when we already have a deficit situation. How financially bad must the fed make things before people see a disaster? it continues ONLY because they can print money - and the more they print the less we have is worth - but they MUST print more as that's the only way to pay their bills. A good reason to not jump on board aca? How about it's not the government's charter to provide health care? (or many of the other things that are driving this country farther and farther into debt? Like Detroit? Good that's that's where we are heading - it'll just take the USA longer cause we can print money) The Constitution has served us pretty well for over 200 years - now people want to deviate from it on the promise (and nothing else BUT a promise) of a street hustler who never had a real job, refuses to release education and other records, is distributing jobs as czars like a card dealer in Vegas and then allows those people who have zero congressional oversight to make high salaries while they create humongous regulations that will control every minute factor of our lives? Is that compellingenough? There are plenty of ways to improve the greatest health care system the world has seen without throwing it in the trash and giving it to a bunch of government bureaucrats! (tort reform, allowing insurers to cross state lines for 2) We don't know who these people are! How do we know they have our best interest at heart? They may be fine people but they are so well protected by the bureaucracy we will never know - until we see the regulations they are cranking out faster than the mint is cranking out sheets of 100 dollar bills! We used to be able to count on the news media to vet these kinds of people for us. Now they have their own agenda - and we're not a big part of it. They only dig through the trash of those perceived as conservatives so it can be splashed on the TV News. How can people not see the problem with what's going on? You seem to be willing to _hope_ for the best and if that's not what you get, oh well, maybe we'll like socialism? Well, no one in the history of the world has found it preferable to freedom, but hey! maybe we'll be the 1st? Yeah, that's it sheesh Creating a new financial monster using the federal government to administer it, who as a whole, has the _worst _track record of anyone who ever tried to successfully operate a traditional business, arethe LAST thing we should consider. There is NO reason to think it will succeed other than wishful thinking. We need to operate on facts, not wishes.

Re: [MBZ] ACA
Well, if 12-18million illegal aliens can break the law by illegally crossing our border (an infraction that can get you shot or imprisioned (as in mexico) in most countries) and our fed govt takes the tactic of ignoring those law breakers -- if we can get a similar number to refuse to enroll will they come after us? Why would they justify chasing down 12-18 million people for not signing on to insurance when they won't chase down a similar number who broke a law (illegally crossing our border0 that is one of the few things the constitution says the federal Government is authorized to do? IMO if we can get a similar number of people to refuse to sign they will find something else to do... Of course, the illegal aliens are potential demorat voters so the powers that be tend to be permissive - while those who might refuse to sign the insurance plan are people who might also be members of Tea Parties. And we already now the administrations vision of the TP. Speaking of illegal aliens breaking a law that the fed now chooses to stop prosecuting, when will they decide murder is OK? Or train/bank robbery? The fed has already chosen to ignore law breakers who intimidate voters. Why not murderers? What has become of America? BTW, I missed the last gun thread --- if I may add a small comment -- instead of doing deep background checks for all gun transfers, how about deep background checks for people wanting to run for office (the job done previously by the news media) and posting any law breaking history on the internet?

Re: [MBZ] ACA
I actually one night read whatever version was posted before they voted on something that needed to be passed before we could find out what was in it. I think it was something like 1200 pages, but it was double and triple spaced and had very little on each page. A good part of the law addressed lots of other laws, and adding money to various programs that had nothing to do with health (or medical) care, or maybe peripherally. The parts that were related to health/medical care were pretty much incomprehensible, and referred to setting up various other boards and commissions and such to suss out the details. So basically there was not a lot in there to do with health/medical care and it just sorta kicked it down the road to these various other groups to try to figure out. So basically it spread a lot of money around, and gave the responsibility to bureaucrats who apparently would not really be answerable to any guiding or managing force. I think that is why it is a train wreck and nobody really knows what the hell it actually is, or does, or when, or how. Lucky us.

For more information on how the government plans on collecting delinquent payments, click here » Chief Justice John Roberts acknowledged that the penalty amount “will be far less than the price of insurance, and, by statute, it can never be more.” He, also, went on to add that some Americans may find it a “reasonable financial decision” to pay the penalty rather than purchase insurance.

Re: [MBZ] ACA
i'm going to say the same thing i said before. the current system is unsustainable and sinking. i'd like to see what the new one has to offer in practical terms before passing judgment. it may be the worse disaster of all time, but i'm not commenting until i see it in action On Thu, Aug 8, 2013 at 5:35 PM, roger...@comcast.net wrote: Gary, Let's see...2000 page bill nobody read, changes made to a law by the president and NOT congress, 16,000 pages of regulations that few have actually read. By the time you wait and see what's in it, everyone (except the politicians) will be screwed, including you. ACA is sorta like the Fair Tax...looks reasonable on paper, but a pure train wreck to try to implement. Everyone knows what is wrong with our current health care system, but can congress address those problems, no, they pass a new law to create new/different problems. Just sayin'..

[MBZ] ACA
I think we can all agree that the ACA is a train wreck in the making, - Sharing much personal information with the IRS, the one that is said to be involved in a phoney scandal, - Having no control of who that personal information is given to, - Being forced to pay for something more expensive than what we have had, - Being subject to penalties if we don't want to buy the product, - The Obama administration uses words to obscure the truth. For instance, they talk about the new federal Health Insurance Marketplace. But the so-called “marketplace” is a government bureaucracy. And the so-called “health insurance” is government health care. By saying this over and over, even reporters think itʼs true. The Wall Street Journal, on the front page, declared that government exchanges are “where individuals can shop for private insurance.” This is not true. If you use the exchange you apply to the federal government under penalty of perjury. The only thing available on an exchange is government coverage. All you can get is traditional Medicaid or the new “Medicaid for the middle class.” - The Obamacare Exchange is actually a Federal Takeover Center, or an Obamacare Implementation Center. The Minnesota law, for example, specifically requires the Exchange governance board to “exercise all powers reasonably necessary to implement and administer… the Affordable Care Act.” - The exchange can also be called a Wealth Redistribution Center because it will transfer wages of the young and healthy to the old and sick. Itʼs also an IRS Enforcement Center because the IRS will use vast data on individuals to track insurance status and impose penalties. And the exchange is a Government Dependency Center, offering Medicaid policies to the middle class. Donʼt enroll in the Exchange. - etc., - etc., - etc. If you want to do something about it, go to the Citizen's Council for Health Freedom website, http://www.cchfreedom.org/ and join their REFUSE TO ENROLL Campaign. From their website, Weʼre rolling out our “Refuse to Enroll” Campaign and we need your help. Itʼs simple. Go to our website – cchfreedom.org - and download our “Refuse to Enroll” flier. Email it, make copies, post and share it broadly. Distribute it at county and state fairs. Finally, send me pictures of the fliers being posted, read or distributed. Weʼll use them to build our refuse2enroll campaign. If people refuse to enroll in Obamaʼs Exchanges, Obamacare can be stopped until it is repealed. Today is two months before exchange enrollment begins. Help us counter the coming Obamacare marketing blitz.

People love to have health care and want it at prices reflecting Wall Mart sourcing and demanded by the gov't proves best price and care. Sheeple, in otherwords. Too many other fundamental problems will preclude this happening. Debt, education, banking, military, transportation, etc. Not me? I don't visit people. I guess I could try to alienate myself from the checkout counter person at the grocery store. I bet they get all sorts of people doing that. Then too, I don't have $$ to do any health stuff at all, yet I need meds to function, so I live in my kids basement - yes, really.

Re: [MBZ] ACA
i'm more thinking to wait and see on obamacare. lots of propaganda now but reality will be someone different. maybe good. maybe bad. i will reserve judgment until i see it in action it's like that new google nexus 7. looks GREAT on paper, but i won't consider buying it until it's been out for a few months and has some kind of track record in actual performance.
