When we can no longer borrow the money, and it will happen,, the 47 per cent will be real hungry, and cold and homeless,,,

"Americans for Prosperity said in a statement that North Carolina should refuse to set up an exchange, as other states have done" This would probably benefit the poor in NC the most as it would eliminate the good 'ol boy politic's from it.Because the Fed's would then come in and set it up for them.

"Preventative care, prevents NOTHING." - whatelseisnew

Another patently false and ignorant statement.

Preventative care is not about discovering conditions that already exist so that additional care is needed. Instead, it's about people receiving ongoing medical evaluations to stop the development of chronic conditions that would require high-cost care in the future. For example: I learned several years ago that I am pre-disposed to heart disease because of my cholesterol. With ongoing preventative care, my doctor and I are working to minimize my chances of actually developing cardiovascular disease.

What a shame. This is completely unnecessary and simply adds costs. It would have been much more simple to just allow people to be able to purchase insurance from any provider within the 50 States. That is possible to do now with the presence of the Internet. These exchanges are not necessary and they actually limit choices.

"Only some of them. My boss provides health insurance and he does just fine. This is probably good though as it will thin the heard and leave the market open to successful business people. "

Also remember we have to pay much more in taxes when the uninsured end up in emergency rooms than had they had access to preventitive care."

Yeah you keep on believing that myth. Preventative care, prevents NOTHING. At best it might uncover a condition that is treatable through ADDITIONAL medical activity. The emergency rooms will not see less business, in fact they will likely see more business than ever.

while I understand this idea in theory, I highly doubt in practice it will play out that way once the government is running the show... they will find a way to make it so inefficient and bloated as to be just as expensive, sadly.

"Also remember we have to pay much more in taxes when the uninsured end up in emergency rooms than had they had access to preventitive care."

"Small businesses will not expand beyond 49 employees"

Only some of them. My boss provides health insurance and he does just fine. This is probably good though as it will thin the heard and leave the market open to successful business people.

"yeah, because all "employers" are rich people, right???"

The ones making the biggest stink in the news about giving people decent lives are rich people. Hence the hypocrisy. Hence the anger. Hence your crickets.

"The state should simply refuse to participate and ignore this terrible law. Dat MoFo"

That would be a good idea that I can get behind. Than the federal government can step in and run things right. I know city governments have been ousted and the running of the city taken over by the state. One can not help but wonder if any state government has ever been ousted and run by the federal government.

Small businesses will not expand beyond 49 employees. If they do they must pay insurance for all of them. Some businesses with 55-60-70-75 employees will lay many off to get below the 50 and be exempt from Obama Care mandate. Sad day for America. Ignorant politicians trying to help the poor...but in the end they hurt everyone. Health care fraud will be worse than medicare and medicaid. Health care costs will sky-rocket. The poor will pay nothing, the wealthy will foot the bill - as usual. Those on welfare will soon be living better than those paying the taxes to support them. I suppose that was Obama's plan all along.

****There is no choice. Some clowns that are incapable of understanding the Constitution ruled that ObamaCare is constitutional...

Do you really think that because something is *constitutional* that everyone actually does what is right???????? What country do you live in??????? In this country....actually no one follows the US Constitutional Rights....Communication and training are 2 things which our country is *lacking a lot of*....and there are a lot of people who do not even understand it to begin with.....people do as they are taught...which is not necessarily right....
