If the cost to do this was spread evenly to everyone who makes more than 20K a year, would you still be in favor of it?

If you say NO, well the joke is on you because you can bet that this will trickle down to the middle class.

I just can't understand the logic of penalizing people who work hard and are successful and rewarding the people who are lazy and ignorant. It makes NO sense.

Why reward people for being lazy. Why reward people who are not responsible and blow the money they make. Why reward people for not trying to further educate themselves and drop out of high school. Why reward people for having 5 kids, when they can't afford to have 1. Why reward people who break the laws of this control and come here illegal? Why reward people who receive govt money and then spend it on drugs or gambling?

Why do we take more money from the people who spend years educating themselves, who work their asses off 60-80 hours a week. Who save their money and spend responsibly, who wait till they can afford to have kids, who stay away from drugs, who build successful companies and hire people (CREATE JOBS).

Our whole society is based on giving hand outs and rewarding people for not contributing positively in our society and trying to drag down the people who are making the biggest contributions and have busted their ass with blood sweat and tears to do so.

I just doesn't make any sense. How can anyone with 2 brain cells think that this system is fair, much less in the best interest of EVERYONE. Tearing down the people who contribute so they can give free hand outs to the bottom DOES NOT help the country as a whole prosper int the right direction. People should be held accountable for their actions and if they truly need help, then they can get it. But if they are just lazy and riding the system (like most) they shouldn't be given a penny. Get up off you ass and get a job, be responsible with your money, stop doing drugs, stop having kids you can't afford. As long as they are receiving free money they will have no incentive to change... /rant
Wow that is just plain stupid thinking you have there, I have two kids I pay for my insurance my home my car and don't think I'm lazy, well some days I am but that's prolly a lot to do with the cancer in my body. Every time I turn around my insurance company is raising my prices. I have been in adult for 10 years though I may not be a high roller as yourself but I make enough to make ends meet most months! I really think our health care needs to be reformed, I do not know if this is the right way or wrong way hell I don't even know what all is in this damn bill.

For someone like you to be standing on YOUR HIGH PEDAL STOOL ranting and raving about this sure shows how much of a shitty life you have! Try to explain what all is bad with this bill and maybe try and find what is good with it as well. Put yourself in others shoes, you work hard have a lot then find yourself jobless or some medical issue pops up and all your money gets taken for hospital bills that your insurance only paid 80% of.

Like my sister for instance, she has asthma so bad she can't work because she can't even go from her room to the bathroom without having an attack. I can assure you she would rather work then be bed ridden. But I know there is no talking to you because your too good for people that don't make as much money as you do. Sad!
