Yes, and the giant insurance companies LOVE that shit!
Now...what COULD have happened is Pres. Obama could have stopped Big Pharma from charging Americans 4 and 5 times MORE for the SAME EXACT prescription drugs. But no...let's force people to buy insurance.
Or he could have stopped hospitals from price gouging and charging $15 for a single tylenol and $50 for the paper dixie cup to drink water to take it with. But no...he decided to go with forced insurance.
My feelings are: People shouldn't need health insurance for their normal health care. We never had to do that in the past. We just went to the doctor and paid for it. (you know, like things are supposed to be)
"Insurance" by definition is supposed to be for catastrophic medical problems. You are supposed to be "insuring" yourself in case something bad happens instead of it being some kind of third party payment scheme for every time you stub your toe.
But thanks to the Federal govt. holding hands with the Big Medical and Big Insurance corporations starting back during the Reagan years...the American people have been fleeced.
And I'm sorry...but Baby Jesus Obama fell right in line and furthered the never-ending rising costs of healthcare.
He's just another crooked politician. Just like the rest of them.
