  So now with this AHCA or Obamacare whatever you want to call it, is it right when I who am just able to get by with what I make. I have enough to eat a couple new cars, and a house that I pay a mortgage on and helping my father pay his cheaper hospital bills because we didn't want the more expensive insurance. I buy what I can afford and nothing more cause with my job now and all of our household income we make NOW $35,000- 38,000 a year. The household has about $50-$75 a month extra to put into savings for my own medical care, should I need it, and god forbid if I wanted to go to a movie which I never do. I may have some luxuries yes but I ACTUALLY earned them and right now am still able to afford them. When this Obamacare mandate actually comes through in 2014 not only would I have to pay a tax on health care BUT I will still have to pay a tax and pay for more care than I would actually use or someone elses care. Cause now having to pay that tax not only am I still not actually covered BUT if I need to go to the hospital for strep like I did last time(see previous quote) I still have to pay that out of pocket in addition to whatever the tax is going to be. The real sad thing is it's still going to be cheaper than actually getting insurance. So now if everything else stays the same in 2014 I will have 2 years worth of payments to make on one of my new cars the earliest of which contract is up in 2016. I got it in 2010 and by 2014 I will have made four years worth of payments with two left. If Obamacare stays in effect I would have to give up this or something else THAT I WORKED FOR to pay for someone elses healthcare or "free" birth control or mammograms cause they were born into a body that needs particular care or is to lazy to shop around or give up the unhealthy junk food that causes them to have health problems in the first place? Is this "fair" is this the the american dream? I have to much and have to give it back just to pay for someone else who isn't responsible? No one is denied care in the emergency room and it makes me wonder how many illegal immigrants go in and use it. What do we have an estimated 11 million unreported illegal immigrants in this country I don't remember. I have nothing against them but the problem remains that many show up and get care then skip out asap or have a fake id so when they get billed it's a fake address. I know alot of them don't even file a tax return so not only are they getting the care they still do not have to pay for it. I didn't choose where I was born and neither did they but we all have what we have and it's the way it is. Then ARIZONA passes a state law to help protect the states citizens and interests so that they check id's of whom they believe are illegal immigrants. They get crap from the federal government saying there is already a federal law to protect you but yet they don't enforce it. Illegal immigrants also are not supposed to be able to collect welfare but they do. Because of this country and its past we have to be worried about discrimination but are blind to real discrimination and how much we are being taken advantage of. You can get into this country legally but you might have to wait or put in a little more effort. I know I got off on another tangent but if anyone truly believes that these are all separate issues they are only fooling themselves. If you want to help someone out so much then do it you pay for it. When it comes time to put up or shut up the ones who sream the loudest don't. The reason you only see movie stars going to third world countries is because many of them already have millions and get more than 2 or 3 weeks of vacation time from their job. If there was a charity to donate to that taught a country how to feed themselves or work instead of just showing up and giving them food I would spend my $50 extra a month and donate to that. That to me would be preferable instead of just blind charity where we give them food and they do nothing but wait for the next time they come. It's sickening that this new healthcare law is what it is and an attack on my personal freedom to penalize me for someone elses fake "right" or false entitlement. If it was a personal expense that forced me to give up a car or something I earned than I say to bad for me, but it's not, it's me having to give up something I earned to give it to someone else in some way with no benefit to myself. American dream? How about all the businesses that are going to be effected and how much are prices going to have to rise to cover that or jobs cut to have that money to spend on everyone elses healthcare that works there. Obama doesn't know what he doing, or worse yet he does and is doing it on purpose. Still American dream? No its not.

  One of the problems is that since HMOs took place back in the 50's you will have a hard time finding any doctor that knows what the care actually costs. They need to just order the tests and if they don't know what the cost is if you ask, they have plausible deniability to say that the reason they didn't do a particular test was because the patient could not afford it. When we get to this new health commity stuff where doctors have to go through more hoops to get someone the care they need it will cause more people to go without the care they need or wait so long that their condition gets worse waiting for approval.

  Quigley says
  

  Women's health issues affect EVERYONE! If that "trailer trash" woman decides to let Bubba go for gold one night and the trailer gets to rocking, the product of that decision could be 1) a baby, 2) an abortion, or 3) a wet spot on the sheets.

  I know which one I would rather see, but opinions may vary. The health of the child-bearing portion of our population is the most critical issue to any nation, and has been since civilizations began. Power of nations has always been measured, not in soldiers, swords, or bullets, but in uteruses.

  So many people get to this point in their maturity and conveniently forget that their lives were made possible by a simple woman.

  Have you hugged your mom lately?

  Who is stopping them? However why should someone else pay for it when its cheaper and more readily available at the store out of pocket? If they choose to have a baby with Bubba that must mean they are mature enough to do so right? What is wrong with the system right now where they can't pay for their own child? Without generalizing show me a specific person in specific town with specific needs, show me her insurance costs or medical cause no insurance, compared to an honest monthly budget. There is no reason they need to be digging in my pocket. When I get married that is whos health care I should have to pay for. The system we have right now is not so broken that this can't be done but when AHCA finally comes into power things are going to be worse for some and slightly better for others.
