1. Single payer.
If you think that sounds sexy, move to South Florida and try enjoying the highest home insurance rates in the world, thanks to our monopoly single payer home insurance "Citizens" Comrade insurance.
They just rased my rate $600 a year, though I should feel lucky they raised my brother $1200.
The Monopoly was started after state legislators threw all of the insurace companies out because they wanted to raise the rate from on average $800 only 10%, they said no. Then started this single payer.
Now the average rate is $3,000, well actually $3800 because they just raised everyone on average 30% in one year.
This effect is already being felt in the health industry, since Obamacare passed the average premium has gone up 70-85% with no one in Washington saying dick about it. They are to busy doing the happy dance watching their stock climb through the roof.
FUCKING SUCKERS!
It's not healthcare it's Mussolinicare. Buy from the company store or face the firing squad.
Facepalm. The ACA is a piece of crap, but comparisons of politicians to fascist dictators needs to stop.

Paul Hannum, 45, died on Thursday, August 3, 2006, from a ruptured appendix. His daughter, Cameron was born two months later.
Under Obama care NOTHING changes in the outcome of this story.
Under Obama care the Middle class is straddled with the burden of paying for healthcare for the poor, while not being guaranteed (Affordable)healthcare for them selves. In spite of the legislation's name.
Under Obama care Paul Hannum may have just paid his $2000 fine at the end of the year, because he couldn't afford the $2000 a month.
Paul Hannum, would still be uninsured the day his appendix busted.
Who would you Liberals blame then?

Only a Facist dictator would demand one class pays $2000 at the end of the year, if they don't pay $2000 a month to a company, and still leave that class uninsured. While claiming to cover "Everyone".

Depending upon Paul's income, his health insurance probably wouldn't have cost as much because it would have been subsidized.
The example wasn't a good one, though. The guy delayed his visit to the ER because he didn't like to complain... his appendix probably burst and he went toxic before he allowed himself to be treated.

Everyone is tensely awaiting the Supreme Court ruling on Obamacare. I think that it will,more or less, survive. One of the few good appointment Bush II made was Chief Justice Roberts. His ideology is conservative. When he puts on his judicial robes and goes into court he is fair and impartial. I would love to be in his court anytime. If Obamacare is struck down many sick people will die. This part is frightening. The big winners will be HMO's like Kaiser that will get $36 billion in Medicare cuts restored.
