      Ah, wingnut logic. Something that will decrease the un-insured which actually INCREASE it.

        Considering there are only 308 million people in the country to begin with, that's one heck of an increase.

          Yeah, didn't even think about that. We're going to go to 250 million un-insured? Almost the entire country? Something tells me, no. Nope, not even close.

      It will. If it passes, why should I have health insurance? I'll save a lot of money by paying the fine. If I need healthcare, I will sign up in the ambulance and I can not be denied for having a preexisting condition.

        Because, like most folks, if you receive health care coverage from your employer, nothing is going to change.

          BJFan's "plan" made me laugh out loud. This is the childish and spiteful( and ridiculously hypothetical) reaction to health care reform that could only come from a Limbaugh fan.

          And don't worry, Rush's theory (direct from the place from which he pulls all of his theories) will be cited as a real statistic by the mindless minions who follow his teachings.

              Bobby, we know you want the President of the United States to fail.

              How would this make it fail? You do realize, that if you're fined, then those fines are going to be used to PAY for health care for those who cannot afford it.

              You'd be helping it to succeed.

          I do get healthcare from my employer. I am going to drop it if this bill passes. The fine will be less than what I have to pay for my policy. If I get sick, I will reregister and I can not be denied for having a preexisting condition. While this bill will be a disaster for the country, it will save me money on a personal level.

            And that just proves your ignorance/stupidity as it refers to health care. They have to provide it to you, but they can then charge you whatever they want to charge you (free market after all).

            Which means, you come to them say, God forbid, you have a heart attack, and you NOW want coverage. You don't think they're going to gouge you for as much as possible? Of course they are. So good luck with that one.

                No, Cuga, I'm a little more compassionate than that. I don't think people like BJFan are necessarily evil, just frightened and misinformed.

                They should suffer some short-term consequences for their laziness and willful ignorance, but ultimately I'd hope that they can join our society, despite their misguided attempts to destroy it.

              Not to mention, should BJF have a need for health insurance, I'm pretty sure his company will make him get his own, as in, they won't subsidize his insurance plan any longer, which means, he will be paying out of pocket for a full plan, which means, for someone doing single coverage such as myself, would run about $1500/month.

                          Coming from most people, I would have read that as a clumsy dodge, and an admission that the entire published paper thing was BS.

                          Coming from BJfan, I believe he's serious. Not that there is really a document, but that he believes that if there were, dangerous liberals would use it to personally threaten him.

                          I can't imagine going through life with that sort of fear and paranoia. Looks like hard work.

                            He is probably thinking that, if he shows us his published work, then we can get his name. We get his name, we can track him down with the Google, and threaten him, or something like that.

                            Which, I don't care really myself. I'm pretty sure I've got better things to do than to trek across the country to threaten someone that I don't even really know, and have only had disagreements with on the intertubes. I don't take it personally.

                                  Liberals are disordered thinkers prone to extreme fits of emotion. Liberals are guided by emotion and not analytical reasoning. If you don't get your way, you throw a temper tantrum and become dangerous. Conservatives are vulcans.

                  Krugman is absolutely NOT on the faculty of LSE. He is a visiting lecturer. He is not tenured. He flies to London twice a day to deliver a lecture. This is not a faculty position. Big difference - you would know that if you went to grad school.

                  The Austrians probably invite him there to spew his nonsense for their own personal amusement. They probably like to laugh at him. LSE has standards - they would never offer a tenured position to a buffoon like Krugman or his pal Stiglitz.

            I strongly get the idea you are just saying that, Bobby Jindal fan, but I think it's a fab idea. I am for single payer and will never purchase health insurance - I refuse to be told that I must patronize their for-profit businesses. Health insurance companies should not exist. And health care prices must be regulated. We do not get health insurance through an employer, and thus far it has increased the minimal job security that exists these days, for us. We don't care to throw our own or anyone else's money down the toilet. When you go to the doctor or hospital, you sign a form releasing the insurance company from the responsibility of paying claims. The insured, not the insurance company, is responsible for the bills. Insurance companies cannot pay all claims and still be in business, because of the prices of the medical care and the cost of running the company and paying its CEOs - and the peons, as well. We don't need a middle man, we need real reform. And we are going to get it. Not from this lame health care proposal, but from its impotence. We can't do it right the first time because of those people who haven't yet been on the wrong side of the health care monstrosity, personally. They are happy as can be. In fact, if they last long enough for us to get true reform, it is they that will be saved along with whomever else is lucky enough to survive that long.

              Health insurance companies should not exist.

              This comment reminds me of one in America: Who Really Pays The Taxes?. The book details the loopholes and legal ways to avoid taxes, and the complexity of the Tax Laws. The authors note that there is an actual industry of 'tax preparers', which exists only because of the complexity of the laws, and they say the system should not be that confusing.

        Home schooled kids run laps around public school kids. When was the last time a public school kid won the national spelling bee or the national geography bee?

        In public schools, they are so busy teaching diversity, sensitivity, political corectness, and sex-ed they don't have any time remaining for reading and math.

        The public schools are all about indoctrination. BTW, I was not home schooled (not did I go to public schools). However, my kids most certaily will be home schooled. We don't want the public schools contravening our value system that we teach our kids.

          This is the kind of brainwashing that Fox and the RNC have brought about with their decades-long campaign of fearmongering and lies. Only someone who is stupid or afraid could say something so grossly untrue without even a second thought. Indoctrination? Seriously? Into what?

          I went to public school in the 80's and was only indoctrinated into the free-market capitalist system. Took me years to unlearn that non-sense. Now schools are breeding grounds for commies built right here on American soil? Wow. That's a conspiracy theory for the ages.

                        OK, first, he was a Mormon. I don't agree with their theology, or religion at all, seeing as how it was created out of whole cloth by a well known scam artist and all. That's the first thing.

                        That he was admired by the JBS says another thing about him. He loves his conspiracy theories.

                        His plan to privatize social security, don't so much agree with that one.

                        His theories about the rise of fascism and communism around the world have pretty much been prove false, as in, other than China (which really isn't communist in regards to its economics) tell me how the commies are running the world again? How are the fascists running the world again? Oh, right, they're really not.

                        In the 5000 year leap, he speaks about how the US was founded as a Christian nation, which is funny, seeing as how that part escaped mention in the Constitution and all. The Founding Fathers, as almost every scholar would agree, were deists at best, and non-religious at the worst.

                        And his entire theory about the Soviet Union trying to take over the entire world and turn it commie were of course, unfounded, as after the Iron Curtain fell, we then really found out how badly organized the Soviet Union actually was.

                  I cited Von Hayek's work proving my analysis of non-monetary efactors effecting currency valuation. His name is not in the title. I used him as a case study. The topic was an analysis of non-monetary factors effecting currency valuation.

                  I hate central banking. I argue it should be banned because it is subject to political influence in which case it is not a free market. As long as we have a Federal Reserve, we do not have pure capitalism. Von Hayek would surely agree.

                Okay, and this proves what?

                You spelled it the same way 5 times here. What does that prove?

        Millionaires and billionaires won't outrageous amounts for health insurance. They'll just pay cash when they need treatment.

        Why are you jealous of millionaires? What have they ever done to you -- other than probably give you a job?

      He's being restrained; i'm sure he'd like to say that every human being on earth, as well as fourteen generations to come, will not only be uninsured, but will have to give blood to vampires in order to eat.

      250 million is quite high, however it appears that there will be some that will probably lose employer subsidized insurance, depending on how the final figures work out.

        He's saying that all the people who currently have employer-provided insurance will drop it as soon as possible.

      What he seems to be forgetting is that at the rate the insurance premiums are already going up he is going to have to shell out 23 grand a year anyway. Well, maybe HE wont have to... I bet people who do the insurance companies evil bidding get some kind of deal.
