How, indeed.
Yes, because the ends can never justify the means. Because Obamacare will fail and we will be left with the mess. Because it encourages injustice.
No doubt a starving man will steal a loaf of bread but that does not justify bread thievery.
He all of a sudden changed his stance in 2010. This was because he knew he was going to run for President.
So you can’t tell the difference between someone “evolving” and someone “changing his stance because he would be unelectable”? Do you always accept what politicians say?
Um…no. You still get billed for the ER visit. The tax is on top of your medical bills.
No, but if his starvation is the result of acts of omission/commission by those in a position to make food accessible, then he is NOT the only guilty party - indeed he may be the least guilty of all…or is he supposed to simply lie down and die?
Do you trust Romney on the health-care issue then?
You missed my point. I have no beef with someone who steals bread when he is starving, though it is not the solution I would prefer.
My beef is that you seem more concerned with accusing the authorities with what you term ‘stealing’ than with the happy fact that people who are indeed starving (by any objective measure) are being fed.
Oil companies are about as profitable as other businesses are. They’re just big. Look it up. It’s easy to do.
Not to mention that it’s going to something necessary for the common good. Unlike money/subsidies going to…say…highly profitable oil companies - something which I likewise am unable to do anything about.
I believe it is the same rate. 1% of combined income in 2014 steadily increasing to 2.5% of combined income in 2016.
A family could end up paying the full tax & for insurance. That doesn’t seem right.
If you’re asking what the penalty is for a total lack of coverage then I listed above (I may have misunderstood the original question). If you have a situation in which some members of the family are not covered then the penalty is assessed on an individual basis not a collective basis.
Yes, it has exactly the opposite effect. Federal student aid makes college much more expensive. Insurance makes medical care more expensive, and government mandated insurance will make it even more expensive than it is now.
I was noticing that myself–I think it would be a record, a thread being closed for hitting 1000 posts in less than 24 hours!Wow, this thread is going to cruise past 1,000 posts before morning. I guess people feel strongly about this or something.
