Obamacare health insurance premium costs

[azbob]

This just in...in order to make the program work, every American will be mandated to buy healthcare insurance...that is the concept of people paying their on way.

The IRS will police this.

The penalty if someone decides not to buy...a grand total of $94 per year.

Oh yeah...enforceable only for those who pay taxes.

$94 is not enough penalty, but it's better than nothing from the deadbeats who go without insurance, then show up at the ER for free care when something serious happens.

It's a start.

We should, of course, have universal, single-payer healthcare.

I hate the idea of government run health care, but honestly what we are doing is the worst of all worlds. Forcing through a convoluted version of what other first world countries are doing with health care. It?s full of half measures. As much as I loathe most ?far-left? Democrat policies, it's almost more troubling when the two sides ruin every idea with their supposed compromises.

I?m starting to think we just need to try one approach or the other. Go far right with the economy or far left.
Health care reform without trying to limit costs (which Obamacare doesn?t do) is insane!! We are ignoring the one huge benefit of a single-payer system. The fraud and money made in the health care industry isn?t going to change with Obamacare, it?s probably going to get worse.
