SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS OBAMACARE SUBSIDIES

Has nothing to do with Democrats, it's how the system worked and to some extent still works. We had top tier insurance and that is how they did business and it's why so many people were going bankrupt. If you live long enough chances are virtually certain you'll have a major medical expense and at least in the past, that event, assuming you survived, would likely have precluded you from getting insurance, unless you worked for the govt.., or some flush corp. with a great group plan, those are facts, not Demo talking points.

Thank God! :) I need my health insurance.

I honestly have completely lost faith in the ability of the people, the good ones anyway, to make much if any real difference in what Washington DC does. Oh, I do still call and write my representatives and senators... in vein. At least my rep who was one of the freshmen class of 2010 seems to be a very good guy. I like him. He does seem to get it, but he walks a tightrope with Speaker Boehner too. The truly overwhelming majority of both the House and almost all of the Senate are NWO oligarchs who are more concerned with protecting their finger in the pie of power than they ever will be of whatever the law or the general public says.

I do still call. I won't quit, but I am completely disillusioned with the idea that it will stem the tide of lawlessness and restore the republic.

We need a real only-God-could-do-that miracle friend. Only thing that will bring that is prayer and repentance. It's what we should have done all along. It is getting harder and harder to pray for forgiveness and mercy for our country and easier and easier to pray for protection from the coming judgment.

Lord, please give me bread, butter, and bullets... and please Lord protect me from having to use the bullets.

Fine, get out a pencil and calculate whether your usage correlates to what you paid in, bet it doesn't. And when you get your medicare and you run up seven figures in costs, way beyond your contribution, be sure to pull the plug on your life support. Part of living in a civilized society is having some sense of community, sharing costs and risks, and accepting that maybe you'll take more than you gave, or maybe not, in which case you can consider yourself lucky for not having a costly medical issue. Right now, and in the recent past, the medical business and insurance co's have taken far more than their fair share, Obama care was a tiny step in trying to balance the accounts, small step and deeply flawed, but better than nothing. Single payer is what is needed and at least Obamacare is an inch in that direction.

Doesn't matter if I would take out more than I put in to medicare, since it is an old age insurance plan I have been forced to pay premiums into ever since I have been working. I would have been much better off if I could have used that cash for private insurance that was tailored to my needs. Part of living in a civilized society is not running around with your hand out expecting the government to tend to your every need, or voting for those who will take the most from the makers to give to the takers.


Under obamacare the insurance companies are taking even more, but you don't realize it because your subsidized bill is sent to the working taxpayers. By the way, governmental control and collusion with private companies is fascism.

Of course it matters what you pay in and take out, forced or not. If your going to play mister righteous I don't need no govt. help, at least be consistent. Guaranteed, if you live into your eighties or nineties you will have taken far more out that you put in and you will be "leaching" off other younger workers, throw in expensive medical costs and you're a super "leach", at least in your value system. Regarding using your SS cash, or better known as privatizing SS, ya, super investor would have made a killing, not likely, but a convenient out if your trying to hide your hypocrisy. Who are these makers? Because all I see in this economy are takers, and it's those who take the least who end up needing subsidies. Really, you're a maker? Doing what? Very few in this society are net givers, and those who are, ironically tend to be lower income.
Collusion between corps. and govt. has been going on for many decades, and there are much better more accurate examples of that than Obamacare. Forcing people to buy from private insurance co's is a problem, granted, but there is an easy fix which at some point should happen - best done by eliminating the insurance co. middle men altogether.

Making one's stand against a slightly skewed vision of fascism by attacking the humane principle of providing healthcare to everyone, most importantly those who can't afford the inflated gouging prices that MDs, hospitals and Insurance co's charge, which is the vast majority of Americans, right up to and including the upper middleclass and somewhat wealthy, isn't going to play well as more people figure out the scam medical system that Obama care at least took some baby steps to correct. The Republican presidential candidates are going to self destruct over this issue, and one wonders if they are destroying their party deliberately. It was republican Bush who had written into the Iraqi constitution universal healthcare, what did the Bush administration (and the rest of the developed world) know that the Republican candidates
don't seem to understand?


I know perfectly well the insurance cos are making a killing, and shouldn't be, but they were making a killing without Obama care, at least now there are some payout to administrative ratios they have to live with as well as other concessions, i.e, have to accept those with prior conditions etc., so minimally our govt. is making a gesture towards asserting some authority over them, not near enough but as said, an inch in the right direction.

Your attempt to belittle those getting subsidies is pathetic, and is far more characteristic of a fascist mindset, that is, attack those you (falsely) consider weaker or lower than you, than anything you could squeeze out of Obama care. Fascism is a lot more than just govt. private collusion, you might want to study up a bit.

yeah and since THEY gave you that wheelchair and the delays continue,'
THEY will then tell ya "you don't need that surgery anymore"
or
"your condition has deteriorated to the point THAT surgery cannot alleviate it"

JUST LIKE MEDICAID.
