I know the costs would be huge but you got to understand my thinking I have not gone to a doctor for anything since 89 or 90 I have had issues since but still don't go, since i take care of myself in many ways not just working the oddsA
are with me. Aren't Americans taxed enough? Now I have to get this (actually i will just fined) Years ago i used to work in construction (when I had insurance) if i was sick, once even with the flu I still went to work, this was heavy work outside in the cold winter, so when friends of mine had minor colds and worked in an office took a few days off I could never understand it. it's just they way i grew up. I guess for your point of view I am crazy but it has been working for me well over 20 years!
PS don't be so upset you guys won it's a law now. If Obamacare does not work out the I don't think the Dems will not take the White house the next time.

Taxes on American's are actually one of the lowest in the industrial states. So no, we probably aren't taxed enough. But one of the best way to lower taxes is stop giving tax breaks to corporations and the wealthy.
Today, on average you give $6,000 to corporations on a yearly bases due to their tax breaks, increased taxes to make up for their lower taxes, and their subsidies.
As to your going to work sick, that is part of the problem with people who go to work sick. They get others sick. I can't tell you how often I have been at work when someone is sick, and they just past it to everyone else in the office. Net effect is decreasing productivity due to people being home sick. Their kids getting sick and parents having to stay home for them..... We could go on and on and on. But it isn't a good idea. It is also inconsiderate of others that you work with at your employment.
And yes, I use to do the same thing, until I realized the misery I was inflicting on others. Fortunately today, I can work from home so I opt to do that when I am sick.
