Quote:I am a consultant in California. I support myself and choose to not purchase health insurance. I am very interested in holistic health and natural supplements. You won’t catch me on an antibiotic unless it is in the public’s best interest that I am treated promptly.
It didn't give it away that this person might have a bias or might be a fucking are-tard by the fact he or she proudly proclaims they believe in "holistic medicine," which is just fancy speak for "handful of bullshit placebos?"
If an employer cannot afford to give basic fucking medical coverage to their employees then they shouldn't have that many employees working to provide services for the company's income that can't cover basic medical coverage. What a load of crap.
As far as not being able to afford it, even if your fines go up to $800 a year...you know how much that is monthly? That's around $67 a month. $67. A. Month.
If you're ACTUALLY hurting THAT badly for money, chances are you either are spending way too much money on stupid shit and should cut back, OR, you're below the threshold for having to pay that amount or even for paying full price! The threshold, which is, as I recall, maxed at making 400% of the established poverty line; meaning if you make up to $45,960 a year as a single individual, $62,040 with one other dependent, OR $78,120 FOR HAVING TWO DEPENDENTS, you are eligible to get health care coverage that you can basically go to a website and shop for to get whatever basic or extensive health-care you need...AND RECEIVE A FEDERAL SUBSIDY TO DO SO. In other words the government will PAY YOU BACK, to be medically insured. These aren't even government-based healthcare provisions; they're private health providers who now have to legally submit their rates and coverage information to this database so that people basically can shop out what they do or don't need and at what cost.

This ALSO extends to small businesses who SUPPOSEDLY can't cover their employees; covering them will actually cost them jack shit since most of this shit, which should be provided anyway, will be reimbursed to them. And the mandate is ONLY TOWARDS THEIR FULL TIME EMPLOYEES, not their part-time ones! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obamacare#E...king_hours
Quote:The employer mandate is a penalty that will be incurred by employers with more than 50 employees, if they do not offer health insurance to their full-time workers.Not to mention they're delaying the employer mandate until 2015 anyways, likely to hammer out the concerns that have been raised over it.
So people whining about small businesses not being able to cover their employees? BULLSHIT. People whining about not being able to afford the mandated health-care? BULLSHIT. The claims that this makes the impoverished suffer? ALSO BULLSHIT, because they are exempt from the requirement AND the fine for not having coverage.
You have ZERO excuses. The government is basically stating that people can no longer be medical-finance ticking time bombs waiting to blow up and fuck another hospital over, and that they're going to get you covered to prevent such possibilities, and at the same time they're going to make sure that your health care expenses are actually going to be DRASTICALLY LOWER THAN THEY WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE BEEN BECAUSE THEY'RE COVERING A LARGE PORTION OF IT THEMSELVES.
Only those completely ignorant of what they're talking about are against the PPACA. If they stopped parroting the bullshit the rich fucks who stand to start actually having to pay money to the government for once in their privileged white-bread lives scream about, and learned what this ACTUALLY does, in both the small and big picture formats, they'd realize that this is actually a REALLY good idea and it'll benefit this country ENORMOUSLY.
Fuck! It's like giving a sandwich to a person dying of starvation and he slaps it away because he heard it has trans-fats in it!
