Also, she wants people to have the freedom to "opt out" of government insurance.
They already can.
Further, she wants those who opt out to either A: die if they cannot pay......
Or B: be taken care of by......by.....by....YPU GUESSED IT! The rest of society.
She truly is this daft. Sad.
WHAT? G.T. have you talked to any people who are
started to get 1, 2 and now 3% cut out of their income because of the health care mandates?
People are being FINED.
This is no longer a free choice.
If you don't buy insurance under the terms of the mandate,
the govt automatically takes an increasing percentage out of your income
which is showing up on people's tax returns.
G.T. I was planning to go on a hunger strike if the mandate
doesn't change by the time my job ends in September that is paying for my insurance.
Without that, my monthly cost will rise from 30 to over 300 dollars.
I am already paying 300 a month to cover the van for the nonprofit work
done by the Democrat Precinct Chair in our Precinct who reneged on the agreement
to pay "every other month" so I have been paying 300 a month for over 2 years.
So I have argued the Democrats are creating "involuntary servitude"
expecting me to pay 300 a month for insurance I cannot afford
while I am already paying 300 for other expenses, Not including
the interest payment on about 60,000 total I have lent to bail out
two districts destroyed by Democrat administrations that allowed
taxmoney to be wasted on corrupt officials and programs while
the nonprofit groups doing the social work for free had their funding
cut and programs evicted where my money went toward keeping them running
and serving the community.
This is outrageous that the Democrats have pushed and allowed
this "mandate" to stand that would force someone like me, working
two jobs to pay for even the VAN that the Democrat Precinct Chair uses
as his transportation, and then expect me to pay another 300 a month
to avoid a fine through the IRS.
G.T. that WASN'T there before this ACA was passed.
Before, I would have the choice to pay for these other programs
and skip the insurance. I have friends who offer to cover costs
since I am covering costs for other people. But it's broader than
just health care costs, it's housing, transportation, all kinds of
costs for keeping community volunteers and programs running.
Now I would face an additional deduction off my salary that
is already used to pay for all these other expenses.
Where are you getting that people can opt out of the ACA mandates?
THAT IS WHAT I'VE BEEN ARGUING FOR, THAT THE MANDATES
SHOULD BE VOLUNTARY. so only if you AGREE to be under
the federal exchanges and ACA, then you are required to pay into it.
But G.T. the BIG controversy is that ALL citizens are required
to buy into this mandated insurance plan. And that's why people
have been arguing that federal govt overstepped Constitutional authority
by requiring citizens to buy private insurance to AVOID a tax penalty.
We are being FINED and it is a form of DISCRIMINATION for people
who believe in paying for their own health care.
Did you even READ the rules for exemption? You have to be
part of a religious organization that has been in existence since 1999.
So there are Govt regulations on exemptions, that is the equivalent
of regulating religion! If you are not affiliated with a qualified group,
you get fined a tax penalty. So this discriminates by creed and religious affiliation.
G.T. what do you THINK all the uproar is about over the ACA mandates?
It is either forcing people to buy insurance or fining them a percent of
their income going up from 1 to 2 to 3 percent each year.
WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPLE ARE YELLING AND PROTESTING???
We lost our free choice in buying insurance when the mandates
were passed REQUIRING this or else pay a TAX PENALTY.
so people are yelling about "no taxation without representation"
where we didn't agree to tie in tax penalties with any condition to buy private insurance!!!
Where are you and C_Clayton_Jones getting that this is optional?
If it were optional, as I have argued it SHOULD be optional to opt in or out,
then NOBODY would be yelling. The whole protest against ACA is over
the mandates pushed by federal govt through the IRS without a vote or
Constitutional amendment giving federal govt authority to mandate health care
for individual citizens and states much less forcing citizens to buy a private service!
