The insurance industry is all FOR PROFIT. Affordability isn’t just going to happen magically. I’m not sure how these fat cats in Washington think everyday folks are going to be able to afford to pay this price. What if I do not or CAN NOT comply? Are they going to put me in jail? Garnish my wages? This is fascism. I am distraught by the idea of adding another expense to my already stretched household. When I consider the following expenses: homeowner’s insurance, car insurance, various federal taxes, various state taxes, etc., I find I am already paying about a third of my income as some form of “fee” or “tax”. I wish they would start completely over on health care reform. Try to figure out a way to extend the benefits of the existing Medicare and/or Medicaid systems to those whose employers do not provide an affordable option. I wish President Obama would’ve stuck to his original stance on the whole mandate issue. He was flatly against it (and with good reason). What a betrayal.
