That's no ok with me Tazzy. I agree, we should stop forcing our hospitals to treat the uninsured.

When this debate was going on, I posted a story showing how health care lobbyists were writing what the Congress people on both sides were saying on the floor (i.e., the same people were writing the Dem and Repub positions). No one here blinked. The conversation died immediately. If it's not talking points, no discussion. That's the problem.

To my way of thinking, it's proof that the insurance/big industry lobbies hijacked and mangled the bill for their benefit! I understand this view and share the sentiment, but it's also easy to see why some in positions of power wanted this provision just to force the sharing of costs with a portion of the population who wouldn't draw the associated benefits. This actually, as you probably already know, isn't the first time someone suggested a federal individual mandate to help reduce costs in this country. It was actually the centerpiece of Lincoln Chafee's response to Hilarycare in the early nineties. The question they just continue to avoid is "Is it right to force people to buy into this program?" My personal answer is, no.

The issue, however, is simply semantics and politics. Passing a tax would do the same thing, is unquestionably legal, and not paying your taxes is already a criminal expense. No essential difference save for the sound bites.

Cato84 -> RE: Creating Criminals (1/23/2011 12:03:05 PM)
Well, the difference here is a little more than semantical. In its current form it IS a tax. It's just a tax that is levied if you dont perform a requirement. The requirement here is purchasing health insurance. If it were simply a blanket tax to all in order to provide governmental universal health coverage the logistical ramifications would be different than this situation. But I guess you're right, you could just call it a tax.

And using a pussy way to do it as well. Heretic, I strongly suspect that the term, "Brown People" is a euphemism for "Illegal Alien." I don't care if they're "Brown People", "Black People", "Green People" or "Orange People", if they're in the country illegally they need to be "Deported People." It's like that lame saying, "the ones that are already here", the ones that are already here are the ones in violation of our laws!

joether -> RE: Creating Criminals (1/23/2011 2:43:53 PM)
I'm having a hard time understanding how 'Obamacare' and 'santuary cities' are considered in the same train of thought? This thread is just another conservative 'babble-fest' of nonsense and silly conspiracies that don't logically add up.

TheHeretic -> RE: Creating Criminals (1/23/2011 2:58:27 PM)
Popeye, as you have yourself pointed out on a few occasions, illegal immigrants come in all colors. By specifying "brown," the accusation became one of racism.

Doesn't "creating criminals" sound more like some graphic artists sitting around a room, thinking up and sketching characters like the Riddler, Lex Luther, the Sandman, the Grinch....

No one here blinked. The conversation died immediately. If it's not talking points, no discussion. That's the problem. As what happened when links were posted concerning Monsanto's boy Michael Taylor essentially writing the S. 501 and H.R. 2749 bills, or the financial industry having their way via the Banking Modernization Act and Commodity Futures Modernization Act, followed by successfully repressing all states from passing anti-fraud sub-prime loan abuse acts, followed by their even more hands-on writing of the financial reform law that punishes small banks that had nothing to do with any of the aforementioned or the concomitant meltdown, etc. No different in nature than what has always been, but it certainly has become incredibly blatant these last 20 years or so, coinciding with media's loss of what little independence they had by way of mergers and corporate acquisitions. But ... What has any of that got to do with Sarah Palin? Having to confront how our laws are actually written and realizing that the whole D/R-media show is just a sham makes people feel powerless. Conjuring up ever more puerile designations and misspellings of the president's name or carping on what Glenn Beck said or starting yet another thread on Sarah Palin (at least one a week here) evidently makes people feel somewhat less impotent. Pitiful.

A crime is a crime is a crime. In our play we are law breakers and usually wind up paying a price if we get caught. However, we do so knowingly and are willing to accept those consequences. Fortunately it falls under one of those crimes not really enforced. I said prostitution is exempted from this discussion. What I am talking about is the stolen services from hospitals and physicians across the country. No ER that takes federal money is spared. People walk in, take the service, dont pay, and walk away without a worry. And this is ok with you?

That too is changing with hospitals going to credit services. Would it be ok with you for a hospital (more specifically and ER) to turn you away simply because you cannot afford the care?

KenDckey -> RE: Creating Criminals (1/24/2011 7:27:52 AM)
As i explained before. This thread isn't about obamacare or illegal aliens. it is about shielding and creating criminals. A santuary city is shielding an illegal alien because they refuse to enforce the law. ICE doesn't go looking for illegal aliens and in fact tries to stop other law enforcement agencies from doing it. Obamacare made 50,000,000 people (estimated uninsured peoples that I saw someplace but that isn't important) criminals because they don't have insurance. My son pay $9.95 an hour worked for medical care thru his union which was happy that this happened. I believe based upon what he has said about what happened in the general membership meetings, that his union is considering disbanding health care now and turning it over to the individual. It would probably be cheaper, but that isn't the point. The point is the again the shielding and creation of criminals.
