    Why can't we allow folks to decide if they want to buy up front. For those that decline and need care later, mandatory enrollment at the time of care with retroactive wage garnishing and a hold on any tax returns until said bill is paid in full.

    If the incentive is there even without the mandate it should compel folks to pony up. I'd probably buy in if faced with those scenarios.

    Am I being too simplistic in my thinking here?

    I have no problem with enticing people to buy insurance, but the way this law is written is out of line in my view.

    I pay out of pocket when I don't have insurance. One time, my ex had to go to the emergency room. The bill was in excess of $2k, but we paid it over time. I know, expenses can exceed that, but I would choose to have a cheap insurance with a $5k deductible or more. I see the whole idea of forcing me to but a product I do not want as absolutely uncons utional.

    One way capitalism can make health care worse and more expensive

    What do we expect from a system in which, as ProPublica reports today, body imaging companies hire telemarketers to sell random people CT scans over the phone?

    wc refuses to buy any healthcare. he's still nanny stating us.
    I wish you would stop your slanderous lies.

    I do pay for health care insurance. Statements I made before that said I wouldn't buy it were what I would choose to do under other different cir stance.

    You make up lies more than anyone else here.

    How does anyone live with you?
    i bumped a post for you in the newt thread. you're welcome.

    It's about damn time they revoke that bill!

    I'm tired of parents calling into insurance companies to put their 18-26 adult children on their coverage plans. Total bull , those ne'er-do-wells need to put in 90 days at a job and get their own plans like everyone else. It's real simple...if you work, you have. Case closed!

    Wow.

    There needs to be a much tighter noose in this area of medicine. The CARE Act is aimed at this.
