Good for those that need healthcare but can't afford it. |

Re: Supreme Court Upholds Health Care Mandate
Personally I like the plan, especially kids in college being able to stay on their parents plan. When I was in college I saw the price of medical insurance, on my own, as a healthy 20something was just crazy. I decided to gamble -- and lost. It's when I really started to hate the medical system in the states. I realize I gambled and lost. I paid about 25K for 45 minutes in a hospital and 700 a week for 16 weeks for antibiotics to try to attack the lyme disease. I made a mistake, and understood I had to pay this money, but what made me upset -- is that insurance companies would have paid significantly less for the exact same system. A self-pay patient shouldn't have any different rate than an insurance company.
Secondly, the mandate for insurance is important. How can you mandate auto insurance, and in some cases home insurance, but not require medical. If this was overturned couldn't legal precedent be set to make those insurances optional as well? I'm actually curious if there's any reason why auto is required whereas health insurance wasn't.

One step closer to the full liberal agenda and breadlines.

Re: Supreme Court Upholds Health Care Mandate
Egg all over CNN's face. How could it let that happen?
Anyhow, this ruling is a great day for America, although what we really need is a true universal health care system. This will do for now.

Re: Supreme Court Upholds Health Care Mandate
Lotus, I'd also like to see a true Universal Health Care system, just not sure how you support the additional load created by illegal immigrants as we do in CA.
Would removing the Insurance companies from the equation help to create a more egalitarian system? |

Re: Supreme Court Upholds Health Care Mandate
The best part is that this plan is about the same plan as Massachusetts.
Massachusetts has the most expensive family health insurance premiums in the country, according to a new analysis that highlights the state’s challenge in trying to rein in medical costs after passage of a landmark 2006 law that mandated coverage for nearly everyone. Great idea on in gov. Take a failing plan in one state and make it the national plan. Bravo!!! |

Re: Supreme Court Upholds Health Care Mandate
Rather make an attempt to restructure healthcare and try something new than sit back like a bunch of dipshits on the right and do nothing. Anybody who has a clue knows rising healthcare costs over the last ten years and with massive aging population, something needed to been now. Yet the right bitches and moans and offers no plan. Please check the figures on health care spending by this country over the last 10 years, do you think we need to do something?
