You say I'm wrong and then go prove my point. Thanks.You are patently wrong about that. I have worked in health care 22 years in both the clinical and the business side. Every dime that gets 'written off' by a health care facility or practice is absorbed by the other patients who have insurance and copays, and that isn't even counting the amount of medicaid and SSD that gets spread around to people who are uninsured and unisurable. A bill like this will require that everyone contribute and I see nothing wrong with that. I just don't see why everyone can't comprehend that.

And no, this bill does not require that everyone contribute. The opposite. Low income people will get vouchers from the gov't for health insurance. That is not contributing.
So you want low income people to die outside the hospital and be stacked like cord wood? LOL.
This bill does not replace medicaid. That will always be around. But there are people who end up on it, and who end up as write offs who would/could get insurance. But they can't. This bill is for people who do not have and cannot get insurance on their own. You know, the working poor. Or even the not so poor who are uninsurable. I several people here who are independent contractors of one type or another, but they can't get insurance for themselves. It would give them the ability to purchase insurance. And THEY really want it to go through!
I cannot deal with your level of ignorance. first, you need to admit that my first post was correct, the taxpayer does not always get stuck with the bill. Then you need to apologize for channeling Alan Grayson. Third, you need to go familiarize yourself with what the bill actually says.
Obamacare does nothing to reduce the costs of health care and health insurace, which is the real issue today. In fact, it sets things up that will increase those costs. It will put everyone in a third party payer situation. And in that situation there is no incentive to economize, thus higher costs.
