What will we be "mandated" to buy next?

[dblack]

Willing to bet your life on that? They told us the same thing when mandatory auto insurance was being crammed down our throats. It was a lie then too.

I was arrested about 6 years ago because I got into an accident and I didn't have any auto-insurance.

deadbeat ****.

you ******* creep. if you or anyone else got seriously hurt we'd all be paying the bill

Do you carry insurance protecting people you might accidentally push off the sidewalk into traffic? Or into the tracks at the subway?

No? You miserable irresponsible ****.

 

[Zxereus]

I think it's ridiculous that I should have to pay for childcare while I'm at work.
Come on Dems, get on this !

 

[daveman]

hopefully muzzles for the right. I am up for kicking in a few dollars to muzzle the right who thinks that Mitt is actually going to get rid of the only thing that pays for all the other benefits of Obama care that he claims he agrees with.

Yeah! **** the First Amendment! NO ONE has the right to disagree with my lord Obama!

Right?

 

[daveman]

Voters elect parliament -> parlament appoints the government, which then is accountable to the parliament. Britain or Canada are the closest examples. Government more often than not is supported by a stable majority in the parliament. Otherwise Government has to build a majority every time it needs a vote. If it fails, the deadlock is solved by new elections. This makes a tug of war between the executive and legislative branch impossible.

The Founding Fathers were afraid that the parliament can easily usurp all the power, but such things never happen in practice. If only because hundreds of MPs will never agree on how to share that power between themselves.

"That government is best which governs least."
-- Thomas Paine

That is a pretty silly maxima, because it simply means that it is better to abolish the government altogether.

Wrong. It means government doing what it's supposed to, and nothing more.

And if you're curious about what it's supposed to do, it's outlined in the Constitution.

And that's all.

The more roadblocks to government power, the better.

Why build "roadblocks" if the government is serving us? Instead of making the government dysfunctional, we should make it accountable to the people.

You think the government functions now? You think it's accountable now?

 

[daveman]

No.. it's not the same thing.

Oh yes it is. Try telling that to the IRS when they come knocking on your door. Keep up not buying HC and you will end up behind their door. The ones with medal bars.

There are NO criminal penalties in the ACA.

page 4 of the decision: "Neither the Affordable Care Act nor any other law attaches negative legal consequences to not buying health insurance, beyond requiring a payment to the IRS."

And does the IRS do when you owe it money and don't pay?

Hint: They're not going to ignore it.

 

[daveman]

No they can't make you buy, but they can tax you more if you don't.

According to your definition of term, handing over all your money to a mugger is "voluntary" because you can "choose" to take a bullet instead.

Except your fellow countrymen are not muggers. We the people elected the Congress that passed the ACA.

That mistake will be rectified.

 

[daveman]

so will all Non-Pet owners be required to purchase either Purina Dog or Cat chow on a regular basis?

Depends. Is Ralston Purina a big Dem contributor?

You wouldn't. You'd be demanding the rich pay your fair share.

Any thoughts on that?

Since the Fed can now force us to buy hc ins, there's no end of things that can be mandated, for our own good.

I'm thinking life ins. Those evul grave diggers demand thousands of dollars just to dig a hole and put your loved one in it.

Forcing everone to get it, and giving it free to the poor will lower the cost of premiums and make certain no one ever has to pony up for any of the costs of dying.

plus all those evul life insurance companies = about $14 trillion dollar industry, so we should put more government regs on them.



This is a sad sad day for freedom.

The health care companies are required to spend at least 80% of what they take in on the people who are paying them. I know, Republicans feel that's way, way too much. Just because people pay for this service, doesn't mean the money they spend should be spent on them. We have "investors" to take care of. And CEO's, all of which are much, much more important than some "sick" people.

 

[chesswarsnow]

Sorry bout that,

1. Next thing they want to mandate, is you eat healthy.
2. And if you refuse, it will cost you dearly.

Sorry bout that,

1. Then mandate your thoughts, thought police will be knocking at your door, if you think impure thoughts towards Obama.

I self insured, moron. If you have enough cash to pay-off any damages, why should you be forced to buy insurance?

Since you're so opposed to deadbeats, why do you support Obamacare which pays the medical bills of 40 million deadbeats?

 

[chesswarsnow]

Sorry bout that,

1. Then mandate what doctors you see and when you have to see them.

We all have to wear boxers. They are more comfortable.

 

[NeoTemplar]

Sharia seems a good bet as a mandate by our Emperor but not a popular one.
