Re: Obama taxes the middleclass

I agree, I did not like the mandate idea at all. I am aware that there are many younger persons (most of the western world) that think they will never be ill and so they don't need insurance, which works well until something happens...diabetes, hit by a bus, snoking, skin cancer....most of these diseases are now beginning at earlier ages. I don't know why. Could be environmental. I do think something needed to be done, and at least we have a starting point at health insurance for everyone.
 
I don't know if you saw the NBC show last week when it was revealed that one hospital had the bill collector talk to the patients BEFORE any services were rendered. That's obnoxious, especially since medical care is the only thing we consume without knowing the price before we consume it. So, I am hopeful that the pressure from the IRS (who will collect the tax) will do some work on pricing.  Just watching the billing from my very own surgery last month was enough to make anyone dizzy. I get a bill twice a week for the same services and always different amounts. When it stablizies I will pay it. It's a real mess.
 
It took us several hundred years to get the Constitution where it is, as well as civil rights and other issues...I think we have a lot of negotiations in the future. Obama will be remembered as the first president who got legislation passed allowing most Americans better health care. L

Hi Lynne,

I was AGAINST the mandate..... precisely BECAUSE it served corporate interests.... forcing a lot of people, who can afford it, to buy PRIVATE INSURANCE.....
So, I'd say that Roberts stayed true to his "corporate" interests... made the insurance companies a boat-load of money....
Now, let's see if the "feds" can, in the future, arrange to lower private insurance premium costs... because not buying medical insurance at all is no longer an option for anyone of even moderate means....

To answer jgg;s question: Justice Roberts - a conservative. He usually votes corporate interests. I was surprised that Kennedy did not vote with the liberals, but life is full of surprises.
