		<description><![CDATA[&quot;It is about redistributing wealth by coercing some insured individuals 
to pay for the insurance of others. It defies the old adage that if you 
give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, but if you teach a man to 
fish, you feed him for a lifetime.&quot;[MV].


I am trying to think of a society that runs smoothly where wealth isn&#039;t redistributed in the taxation system and, indeed all communal systems.  The sick will take more from an health system than the robust but must they also go &#039;fish&#039;? 



Problems should only arise when the economy pushes more and more into the &#039;needy&#039; pool of those reduced to queuing for food parcels, and the number of supporters diminishes.  



It seems to me the problem is the usual one;  the cost:  Your drug companies grossly overcharge as do insurance companies.  


In my home country, we pay 6% as employee and 6.5% as  employer toward the Social Security fund.  There is the usual cap to protect the wealthy.  This covers all our health needs.  I see that your Social Security (equivalent) tax is very low and will go to 3.8% under Obamacare.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“$501.98 cents a month for health insurance, but I qualify for a $500-a-month tax credit — therefore my premiums will cost $1.98 a month.” - Randy Turner, PuffHo blogger.
No Randy, your premiums still cost $501.98 a month, but taxpayers are now paying 99.6% of it, and you&#039;re only paying 0.4%.   Legalizing theft doesn&#039;t make it right.  A 57 year old retired teacher, no wonder the government is going broke.  .]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[re:  &quot;Because Obamacare imposes ridiculous, expensive mandates&quot;

Here&#039;s another example.  Since my individual plan upped coverage to meet beaucoup &quot;mandates&quot;, I am now paying for lactation counseling.  Pretty ridiculous for a 64-year breast cancer survivor who needed a double mastectomy.  Can&#039;t make this up, can you?]]></description>
