ALL the possibilities need to be explored. So Mr. Thomas Cochran needs to STFU and deal with his proposed solutions and quite bitching about efforts of others.
If you will ultimately go to jail because you don't buy the Health Ins THEY want you to buy and you don't tribute to THEM, then you can and most likely will go to jail.
You can hide behind you stupid little tax argument, but the bottom line is that you can go to jail for not buying health insurance.
"I wish I could see the faces of those people who oppose a health care bill that kicks the "health" industry's ass, when they then get denied coverage, and have to die. Slowly. And painfully."
You are more certain to see the faces of those people who are told they have to wait 3 months for that kidney transplant or are given a pill for a heart condition and sent home because of rationing and end up dying slowly and painfully.
Of course, if they can afford a ticket to Asia, they can still get great quality care there.
Who produces more for a society, a factory worker who puts cars together, or an investor who makes long term and short term loans to car companies so they can make payroll, invest in new plant and equipment and do research and development?
"Investors" are just a integral to production as are "workers".

How's that Hopey Changey thing going for ya?
I'm sure family members of victims will relish the last communications of their loved ones being slashed all over wikileaks.
So would these modern temperature measurement be the ones from stations placed near air conditioners, parking lots, etc?
That the stations that record these temperatures are in violation of their own guidelines is well documented at http://www.surfacestations.org/.
Actually, hundreds of billions less 1 billion that Al Gore has accumulated.
"Democratic dressing room fluffer"
Nice...Permission to use use in the future?
Document? I don't understand. What is "Document"?
I only changed one little line of code! It wasn't even important enough to test!
This isn't a pissing contest.

That's "totally employed" person now.
You are right. Obama doesn't have anything to do with it.
The Dems are passing this law and spending gobs of money despite his objections.
Cheap trick.

I didn't say squat about Dems or Republicans did I?
Like I said...
1. Pass a law requiring a certian behavior.
2. Tax those who fail to bend to your will.
3. Jail those who do not pay the tax.
Who among us does not have the ability to see that step 2 is designed only to enable step three in case you fail to follow step 1?
And to think...he's coming here.
In this case, me first, fuck you.
I suggest that you take up your argument with Merriam-Webster.
You may want to call file and police protection a socialist scheme, but that doesn't make it so.
Unions and Congress, who are exempted from this bullshit.
"under the watch of Republican presidents"
Repeat after me: "Congress is the only government branch that can raise money and spend it."
Constitution Authority?
Constitution Authority?
They don't need no stinkin Constitution Authority.

And if you got a raise...your job was "saved".
Come on folks, even the L.A. Times says Obama's created or saved numbers are pure bullshit.
How convenient.
Pass a law mandating a certain behavior or pay a tax. Don't pay the tax, go to jail.
You are not being sent to jail because you didn't behave the way we want, but because you didn't pay your taxes.
Sorry, but that's how it's been since the beginning of time. And until we have an endless supply of energy and labor, it will remain that way.
BTW, the "Markets" in medicine are what brought us Cat scans, MRIs and just about every advanced technology and life saving procedures out there .
That's defibrillator that just saved someone's life in the hallway wasn't built and sold for grins and giggles.

Unions and Unionized companies usually deserve each other.
