...and yes, THIS will be the likely outline presented to Congress. Tell me how it works out for you. The overall analysis is ok if you are young, or wealthy. Otherwise? Well, you read and decide. And, in your head, keep track of the assumptions regarding states picking up some costs.

Personally, I'm just itching to get the mandate repealed. I'm also not going to be purchasing insurance for next year either. If it stays, I pay the fine, if it goes, that solves my problem. However, if that rat bastard goes after Medicare, he's going to tick off a whole lot of seniors, including me. I've got 4 more years of maybe or maybe not purchasing so-called affordable health care to deal with, one option which includes not even having any insurance at all. That's a risk I'm going to have to take. If the Republicans get rid of Medicare, my only choice is death, because I sure won't be able to afford any privatized BS plan they're going to come up with.

so, TC, if you get into a bad car accident and aren't covered, who's picking up the tab? You have enough assets to cover, months of rehab care? Geezus, give me a break, saying that having no insurance solves some sort of econojic problem. That just isn't very bright thinking when you try and justify risking absolute catastrophe.
