Here goes.<br /><br /><i>population figures from wikipedia</i><br /><br />Population of US: 305 million<br />Population between 20 and 65: 124 million, a large pool of possible buyers of health insurance<br /><br />Offer catastrophic insurance plans at $25/month (just to use a figure), removing the restrictions concerning buying across state lines equals 3.1 billion dollars per month.<br /><br />This large sum of possible profits would draw many into the field to provide the service, thus making for more competition. <br /><br />Competition without the need for government interference nor the need to put the American taxpayer at risk. <br /><br />Thoughts?Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02792653155614547164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-67650638416061966882009-09-28T19:27:06.277-04:002009-09-28T19:27:06.277-04:00Sen.

John Ensign (R-Nev.) received a handwritten note Thursday from Joint Committee on Taxation Chief of Staff Tom Barthold confirming the penalty for failing to pay the up to $1,900 fee for not buying health insurance.<br />Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor and could face up to a year in jail or a $25,000 penalty, Barthold wrote on JCT letterhead. He signed it “Sincerely, Thomas A. Barthold.</i><br /><br />Is this the home of the brave and land of the free or what.<br /><br />Heck, I'm not gonna pay a cent. That way I go to jail, get 3 squares, a cot, and FREE health care for a year (and I don't have to worry about preexisting conditions). Thanks Mr. Obama. ;-)Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02792653155614547164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-63654515028674923662009-09-28T16:03:25.616-04:002009-09-28T16:03:25.616-04:00The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone su...<i>The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 56% are opposed to the plan. </i><br /><br />Health Care Plan in Distress! O my!<br /><br />It seems to me the Medicare System is being raided for 500 billion buckos. Isn't that the elderly welfare program? I also wonder if E. Emmanual did not have something to do with that strategy. Just a thought, no proof.<br /><br />Ah, the racism card is once again thrown onto the table.

He had the misfortune of living in a heavily republican district and he asked what he should do. I told him to act angry and run as a republican. There's no shame because they don't govern the way they say they will anyway. <br /><br /><br /> He decided winning wasn't worth comprimising his integrity.Joe "Truth 101" Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08875151516978133598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-87508603946964732312009-09-25T12:45:31.889-04:002009-09-25T12:45:31.889-04:00The elderly are being confused by political messag...The elderly are being confused by political messages claiming they're going to have their medicare cut so that health care can be extended to all Americans. Sadly, elderly folks are easily confused and often live in residential facilities where they are manipulated shamefully. I was running for a local homeowners association office against a slate of realtors who used their influence to keep opposition candidates, like me, out of their premises.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553541514560319083noreply@blogger.com
