When the government takes over total control of health care in this country in 2014, the bureaucracy will have the legal power to dictate what you can’t eat, what you can’t drink, and what you can’t smoke -- all in the name of saving the government’s health care dollars so that all the previously uninsured can head to the emergency room for every friggin’ hangnail.
Complete and utter retarded bullcrap. The government is taking "control" of almost nothing. The HC Act was about insurance regulation and covering the uninsured through either carrot, stick or more welfare. There's no fuckin' single payer system and looming government national/socialist beauracracy coming. If you got a beef about putting more than just gramma and gramps butsing the deficit on the dole, fine. I get that. If you got a beef about how the Romney Plan was adopted nationwide (like states that have required auto insurance for years) to mandate health insurance in a capitalist, regulated, market, fine. I get that, too. It may or may not work requiring some entity to pay into health care costs so those who can (individuals, companies, an dthe gub mint) get some of the burdon spread out. It may or may not work. Who the hell knows?
Just don't make stupid shit up.
Gotta hit the ignorance button on this tired shitty take.
Didja also hear that there's gonna be Happy Meal Panels? Michelle Obama is gonna tell you what you can and can't have in them.
And lastly, any of these insurance companies can pry the chicken wings from my cold, dead hands. Just up my statin to 20 mgs and STFU.
