I started getting my Sunday-morning-show-instigated-Tourett's again this Sunday while Obama was arguing with George Snuffalupogus about this.  Poor George--he just kept frowning deeper and deeper.

I hate this century.

Well, at least you guys know one thing for sure, now.  Obama does not have the balls slightest desire or reason to stand up against the wingnuts,

What are they going to do to people who don't pay for health insurance? Take away their license to health?

How do they collect premiums?

Garnish their wages?  I don't remember how this would work except this is where George Snuffy and Obama went off on each other--about how much of a TAX it is vs. NOT a tax...I think George was winning that one, though he wasn't too happy about it.

Well, let's see...If you have kids, and you don't provide them with health insurance, I guess they'd call that neglect, and whisk your kids off to some foster hell for "their own good".

Or, if it's just you, they'd fine you.  Guess what happens when you can't pay a fine?  Oh, yes...you go to the county farm, or worse, until the fine is paid off at a rate of $100/24 hour day.  When you get out, you are of course out of work and broke, so I guess you won't be affording insurance, and back you go.

And the band played on.

There's always more.  Laugh til it hurts.  Laugh til your guts bleed.  Laugh til the distressed people around you call the police.   Laugh til they slam the door shut and start talking about long-term treatment options.

Of course it's true.  Woe to that nation that uses its children as weapons against their parents.

I'm surprised Wackenhut's stock isn't going up.  After all, there is a big financial incentive in imprisoning people...from the cheap labour to the contracts for corporate sponsors.

Well, the Healthy Families Initiative in CA is for people below the $66K mark, so I'm thinking they'll be using something similar for kids federally.  I think that's what state programs are really hoping for, because a lot of these pediatric medical and educational programs are hitting the dust with the budget crises going on in every state capitol.
