- Fining people for not having health insurance. WTF?!? I'm sorry, but for the self-employed to have to afford policies on their own when they're BARELY making ends meet... this is going to bankrupt many individuals. That's STUPID.
THANK YOU for providing a balanced commentary on this issue. I'm scared to death about how much we'll have to shell out for health insurance. I was in tears last night because I'm so worried about how this will impact our family. Right now, we are able to save and put money away for our daughter's future, but if we have to add a bill of several hundred dollars a month, all that's going out the window.
I understand that UHC raises taxes, but that would spread the bill so much more evenly amongst EVERYONE. With this plan, the burden is going mainly on the shoulders of people who can't handle it. I would LOVE to see a *real* health care plan that doesn't punish enterprising citizens.
