Another appeals court upholds Obama health-care law

Massachusetts has a health insurance mandate. HmHmHm now who was it that pushed through that legislation? Oh yes, now I remember, It was MITT ROMNEY!!!

Amendment 28; no member of congress will be exempt from and law passed for the individuals of usa.

if we got to buy it ...then congress and the president has to buy it also...

I agree with the Amendment 28 comment......if Congress is forced to participate in Social Security (just like the rest of us), THAT is when these programs will be fixed !!

Now that the Census office will nolonger compile data for the "Statistical Abstract for the United States', or "Abstract", Nobody will be able to honestly debate the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of government programs, expenses or staistical research.

The data has been compiled annually since 1878. It WAS the single most quoted reference for government agencies, educational institutions and political parties to prove or disprove public programs merrits, failures and probability of success.

So, does it really matter anymore? We will nolonger be able to compare what they say to what really is, was or will be the truth.

Send a bit che note to your Senators, Congressmen and poolitical hacks to reinstate the compilation of the Abstract by the Census office.

Hmmmmmm Funny thing....all Politicians get theres for FREE....Yes you heard me FREE!!!! Criminals I Say!!!!!!

An operation on a cat to remove a cyst costs about $100 or less at a Vet. The same operation on a human costs about $20,000. I'm asking why?

Who is paying for health care now? We all are. It's baked into the price of everything we buy. We need to take the greed and corruption out of the health care system, end of story.

and when the states and citizens do not agree then what?

Ok, so why don't we just go back to paying for healthcare out of our own pockets as needed, like we used to? Before health insurance became a "necessity", Before hospitals decided that humane non-profit no longer served the "common good", and Before large pharmaceutical companies decided that it would be more profitable to 'lobby" Doctors and use tv/internet commercials to "lobby" the public.
THE PRICE OF HEALTHCARE IS DUE TO A CULMINATION OF ALL THESE ENTITIES VYING FOR THEIR SHARE OF THE POT OR......GREED

Amen Gfw.People wait until they're sick and end up in the emergnecy room.No insurance,no problem.We'll just add it in on to the people who do have insurance and their premiums will continue to go up.Trust me, as a cancer survivor it's a good thing to be insured,but it is a better thing to be insured and get regular checkups.Please,take advantage of this opportunity!

Why Did CONGRESS EXEMPT THEMSELVES???????

Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged (1957) "When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion -- when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see money flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed."

Is the government going to insure the people that they won't be ripped off by big insurance companies? Will the rates paid for coverage be set by the government? Or will the big companies lick their chops and say we have you now.. It's like utopian communism, sounds real good on paper, but is a complete failure in practice.

"Live short and don't prosper".

It never ceases to amaze me how judges can be elected and/or appointed that have never bothered to read the document that they swear to uphold--the CONSTITUTION. The last time that I was in court (divorce) the acting judge told me that he did not give a damn about my rights. He has since been thrown off the bench and dis-barred--thankfully. It just shows how partisan and prejudicial our legal system has become. Even the U.S. Supreme Court can be purchased.

So if the Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case, why do these lower courts continue to hear the cases if not to just have their little say in the matter? It would seem like their opinion is no longer relevant unless they are trying to sway the final decision.

Anything medical related. Insurance, doctors offices......all are fraud no matter if private or government runs it. I know. I am fighting that battle now between insurance not wanting to pay claims and doctors sending the bill to me, etc. I've had to be brutal verbally with these people, at least they dread it when I call and I have even told them what a fraud they all are and my doctor's office they would be fired from my services when I get it all squared away and get back to work. All this due to having several seizures back last winter and early spring.

The US spends nearly twice as much on healthcare than the next highest country. And that is just what the government spends. Individuals also spend more than twice as much as the next highest country. All in all, US healthcare costs around five times as much per capita as Canada, Europe, Japan, etc when you include private and public expenditures. And for that 5x cost, it is not even close to on par with other western nations. Admittedly, the super-rich do get better healthcare here than pretty much anywhere in the world. There needs to be a two tier system. Everybody gets free or nearly free healthcare. The rich can get the cream of the crop specialists on their own dime. Just like everybody gets roads, those who pay take toll roads. Everybody gets a $0.44 stamp, the rich can send a letter fedex next flight out for $70. Everybody gets police, the rich can hire private security firms.

what happen to freedom of choice....
