re: #327 Diego

Again, I see no control. I see lots of options.

I have not seen how a public insurance option will ‘conrtol my day-to-day life’, as you claimed.

Evidently I was talking about your day-to-day health care, which you realized. I would imagine that you understood that I was not inferring
that the government would be telling you how to pee and when to change your undies.

Of course you can have coverage that is not considered adequate, but you will pay 2.5 percent of adjusted gross income as a penalty. If you don’t find the fact that the feds will be deciding what is adequate for the whole health industry, for you, for me, for anyone who wants a health care policy, private or otherwise, than I have a few old socialist for you to talk to.

See… Fact Check…

Claim: Page 167: Any individual who doesn’t have acceptable health care (according to the government) will be taxed 2.5% of income.

True. This is the mechanism in the bill to enforce the individual mandate requiring everyone to have insurance. A person who doesn’t have insurance that meets minimum benefit standards (or other acceptable coverage, such as a plan that was grandfathered in) would pay a penalty of 2.5 percent of modified adjusted gross income for the year. The total penalty can’t exceed a national average premium for individual coverage, or family coverage if applicable.

And if you want me to start posting all the DETAILS from the proposed bill, I will.

An aside. Have you read it?
