I can't take credit for this but it's funny because it's outlandish but true.  However, I hope the humor does not mask the significant and underlying problem with the actual legislation and its significant unintended negative consequences.  Did you know that already the legislation has caused a primary health policy on a minor to go from under $100 per month to over $500 per month for worse coverage? 

The reason:  Minors must be accepted by an insurance company.  Sounds good on the surface, right? However, now insurance companies will only write actuarily-sound guaranteed-issue (i.e. expenseive) policies that provide less coverage OR they won't write a primary policy on a minor.  I can hear the accusations from the left, already, that the insurance companies are just trying to rip people off.  The reality is that if insurance companies don't receive an actuarily sound premium, the companies go bankrupt.  (Perhaps that IS the intended consequence of the administration.)


This is a direct result of the new legislation.  This is serious stuff, and while the following makes light of the circumstance, we will not be laughing in a couple years.  Instead, we'll be looking back and saying, "How did this happen?  Why did we think this was a good idea?"  Unfortunately, like EVERY preceding Government program/expansion/intrusion, our legislators will promise they can fix it with an expanded program because now "they know" what went wrong.  Of course, the new solution has new, unintended consequences.  I hope we don't fall for this bogus logic.  Now is the time to stand up and reverse this madness.  Soon, it will be much more difficult to reverse and probably won't happen.

90% of the health care problem has been caused by government intrusion in health care with tax incentives for group plans, health plan mandates, class-action law and the lack of loser pays legislation, and Medicare and Medicaid.  The solution has always been and still is THE FREE MARKET.  Competition creates innovation and efficiency which drives better care at lower costs.  What little free market we still have in the US is what has provided our citizens the highest quality of care in the world.  It is the reason people come here from other places.  We need more Freedom not more government.

Stop the madness!

Let me get this straight . . . . We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!! 'What the hell could possibly go wrong?'
