Okay. Here's where a lot of people seem to be at: "What? Money to create jobs? What? Mandates to HAVE to have to have health insurance? We can't afford that!"
Really? but we can afford for the richest to continue to get tax cuts? We can afford for millions of dollars in fossil fuel subsidized from OUR taxes to be gift wrapped for oil companies? Let's see...take way millions per day in subsidies...cut out tax loops...outlaw Citizen's United (to shut up big money)...hmmmm... but, we can't have this! Nor can we have the government stimulate the economy for the purposes of infrastructure repairs and other projects people are skilled, able and willing to do because you see then there would money for people to SPEND and TAXES TO COLLECT (on all but the rich, of course!) Mandate for health services? Why? So that with a wider pool insurance companies (yes, those awful people with the black hats) could actually cover more people as well as preexisting conditions.
I know, I know helping that section of the health industry that condemns so many and arbitrarily find ways to, well, hurt people and not help them?
Be we must also be pragmatists and economic is economics. So for the many who think all this stuff is "socialization"
guess what? If it's PAID FOR, IT IS NOT! How about THEM apples?
Now we only to decide what tree these apples fall from...the good tree or the bad one...
