I'm just pissed that we could of made a bill that would be better for the government and American people but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
1. Get taxed
2. get taxed for four years hoping our Government doesn't spend this money?
3. still have to purchase health care in 4 years, Either Obama care or private health care.
4. if you cant afford either? well you get a fine in the mail from your government!
YEAH, sounds fair.

So you're not a big fan of the Canadian healthcare system?
According to the quote above from Flip, if you can't afford it, you'll be subsidized.

To make insurance more affordable, the legislation offers federal subsidies for lower and middle-class Americans.

I suppose how much this subsidy really entails is unknown.
But I can see the frustration with this type of Universal health care. Getting a GP nowadays is hard enough and getting a referral to a specialist is even worse. I have a family member with a bad skin disorder and the referral to see a specialist was over half a year. While this wasn't life or death, she had the most itchy skin every day and made me felt sick to my stomach. Good thing I have a lot of doctors in my family or man...
Said that, I think it's better that everyone has access to healthcare, and your wallet doesn't determine whether you get treatment.
