In reply to Re: Welcome USA To Socialism Healthcare Bill Passed » Phillipa, posted by novelagent on June 28, 2012, at 13:29:10
I always suspect the ones who claim they're opposed to the healthcare mandate either qualifies for medicaid (Republican states tend to be the most uninsured, due to poverty rates) or have health insurance, and are acting as if the mandate would somehow affect them.
I wish reporters actually asked people who oppose this bill, "but um, do you yourself have health insurance, or are you just manufacturing outrage even though this law doesn't affect you?" Only it would affect them, since I have to pay for Phillipa's healthcare when he goes to the ER room uninsured... assuming he's unisured.
If someone's taking psych meds, I have difficulty believing it's less expensive to pay out of pocket for a psychiatrist and psych meds than to just get insurance.
