So what do these three (seemingly disparate) groups have in common:
■ People in prison
■ People living below the poverty line
■ Illegal immigrants
Give up?
"In just 14 months, Americans will be required to prove that they have federally "qualified" health insurance or face an [ObamaTax] of $695 to $2,085"
Well, most Americans. The folks comprising the three groups listed above are exempt (Sorry, Mags). And when taken as a whole, they represent over 16% of the people who live here.
They have something else in common, as well: they're the folks who, directly or indirectly, gave us the ObamaTax.
How's that, Henry?
It's pretty simple, really: the #1 selling point of the train-wreck was that some 15% or so of us were uninsured for health care. Folks in jail have no need of insurance, since their care's on us. The poor already had a myriad of social safety nets in place (eg Medicaid, SCHIP, etc). And illegals get de facto free health care.
Take out these three groups, and you're left with a handful of Americans who were uninsured (and/or uninsurable), a problem easily fixed without upending 1/5 of our economy and forcing us into nationalized health care.
Gee, thanks bunches.
