The New Health Care Act “Won’t Cost You A Dime.” Barack Obama

I have received notice from our health care insurance company that our monthly premium will double on January first.

I talked to the lab technician at the clinic where we go for medical care about his health care costs. In the past he had no additional premium to pay above and beyond his salary at the health clinic—he only had very nominal co-payments for every health care service he needed. Beginning on January 1^st he has to pay $500/month for his own and his family’s health care coverage.

This new health care called the Affordable Care Act was evidently supported by a majority of very foolish Americans. They were under the impression that it would be possible to pay for health care insurance for 45 million uninsured citizens without costing anyone anything! Well…there’s a fool born every minute, as the saying goes.

But now that the law goes into effect, we can rest assured that the 45 million Americans who don’t need and don’t want health insurance have that insurance—whether they want it or not.
