Where to begin. There are so many, it it hard to organize.
- 1st and foremost, this sets the precident for the federal government to be able to impose a "tax" as a penalty for absolutely anything that they deem to be inappropriate behavior. No insurance? Tax. Don't drive a Prius? Tax. Don't eat 3 servings of vegetables a day? Tax. It is a huge overstep of federal power. Period. Of course people like you who are incapable of thinking for yourself see it as a good thing.
- It is a massive intrusion on state rights. This is the UNITED STATES. As in... the STATES' matter. This is also the reason that your "Romneycare" argument is so stupid. The difference between a state program and a federal program is night and day. There is no point in going into any more detail on this one. The chance of a liberal actually comprehending this is zero.
- Next come the employer mandates. Employers are required to offer health plans to all employees who work more than 30 hours per week, or pay a $2,000 per employee penalty to the government. We already have companies who cannot afford to hire new employees so what is the solution? Clearly, make them pay even more. Be prepared to either see the price of pretty much every single product in this country go up or see the companies fail even more than they already are. A full healthcare package for flipping burgers? Brilliant. What's funny is that the studies done show that most companies will come out far ahead by simply paying the fine. Yep. Brilliant plan.
- Higher insurance premiums for all of us. Look at any study done since the beginning of this dumbass argument. They all say the same thing. Healthcare prices go up. Most studies show increases of 8%-12% annually. Most also agree that the quality of care will go down. Paying more for worse care. Yay socialism!!
- Seniors will be the ones really hit hard by this law. Medicare benefits are reduced by over $500 billion. This dumbass law was passed under the guise of wanting to help everybody but in reality, it takes care and money from those who actually need it and have paid into it and gives it to the useless leeches that sit on their asses and do nothing. People like joecooool seem to be all for this. Screw what happens in reality, ideals are all that matter. If you can give money to the lazy pieces of crap who contribute zero, even better! Wealth distribution FTW!!
- How about adding anywhere between $10-$20 trillion in unfunded long term obligations to our already ridiculous economy and most estimates give somewhere now in the $2.5 trillion range in unfunded obligations in the first 10 years alone. How is it that liberals somehow lack the comprehension that most 6 year olds have in that you can't buy what you can't pay for??
- The grand finale? How about the largest tax legislation in the history of the United States. In addition to the mandate "tax" there are also 20+ other taxes included in this bill, most of which fall squarely on the shoulders of the average, healthy, hard working American.
There are more but honestly, I don't feel like wasting my time. The chance of any of the supporters of this crap actually having the brain power to comprehend any of it is zero.

A liberal who believes solely in what moron bloggers say telling someone else to stick to facts... now that's some funny shit.
By all means, feel free to let us know when you come up with an opinion of your own rather than just a copy/paste from some libtard blog.
