Amish and Christian Scientist don't use emergency room care
The issue is that the healthcare bill states everyone has to buy health insurance, or pay the penalty. Doesn't matter if you use emergency room service or not.
Your Chicago MBA needs a jump start, it's dragging your reasoning down below your IQ, if that's possible. LOL
You'd be the first person crying about how unfair the system was if you weren't able to treat a broken head after a crash on your motorcycle..even though you didn't pay for insurance.
My motorcycle is the only reason I pay for health insurance, and I really don't have to do that.
If I want the government telling me I have to have whatever vaccinations that the left in cahoots with the pharmaceutical companies decide is the major pandemic this month I could go to fitzsimmons medical center because I am also a veteran, who is entitled to free healthcare.
This twiki alias isn't any brighter than your alternate. http://curezone.com/upload/Video/Fitzsimmons.jpg .
Oh, free health care for you? No wonder you don't want health care extended to others. As long as you get it, to hell with the rest of us.
Can somebody read my post to MBA twiki, and explain the words.
I pay my own insurance, and I didn't take the free schooling option that came with my being a veteran, or you and the other dumbocrats would have had to pay for it.
If MBA's are a smart as you what's the point of more schooling?
I could go to fitzsimmons medical center because I am also a veteran, who is entitled to free healthcare.
Is this not what you wrote?

Since you are having problems comprehending my message in it's entirety, I will try and help. I guess I shouldn't expect a Chicago MBA to understand without some help.
You, and you're sons would jump at the chance for [Free] at the expense of somebody else, but I prefer to pay for health insurance in the event I was involved in an accident on my motor cycle. Otherwise I am confident that my change in lifestyle, and alternative modalities that I wouldn't need to buy health insurance. Anything government run [especially nowdays] is of no interest to me. The reason is explained in the second paragraph below.

Your health care is not free as you stated above. I am the one paying for it - my taxes. You, however, don't pay anything for my healthcare or anyone else in my family. Because we don't get taxpayer funded health care. We pay for our own,
Ummm, I think you might want to read that Snopes link - which maintains that Muslims would mostly likely NOT be exempted and cites the reasons and historical precedent explaining why not.
Other groups who, unlike Muslims, have refused benefits such as Social Security and qualify under the guidelines would likely be exempted. For example, the Anabaptist groups (Amish, Mennonites, etc.).
There is much to be disliked about the unconstitutional insurance legislation, but not exempting Muslime and, as far as I am concerned, I have no problem with it exempting folks like the Amish who have a system and history of taking care of their own and who have refused Social Security benefits.
Before all is said and done, I expect to see some interesting challenges to the insurance program - unless the people get fed up with all the unconstitutional codes and laws that have been placed on us first.
And here is another thought - if an unconstitutionally qualified president signed the bill (or any other bill) into law, it is by definition not constitutional and unenforceable.
I have no problem with it exempting folks like the Amish who have a system and history of taking care of their own and who have refused Social Security benefits.
I Have a problem with the mandate as a constitutional issue. After that a mandate is a mandate that should include all persons if it's going to be law.
Why does somebody have to be in a certain religion, or any religion for that matter?
Can't remember the number, but there was a lot of folks that didn't buy insurance before this bill for one reason or another. Why should they not be exempt just like the religious.
The only reason there is a mandate in the first place is because there are a lot of illegals that NoBama wants to have covered . His plan is to give amnesty, and all the goodies the left can give them for their votes. He as well as the other dimwits who are on their way out need this mandate to pay for the medical these people will need which is only one of the perks they get for their vote.
As far as the Amish not collecting SS, they don't put anything into it.
We both agree that the mandate is unconstitutional, I was just pointing out that as written the Amish would be exempt the same as they are exempt from paying into social security when they are self-employed. The SS exemption is one of the qualifiers for the health mandate exemption, which Muslims do not appear to qualify for.
When it comes to the poor and underprivileged, they are pretty much screwed no matter which party is in power. The neocon group that controls the Republicans wants to use the poor for cheap labor and many of them are open to amnesty as well as lax about border security for the same reason. They make lots of hay out of cutting welfare payments yet depend on corporate welfare to reap their own ill gotten gains.
The democrats, on the other hand, give lip service to lifting up the poor but in reality give them handouts that keep them shackled in poverty and beholden to the dems for the handouts they don't realize are keeping them down.
Most democrat politicians in Washington and a very large number of republicans could give a rats arse about upholding the constitution, nor do many of them put our interests above those of the special interests they are controlled by and beholden to. ALL such pols need to get the boot! And so does the phoney baloney two party system that just plays smoke and mirror word games to keep us blindfolded and in the box.
If you really want to get constitutional about it, and I do, the federal government has no right to tax our labor, no right to tell me how to educate my children, no right nor responsibility to tell me how I choose to address my private health care issues, and no right nor responsibility to provide cradle to grave housing, food, or health care either.
After all, this is why there is a mandate in the first place.
No twiki, the mandate was to pay for your two sons that won't have to pay, but will get free insurance until they are twenty six, even though they have a college education and can get a job.
You have a business, you could hire them saving somebody else from having to pick up the tab.
Socialists like you call it spreading the wealth around.
Is it any wonder you're all for it?
Your humanitarian side is showing, Tiki. Perhaps one more explanation for the avatar photo . . .
The mandate most certainly was NOT put in place because of the uninsured people who are being treated in ER's and by EMT personnel.
Emergency treatment and safety nets are one thing and mandates that unconsitutionally force me to buy a produce I don't want are another. If you want to pay into a system that provides full coverage for people who refuse to accept responsibility for their unhealthy choices, such as lying on the sofa watching the idiot tube all day whilst stuffing their faces with junk food to the point that they have to ride the motorized carts at Wally World (and look what is in those baskets!) because their legs aren't strong enough to support their fat arses, with no incentives to live healthier or disincentives to keep from continuing to live unhealthily that is fine. Just don't try to force me to do it.
Where have I ever said ALL people with illness and disabilities eat junk food or watch TV all day? What I have said is that doing so is decidedly unhealthy. If those you know who fail to get physical activity and also eat a predominately junk food and SADs diet keep on doing so, there will very likely be a price to pay down the road - and I don't think it is a price I or anyone else should have to pay for them.
My idea of a good health program would be one where we remove the unconstitutional clutches of Big Medicine and Big Pharma, teach and encourage proper diet and nutrition, tell the truth about natural and alternative healing and, rather than suppressing such healing and covering only unnatural man-created compounds which kill over 100,000 people and hospitalize millions each year from side effects, instead cover all forms of healing not proven to be specifically harmful.
If we and our doctors looked to nature first and not only counseled, but required, patients to incorporate healthy diets and lifestyles, this country's medical costs would be slashed to a fraction. Mainstream drugs would have to decrease in price if they faced natural competition instead of let the system serve as a protection racket for them.
Instead of ME having to take responsibility for other's poor health decisions, they should have to do so. If it were up to me, I would have every doctor' or other health practioner include a basic diet and lifestyle evaluation for each patient and then give each patient who has areas of neglect and ommision a program for correcting them. There should be incentives for those patients who choose to take the steps needed to live more healthily and disincentives for those who are able to do so but refuse. That would encourage and enable people to take responsibility for their health the same as they should do for all areas of life, instead of encouraging poor health habits, selling us out to special interests, propping up the medical and insurance industries, and having us live as controlled children in a nanny state.
I think I already my part with literally hundreds of articles and thousands of posts across the internet which extoll the values of proper diet and exercise and the benefits of healing and preventive vitamins, minerals, foods and herbs. By my words and my actions, I have encouraged others to take responsibility for their own health, tried to show them ways to do so, and have discouraged any system that supports bad health habits. How 'bout you?
