Democrats Won’t Discuss Collateral Economic Damage Health Care bill Will Cause Americans

by Martin Rainer Friday, Nov. 27, 2009 at 8:01 PM

Americans that can’t afford health insurance or pay opt-out penalties, the IRS shall pursue and may file liens destroying their credit.

Why won't Democrats discuss the collateral economic damage the current Health Care bill will cause Americans?

After the current Health Bill Passes, million of Americans will be awaken to the fact the costs of forced health insurance has disqualified them getting a home mortgage. For many, Forced Health Insurance Costs could equal their paid Income Tax. Homeowners will find it impossible to pay both their forced health insurance and mortgage. Americans that can’t afford health insurance or pay opt-out penalties, the IRS shall pursue and may file liens destroying their credit. Families that can’t afford forced health insurance and are deemed not poor by government for subsidized insurance, may have to sell their homes or borrow money to purchase health insurance or pay Opt-Out penalties with money needed for medical expenses.

Obama’s burdensome taxes and costs of force health insurance will force down home values as home buyers increasingly qualify for smaller mortgages: Further decline in home values could destabilize U.S. banks dependent on home values to secure trillions in outstanding mortgages. Historically, declining home values cause job loss in related real estate industries, e.g. construction and manufacturing.

so what

A lot of people have derided the mandate, but, I think it's a reasonable compromise. Any kind of universal system will have to force everyone to pay in, in order that everyone may get something out.

In the legislation, insurance companies are being forced to treat sick patients (what a concept) and not dropping them or denying them coverage.

So what if someone can't make the mortgage? Sell the house, or foreclose on it, and get an apartment. The market's soft.

yes we understand

by bunko Sunday, Nov. 29, 2009 at 5:40 AM

oh yeah, we really want to support the health insurance corporations at gunpoint. Who believe more in a bottom line and bonuses before the health of the 'customer'.

For a sold out congress under the pay of these same insurance companies. Right.
