^I feel your pain other guy. Most people can't see the forrest for the trees when it comes to things like entitlements and ObamaCare. When I was 12 years old, we used to have what I like to think of as glorious summer vacations. Riding bikes, going to the city pool, playing baseball and ball tag, it was a time of wonderment. Ultra low crime rates ruled the day across the land and kids weren't threatened by drive by shootings and drug pushers. But, to my point, the highlight of my summer day was when we all rode down to the drug store soda bar and had a frosty mug of rootbeer. The owner graciously allowed us to peruse comic books that were for sale there, as we slurped down 5 cents worth of the brew. We passed a portion of every hot afternoon in that way. Therefore, a nickle was precious to me. I knew to hit the man cave with the guys, I would need one. No nickle, no rootbeer and comics.

The Obama administration and all the Keynesian Kooks never learned that simple lesson. To them it's a fundamental human right to just show up at the soda bar and get your rootbeer. If you can't pay for it, then that responsibility is merely passed on to the rest of the guys. Same thing with this idea of health care. It is not a fundamental human right to have health insurance. No nickle, no insurance. This nation, out of compassion, has always figured out a way to give health care to the indigent. This is not about compassion as the liberals would have us to believe. It's about a social reckoning dreamed up by la-la libeals, using the power of the federal government to force working folks to pay for the health care of people who lack the force of character to go out and earn their way through life. And it isn't just that we will pay for their care, we will have to let them get in line in front of us. No more embarrasing cattle call visits to the ER for the precious poor anymore. They have been elevated to near sainthood by the liberal loons. And the irony or all this is that the dems ran on this madness and the people voted for it, while the conservatives lolled away the day thinking everything will turn out alright. Hello! wake up, things are not alright, it's time to vote these goofs out of office.

How long can a man who makes $2,200 dollars a month pay a $972 dollar a month insurance premium? The answer is not very long at all. Like you, the cost of my insurance has skyrocketed. Working people of every stripe are literally staring down the gunbarrel at the very real and imminent possibility of losing their homes as the direct result of the passage of the ACA. I can tell you this, 9 out of every 10 homeowners, with a family of four will not be able to pay the CBO projected $16 thousand dollar a year in healthcare premium scheduled to kick in by 2014. I expect premiums to escalate towards that number during the next four years, so it's not like we will be insulated from the fiscal mayhem until then either. That $16 thousand dollar number (bronze level coverage) covers only 60% of one's health expenses at the doctor or hopital, that means you will still have to come up with 40% of the bill out of your pocket. Now folks, I don't know about you but, according to my calculations, that represents an impossible burden on middle class Americans. Nobody will be able to add $20,000 dollars a year to their household budgets. And, that number is for the young and healthy. Any real health care costs will be devastating. And, for the record, your indigent brethern, will not pay a dime, no premium, no deductable and no co-pay, zilch.

Soon, those of us being forced by Obama and the liberals to pay for those who have chosen to conscienciously object to getting out to work for their livelihood, will be have to choose from among our home and food, or fines and healthcare. This administration are amatures and don't understand fundamental economics. Obama has had everything handed to him so he's clueless. Electing a Kenyan president who never had to work and live within a budget will take a terrible toll on the folks of this country. Even little kids can grasp the concept of fiscal responsibility at a rootbeer stand during summer vacations. The only way out of this nightmare is to vote out liberals at the polls. That means every last conservatively minded American must show up in force to meet the welfare challenge at the voting booth. Look at it like this. If an identity thief got your bank account number and began to take a couple thousand dollars out of your account every month, would you take action to stop it, or would you be so lazy and passive you couldn't make yourself do anything about it? Obama has your bank account number, Americans can stop it in the mid terms of 2014.
