It is to bad these people are misguided. The main ones that the new health care helps is the small business owner and the middle class that already have insurance. There is no way with the large amount of baby boomers retiring that we could afford Medicare without it. The new health care also makes us more competitive in US exports by balancing the cost of health insurance accross all age groups. It also gives tax breaks to middle class americans that have children over 18 that could be toughing it out in college by including there child on there policy they could be paying for health insurance with net dollars.

Healthcare is NOT an individual decision unless you are wearing a big "do not resuscitate" sign around your neck when you fall over. If not they are going to rush you off to a hospital and try to save you, which for the uninsured results in driving up the cost of everybody else's insurance.

This law is one of the only smart things our government has done in a long time.

So now you don't want to pay extra momny while you are supporting Stott Walker to take money from another group of people.

Just like Religion shouldn't be in government, either, Ms. Kubena.....and the only way government is involved with YOUR healthcare, is to help intervene when you don't have any. My guess is that isn't what Fox news is sharing, hmmm?

This article paints a pretty rational portrait of Kim Kubena. Look her up on FB.

Obama lied when he said "this was not a tax".
Kim will be proven right.

The fact that Obama Care "penalty" is now a TAX, has placed the decision whether or not to repeal it, firmly in the hands of the American people. There is an opportunity to repeal the entire monstrosity.

The only ones that have to pay this tax are the ones that choose to and can afford to because they have chosen not to carry health insurance. Even many low income people in Wisconsin have to make contributions to there health care in the form of monthly payments on badgercare plus. The new law is equal to cigarette and alcohol taxes, they have costs to society and those cost are paid through taxation on those that choose to live in that style.

Forced to buy insurance, but not forced to prove idenity when voting....stunning.

The millions who don't have and don't want health care insurance should now rise up and voice their fury over this unconstitional abrogation of citizens' rights. Maybe, if enough of them SPEAK UP, the Pretender will resign or refuse to run for a guaranteed humiliating defeat reelection. If he does not bow out, it is the duty of everyone who is adversely affected by it to vote against this socialist moron and all of his cronies.

David are you saying these people that do not want health insurance do not want health care. I think not and if they don't step up and pay something towards there health care there will not be any health care available to them. The large retiring group of baby boomers will stress the system and it will crash.

Lynne, I do not see how the one relates to the other. Stop making this about a party line, but make it about the American people that are supporting the system by paying taxes and insurance.

People are out there who don't want or need health insurance? They might not need it now, but what happens when they get sick or hurt. I personally don't need auto insurance. I'm not planning on getting into an accident. This may sound silly to you, but sounds about the same to me.
If people don't want dental insurance that is fine. Let their teeth fall out. If people don't want health insurance people aren't just going to let them die. They'll just get covered by people who are actually responsible.
Buying insurance across state lines. Hey this might actually save us some money and how about those refund checks? Some insurance companies had to issue refund checks to the insured because they were over charged (and forced to refund under these laws.)
