Dems frame: corporate health insurance is the REAL massive tax on sick people....

reviewing all the comments on the court decision and responses, it seems to me that the decision was based on government right to have a "tax" for health care. Repub response seems to be aimed at this "tax" as a huge burden.

It seems to me that the private corporate parasite insurance industry is the true and real MASSIVE tax on the public and this issue needs to be framed in this way. Health Insurance execs make millions and fly around in their private jets while we all sit at home sick because we cannot afford a doctor. If that profit is NOT a tax I don't know what is.

IMO every time a dem opens his/her mouth on this issue out should come the phrase "The republicans have a health care plan, it's called get sick or die". Just sayin'

the best healthcare insurance i have ever had in my life and my ss check arrives at my bank every second wednesday of the month.

the corporate insurance industry processes my medicare payments.

my wife figured she would save at least 50% of her contribution for her employer supplied insurance policy. it would probably save her company even more because they would`t be rated for "risk"
