Thats only partially true. My younger brother was divorced, had full custody of four boys, got layed off, then got injured and had to go to the emergency room.  He couldnt pay and after about a year, the collection agencies came after him. He finally found a job making half what he used to and that salary is being garnished.

The husband of a woman that used to work for me had a similar story. They declared bankruptcy.   I know there are many other stories.

So I say thecurrent system of providing “free” health care sucks and needs to be fixed.  But Obamacare is notthe answer.  If you are happy with shitty way it is now, then why would you be unhappy with a better way.

 And for every bleeding heart sob story you post others (including me) can post stories where people without health insurance got medical attention and treatment.

 Health insurance and universal healthcare are two separate issues and should never be confused.

 Obamacare never actually had anything to do with providing healthcare to the poor.  That's a ruse.  Obamacare was about wealth redistribution, turning over 1/5th of the GDP to the federal government to control and those wonderful subsidies to the healthcare insurers.  It also encompassed many areas not even related to healthcare.  It was an all out power grab.

 The reason you see so many congressmen and senators not wanting to repeal Obamacare is they are beholden to the health insurers who want their subsidies.  Those subsidies have been bought and paid for (political donations) and your typical establishment politician is there to serve the donor class, not you.

 Obamacare was so wonderful and such a great deal it had to be written in secret and pushed through on a reconciliation to be passed.  Never forget the words of Nancy Pelosi.

And now the academics are chiming in with their special brand of ignorance:

I just wish the left would make up their mind.  Should an employee inject their beliefs into work or not.

Why is it OK for an NFL player for force his customers to endure his beliefs, but not ok for a baker?  To the Left, the difference is entirely about which one they personally agree with plus the fact that the Left doesn't actually want the country to become better.

But I did start my career in that office, and know the guys who are there, and unless they completely changed, I'm sure there was more to the story than what is being reported.

Can you give an example of why you would use a taser on an officer of the court and throw him to the ground?

This is interesting

One of my great regrets in life is not serving our country in the military.  When I graduated high school in 1976 there was such a backlash to Vietnam that I didn't even have to register for Selective Service.  I sent in a card, that's all.  Then when I graduated college in 1980, I applied for Naval Aviation, and was accepted.  I asked the recruiter what would happen if my eyes went bad or I washed out.  He said they would put me where they needed me.  I didn't like that answer, and went and got a Masters at the University of Pennsylvania instead because I wanted to control my destiny, not the government.  Now that I know I can fly a plane well, it may have been different.  I love my country or at least what it used to be.  I honor all those that served.  Thank you.

Very well said.  As a Navy brat in the late 1960s I saw Marines stretching their legs as troop ships refueled on Midway, and saw B52s leaving for points north on Guam.  Later, four years of Army ROTC, graduated high school in 1975.  Draft classification 1H.  Applied, but the Coast Guard academy didn't want me. (Missed it by -> <- that much.)  Went to college computer science, one more year of ROTC and decided it wasn't for me.  Guess it was the stories from the military science faculty.  I'm happy to support the military with my taxes.  Some regrets that I didn't have a military aviation career as I sit in my spam can, but total respect for all who serve.
