HCR Will Not Just Force 40 Million People to Buy Insurance

[SpartanDem]

I have seen this notion thrown out quite a bit, but it's just not based on reality. The CBO estimates the House bill will insure 36 million more Americans, I think people are forgetting that this number includes people who will get their health coverage through the government, Medicaid will be opened to everyone up to 150% of poverty level CBO estimated that 15 million will be insured is way. They say 6 million will choose the public option meaning that 21 million Americans, almost 60% of those effected by this bill, will get their insurance from the government.

1. Only Hannity the F$$$er thinks that way, what a dumb

HANNITY: Harry Reid comes out today, says government option with the states’ ability to opt-out and it will include a co-op.

MORRIS: Opt-out if the Feds feel that they have successfully offered an alternative. The feds can say, no Alabama you’re not doing enough...

HANNITY: So it’s not really an opt-out anyway?

MORRIS: It’s not really an opt-out.

HANNITY: And it’s not an individual — an individual can’t opt out.

MORRIS: Exactly.

HANNITY: It’s the state that has to opt-out.
