The Health Care Bill Will Not Put People In Jail for Not Having Health Insurance

Michigan Republican Congressman Dave Camp: "Americans could face five years in jail if they don't comply with the bill's demands to buy approved health insurance."

Not true. The bill requires people to obtain insurance or, with some hardship exceptions, pay a fine. No one is being jailed for being uninsured. People who intentionally evade paying the fine could, in theory, be prosecuted -- just like others who cheat on their taxes.

In theory?!?!? Unemployment at over 10%. How will people pay theses fines?!? THEY WILL PAY OR BE PUT IN JAIL AND THE LIBS CONTINUE TO SAY IT WON'T HAPPEN!! GREAT JOB CJP!! WAY TO STICK UP FOR YOUR FELLOW AMERICANS!!

CJP said...

When the first person gets put in jail over this, you might have a point. Until that ever happens, HOTR, you're talking fiction and scare tactics.

hispanicontheright said...

It's in the bill passed by the house. Why is that?

CJP said...

The major penalty in that bill is fines. The fines are there to make sure that everyone gets health coverage, to relieve the current strain on our health care system caused by treating so many uninsured persons.

hispanicontheright said...

Hey genius....What happens when you can't pay the fine??

Please answer WHY IS IT IN THE BILL?!?

hispanicontheright said...

ANSWER: BECAUSE AT SOME POINT YOU WILL NEED TO PAY YOUR DEBT TO SOCIETY AND THAT CAN INCLUDE GOING TO JAIL!!

hispanicontheright said...

HEY CJP. IT LOOKS MORE AND MORE LIKE POOR PEOPLE WILL GO TO JAIL BECAUSE THEY WON'T BUY HEALTH INSURANCE. KEEP BLINDLY FOLLOWING YOUR DEM POLITICIANS. THERE THE ONES THAT WILL BE LOCKING POOR PEOPLE UP. BOY YOUR LOYALTY TO THE DEMS IS FUCKED UP!!

Prediction:
CJP will start to rationalize putting people in jail because information is starting to be revealed that this will happen under the DEMOCRAT health care bill. Once CJP gets the dem talking points he will stop thinking on his own and jump right in line.
Remember I said that people.
The rationalizations are coming.

Does anyone else think that the very people who voted for Obama are the ones who will go to jail?? If it wasn't so scary the irony would be hilarious.

Casey said...

Am I the only one that listened to Polosi say on TV that yes, there would be a possible jail term for people that did not have healthcare. I watched her lips move as she was saying it! Great job. Love the bill, but then again, it was never posted for all to read as we were promised by Obama when running for President! Another broken promise!

CJP said...

Well, boys, the health care bill will pass.

But please keep doing the insurance companies' job for them. They love you -- spreading all this nonsense so they can keep churning out fat profits.

You're the insurance companies' best friends, fellas. Keep spreading their fear tactics and phony propaganda.

If the insurance companies somehow succeed in defeating health care reform, I'm sure they will be very grateful to you for doing their job for them. Of course, they will show their gratitude to you. But --don't hold your breath.

You guys are pawns who get spit out and discarded by the big guys once they don't need you anymore.

However, in this case, you're lucky. You're going to lose the health care battle and your skins will be saved even though you're using your very best efforts to destroy yourselves.

CJP said...

I don't follow the Dems, HOTR. The Dems are following me. Believe me, HOTR, I'm way out in front of the Dems. They're echoing what I'm saying -- not the other way around.

Yes, throw those dam poor minorities in jail when they can't pay for coverage!! The elites will continue to pay for their coverage and us poor minorities will get health care in jail!! Thanks Pelosi and Obama!!

CJP said...

If you're sent to jail for not paying your heath insurance premiums, HOTR, I promise to write to you every day.

I'll even bake you a cake with a saw and a file in it.

How's that for an offer you can't refuse?

CJP

Casey said...

Oh no---the Senate and Congress get GREAT healthcare. They won't be on the same plan as the rest of us peons! Just like they don't go to jail even when they don't pay their taxes.
CJP you are right about one thing---the Dems do follow you. You aren't a Dem, you are a Progressive and that is what is happening to BOTH parties

CJP said...

Thank you, Casey. I'm glad you see that I am a Progressive and a Liberal, and that I am way out in front of the Democratic Party waiting for them to catch up.

I never said Obama lied, HOTR. I'm just waiting for his liberalism to catch up to mine.

Casey said...

Yikes, CJP. A Progressive is not such a good thing. Have you done much reading on the Progressive party? Woodrow Wilson was a progressive and he was just this side of being a monster!

No, but you know that he misled. You said you were ok with it. Blind loyalty. So now you think us republicans are bad because we won't jump on board his health care plan. Maybe if he didn't have such a habit of misleading us we would be more open. You see CJP, we don't want our politicians misleading us.

I'm not talking about Woodrow Wilson's Progressive Party -- or Teddy Roosevelt's. (TR ran for President on the Progressive Party in 1912 -- which split the Republican vote and caused Wilson to get elected).

I'm not aware that Wilson was any kind of monster. What makes you say that?

Casey said...

Simple fact: He was a strong proponent of eugenics, even signing a forced sterization act. He was a racist, and he put more people in prison for speaking out against the government and it's policies than we had ever before seen in this country. Just to name a few...
