It'll take time, but you will see this is only going to hurt the ones that are already struggling (Working Middle Class).

I was watching the "Today" show this morning & the reporter stated that while there will be a penalty for not having insurance...there was no penalty for not paying the penalty. Did anyone else hear this? If this is true...what was the point?

It is communism in its purest form next they will take over food and housing and that will about wrap up Obamies Dictatorship

and the foolish american citizens with blinders on are letting him do it

remember what happened to phone service when they broke up ma bell , it went to heck in a hand basket , so will your insurance and rates are going to skyrocket like a missile and have poor poor coverage for anything
