Is Obamacare Socialist?

America used to be a great nation!
I guess we are really close to the end!

Kinda like this!

Not me. I'll keep my private insurance until I cannot afford it and it puts me out of business (literally) and after that, I'll pay the penalty like a good law abiding citizen. Or maybe I won't, they cannot jail you for not paying it. But I will never take accept government check or participate in government run health care. If I cannot pay my way at that point, I will die with a clear conscience of whatever ailment I've developed.

Totally agree - for myself. I'm not going to be around that much longer anyway. Trouble is I have children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. It is them I'm concerned about. Not myself. We might possibly get away with it. But will the Medical Police let them? Like you I pray something will happen that will let us stop it. Hope for the best and plan for the worst I guess.

Not a single one of us will get out of the world alive. How and when you die are relatively unimportant. What counts is how you live. I refuse to live in fear.

Very true. But, then there _IS_ Elvis (assuming he's actually dead)
