I wonder how many other people find it totally sketch and unconstitutional that the only way the health care bill was passed was by promising the senator from Nebraska that the residents of Nebraska don't have to pay anything for Medicaid and the rest of the country has to foot the $300 million dollar bill for this. ("the federal government will pay 100 percent of the cost of a planned Medicaid expansion in perpetuity, the only state getting that deal") Also sketch is that Montana, South Dakota, and North Dakota received similar "concessions" before they would give their votes to the bill but that no news sources are outlining what those concessions are (but I suppose even the liberal news reporters can't ignore the whole 49 states paying for 50 states worth of medical care thing). I'm also curious about how many people will be dropped from their employers' insurance when it costs an average of $9800 to insure a single employee under this new regime but the fine for not supplying insurance is only $750. You could NOT insure like 13 employees and pay the fine for the cost of what it would be to insure just one of them.
