Any of you upset over your healthcare law?

The elected boys aren't in a conspiracy to drag us all down, they are just responding to their constituents - which is typically highlighted by the biggest contributors to thier campaign fund. Sometimes what they pass has been good for me, but typically, and the more I make, the more I'm on the side of giving my income to those that either cant or wont work.

I liked the idea of us all quitting our jobs. Kinda brings a smile to my face to imagine the outcome of that. But reality is that there is never solidarity, 'cause people are more interested in protecting themselves as opposed to the overall good.


Finnster - thanks for that last post. Well stated.

Thanks JThiessen, it may be because I've seen more of health services (through friends & family needs) than a lot of people?

Personally, I'd prefer the money I pay in HC insurance were tipped directly into the government run free system so that everyone received the benefit. Australia needs more hospital beds, nurses, doctors etc...happy to contribute to that

Mind you, I'd also pay the emergency services more. They're underpaid in my view & for the most part do an excellent job...making the job more financially attractive would typically widen the candidate pool giving a better net result for the end user
