Tough titty, Floridians.

Prime example of a badly written law. Maybe if they had not rammed through
an unread law at the last minute, the law might actually work.

And it only took two or three years to straighten out Medicare problems
when it was introduced...

They have been screwing with Medicare since it started, trying to get
the kinks out but the big problem now is how we pay for it. The same
will be true of ACA, just much sooner.

Good. It'll help us transition to national health care like all the big
countries

Be prepared for very regressive taxes when that happens. How do you think
those countries in Europe pay for that healthcare? One way is large
consumer taxes. Over a buck a gallon on gasoline 10 years ago. Not income
tax, but that old regressive tax that goes across all the populace. Canada
has an 18% VAT tax. Everybody who spends money, pays. Actually I think
that is very good. Gets rid of a lot of freeloading.
