My plan for the so-called finalized version of the HCR - if I'm paying too much premium

[Hawkeye-X]

then I will be sending all my doctor's, hospital's, and other medical-related bills to the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Congress, and request that they pay for it. They need to learn and understand that not all Americans can afford this bill.

1. You're assuming they're going to leave us to pay the entire premium cost.

All federal employees already have two thirds of their premiums subsidized by the government (many private businesses that provide insurance for their employees do the same).

If there's an income-based subsidy, this program could well be affordable.

2. If the income limits are somehow connected to reality

as a rule, programs that have income based subsidies are out of touch with the real world. - Look at the way COLA is calculated for Social Security. No increases next year because the cost of living hasn't gone up :wtf: That's how reality based things are.

3. You know when you fill out a form a the doctor's and they ask who is responsible for the bill?

Maybe we should all start listing members of Congress who opposed single payer.
