Resolved Question: Is it right for the govt to fine $1,000 a year on individuals who refuse to join Obama’s Health plan?
Senate bill fines people refusing health coverage
WASHINGTON – Americans who refuse to buy affordable medical coverage could be hit with fines of more than $1,000 under a health care overhaul bill unveiled Thursday by key Senate Democrats looking to fulfill President Barack Obama’s top domestic priority.
The Congressional Budget Office estimated the fines will raise around $36 billion over 10 years. Senate aides said the penalties would be modeled on the approach taken by Massachusetts, which now imposes a fine of about $1,000 a year on individuals who refuse to get coverage. Under the federal legislation, families would pay higher penalties than individuals.
In a revamped health care system envisioned by lawmakers, people would be required to carry health insurance just like motorists must get auto coverage now. The government would provide subsidies for the poor and many middle-class families, but those who still refuse to sign up would face penalties.
Called “shared responsibility payments,” the fines would be set at least half the cost of basic medical coverage, according to the legislation.

Resolved Question: Where is the change Obama promised and why is the left oblivious to his campaign that got him elected?
In the Seattle Times February 9, David Sirota’s syndicated column exposes the lack of change in the new administration:
“America was told that finally after years of yes-men running the government, we were getting a president who would follow Abraham Lincoln’s load, fill his administration with varying viewpoints, and glean empirically sound policy from the clash of ideas.
“Little did we know that the ‘team of rivals’ was what George Orwell calls ‘Newspeak’: an empty slogan.
“Obama’s national security team, for instance, includes not a single Iraq War opponent. The president has not only retained George W. Bush’s defense secretary, Robert Gates, but also 150 other Bush Pentagon appointees. The only `rivalry’ is between those who back increasing the already bloated defense budget by an absurd amount, and those who aim to boost it by a ludicrous amount.
“Of course, that lock-step uniformity pales in comparison to the White House’s economic team — a squad of corporate lackeys disguised as public servants.
“At the top is Lawrence Summers, the director of Obama’s national economic council. As Bill Clinton’s treasury secretary in the late 1990′s Summers worked with his deputy, Tim Geithner (now Obama’s treasury secretary) and Clinton’s aide Rahm Emanuel (now Obama’s chief of staff) to champion job-killing trade deals and deregulation that Obama Commerce Secretary Judd Gregg helped shepherd through Congress as a Republican senator.”
Some people call this economic package Obama boasts about as merely a way to force the taxpaying public to guarantee the financial industry’s bad loans.
No, this is definitely not the change that Obama’s campaign boasted about, is it? No, indeed, it’s the same people doing the same things, and the U.S. taxpayer footing the bill for failure.
The February 10 front page of the New York Times revealed this headline:
GEITHNER SAID TO HAVE PREVAILED ON THE BAILOUT
Stephen Labaton and Edmund L. Andrews in their article datelined from Washington, D.C. explained:
“The Obama administration’s new plan to bail out the nation’s banks was fashioned after a spirited debate that pitted the Treasury Secretary
Timothy F. Geithner against some of the president’s top political hands.
“In the end, Mr. Geithner largely prevailed in opposing tougher conditions on financial institutions that were sought by presidential aides, including David Axelrod, a senior adviser to the president, according to administration and congressional officials.”
What are some of the changes that Geithner wanted included? It will cost billions more!
As Labaton and Andrews revealed:
“It calls for the creation of a joint treasury and federal reserve program at an initial cost of $250 billion to $500 billion to encourage investors to acquire soured mortgage-related assets from banks.
“It wants the Fed to use its balance sheet to provide the financing, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation might provide guarantees to investors who participate in the program.
“A second component of the plan would broadly expand to $500 billion to $1 trillion, an existing $200 billion program run by the Federal Reserve to try to unfreeze the market for commercial, student, auto and credit cards.”
The big question to making these grandiose plans work is where is all this bailout cash coming from?
China, we hear, is experiencing its own recession. We already owe China more than $1 trillion. China is cutting back in loans to the U.S. as it explains it needs money for China more than ever.
To put people in top positions who sent our jobs away and reward bank chiefs who took huge bonuses and put the same colossal bank president failures back in power does seem unforgivable.
America must remain strong so future generations will have the strength to pay off this gigantic national debt.
President Obama, what on earth happened to all your glowing promises for change?

Flawed Logic from Jody in Wonderland — If this doesn’t take the cake, I don’t know what will. Jody Wagner criticized Bob McDonnell and Bill Bolling’s transportation plan without providing an alternative. Wagner also criticized Bolling for not supporting Governor Tim Kaine’s plan, which would have raised taxes over the course of six years.
Obviously, Wagner loves a plan with more taxes, especially since this might be the primary basis of her plan. When Wagner was Secretary of Finance, she supported EVERY one of Kaine’s tax hike, including the following:
