ObamaCare..What does it mean for pharma?

Great quote…says it all!!!

 

You must be too busy to read the news. The law was upheld by the Supreme Court because it was a TAX. Congress has the power to tax so he Supremes chose to review its constitutionlity from that angle rather than the more popular thinking (and obvious) interstate commerce law.

Stay in your bubble of ignorance if you like but the law is still in pace because it was determined to be a TAX.

 

It's a penalty in the free loaders that falls under the taxing powers of congress. I'm tired of paying for everyone else's irresponsible acts. It's time for these deadbeats to start paying up!

Thanks Obama and Dems for this historic accomplishment!

 

Yes Romney will repeal Obamacare. Romney is the man we need! You southern males are hillarious. Romney has nothing in come with you.

 

Repubs really are dillusional. The financial collapse did happen, right on Pres Bush's watch. Obama has spent his first term trying to fix that mess he inherited, and he's done an admirable job. Can't wait till his second term. Obama 2012

 

"Obama has spent his first term".............you said it...He sure has!

Hey pal...wake up and smell the java...your coffee pot is burning.

Time to take a closer look at our...."everybody jump for food-stamps" president.......from every angle he is a big spender and mega debt creator extraordinaire ...other presidents look like cheapo's in comparison....

Oops...Mr O. just had to cut back on one of his many lavish get aways!!!.....the press caught wind of this big, new spending spree.......

Awww... that irresponsibile spending tendency follows you everywhere.......

 

A penalty collected by the IRS. Get. A. Clue.

 

Crunch......

Thanks for that link. WTF?!?!

"Starting in 2013, the maximum rate on long-term gains is scheduled to go up to 20% and the maximum rate on dividends is scheduled to increase to 39.6% as the so-called Bush tax cuts expire."

39.6% (more if your income level is higher) on dividends?! The fixed income crowd is in for one hell of a shock when they figure out what's being used to pay for their expanded care!

The old saying couldn't be more true: there is no such thing as a free lunch (or healthcare).

 

I had to post again - now that I've read the whole article. My GOD! Taxes are going to be outrageous to cover these costs. Oh, I forgot that only matters to those of us who PAY taxes, which are often the same people who already pay for their own healthcare.

Between the fiscal cliff, Obamacare and the sluggish economy those of us who actually have something to lose are f$&@ed.

 

Another caveat...

Obama will help Americans keep their weight down..........no one will be able to afford groceries!!!

Hmmm....maybe that's another way he can push the socialist agenda too.......more people on food stamps cause Uncle Sam get more big helping to their paycheck......

 

Agreed. I could not have said it better!

 

Thank you for rationally pointing out the facts to this Obama loving naive person.

 

I vote my conscience not my wallet like most of the undereducated RepubliScabs. Disgusting religious nuts. So ashamed of the Tea Party thugs

 

IT IS ONE OF THE LARGEST FEDERAL TAX HIKES SINCE 1951......YHAT' S 61 years!

If you're a free loading deadbeat, yes you're going to be paying a fine and it's going to help pay for this thing. Sounds good to me. And sounded good to Mitt Romney haha!

 

It will affect ~ 1% of population. No problem with me, I'm responsible and have my own insurance and don't freeload off the system.

 

Good to see a conscienceis exists.....your conscience will see the wise and humane option in this better plan......

too funny! From that webpage;

"We will enact common-sense medical liability reforms to lower costs, rein in junk lawsuits and curb defensive medicine" and will "defund abortions."

So, first the Republicans promise to limit my freedom to sue when I have been injured? And then they propose to have more people on welfare. Great. What a plan.

BTW: there is no such thing as 'common sense.' Everything is a matter of perspective. What you may consider unacceptable may be very important to someone else.

 

Yes, like not spending ourselves into a catastrophe…..Oh, but you liberals don't mind spending your children's and grandchildren's money…now that is truly shameful!!! Spend Spend Spend is your answer to everything.
