Now the gov't says I'm going to have to pay about $600 a MONTH for a
benefit I won't receive and can't use for the next 5 years? If this
is the case, there's no way the public will stand for it. Bad ****'s
about to happen, methinks.


Actually, you are better off paying the fine. Since the legislation also
stipulates that you can't be denied coverage for pre-existing conditions,
you wait until you get sick, then buy insurance -- you can't be denied.

The fact that this will put insurance companies out of business has not
escaped the notice of the congresscritters -- to them, this is a feature,
not a bug. As soon as the insurance companies are driven out of business,
the government gets to step in with single-payer true socialized medicine
since "no other alternative is available".

@#$%'d communists.
