#1 This post got me to thinking....(yeah, pipe down back there....)

Do any 'burgers know if this stupid Obamacare bill will outlaw what is commonly known as "concierge care" practices?

Me & the Tsar were thinking that it might be a better option to pay the stupid fine to the lazy slobs in DC for not participating, pay the annual fee for a family plan with one of these practices and possibly be able to write the fees off as medical expenses on our taxes.

(Besides, I think that the whole scheme would make my Obamabot sis in law cry if we could pull it off, which would make us happy indeed...)

#2 If the current combination of laws doesn't ban that now, they'll undoubtedly try later. In the mean time I'm contemplating any future hospitalization somewhere nice, like Costa Rica.

#3 "possibly be able to write the fees off as medical expenses on our taxes"

You don't really think the feds will continue to let you do that, do you, Blondie?

As Glenn often quotes, "They'll turn us into beggars 'cause they're easier to please." >:-(

#5 Well Cornsilk Blondie, unfortunatly the health system is not about health or care. It is as Dingle let slip and tried to lay off his slip on being tired rather than having tyrant aspirations, it is about "control of the people."

BO and his leftists minions will learn that Americans have a steel in their spines and a legacy of freedom that has been paid for dearly. You can not govern Americans with force. And you cannot force physicians to practice medicine. You may end up having a health care system without doctors. Herding cats is much easier than herding Americans. I predict you will see considerable civil disobedience to hand-handed passed unjust laws. Consider it a matter of civil rights.

#8 Well, yeah, Blondie.

Just like they get to fly first class on our money, they get raises (again with our money) when we don't, etc., etc.....
