Quote from article in the U S News & World Report today: "Federal penalties. The commissioner of health choices would perform random and targeted audits of health plans across the country and fine or shut down any that flunk federal requirements. And American citizens found lacking in federally acceptable insurance would be fined 2.5 percent of their income for that period, up to the cost of the national average premium."

about the many unwelcome changes to the nation in a
1000+ page bill that has thousands of topics instead of one as required. It is a massive shift of money from the insurers to the US Government and from the people to the insurance companies. Insurance companies are bankrupt because of act's of GOD in the past few years and they are trying to force everyone in the nation to HAVE to buy insurance or be taxed a fine of 2.5% of your INCOME for the year.
I knew beyond a shadow of doubt that the Obama plan has nothing whatsoever to do with health care delivery to the sick!
Thanks to Google for calling this to everyone's attention by an article in their news today:

There are a lot of phrases you could attach to the latest trick by Obama to socialize America and take control of all industries and wealth and some of them are:
federal take-over
socializing of America
insurance company recapitalizing
mandatory redistribution of wealth in accordance with communist manifesto
insurance company swindling America with puppet Obama
but you certainly could not call it a 'reform' of health care delivery.
The only people who will get any health care IF the Obama take-over occurs will be the 'fat' if the news could be trusted, or the healthy to 'prevent disease" that is Obama's slogan for not dispensing any life-giving help to the sick.
I am posting this here because it is my site and the reform of health care matters to all people in the U S, and the 1000+ pages to trick, deceive and intimidate are not accidental.The U S was founded with a document that is less than 20 pages long, a lot less than twenty pages, and yet one segment of the U S economy requires 1000+ pages to "reform' it ? What does that tell you? It tells me that they are trying to obfuscate [cloud the issues,create confusion] and then use the used-car salesman tactics to ramrod it on America.
Congress vote NO ! And vote NO to Sotomayer also for some of the same reasons.

FYI.For your info I started learning a graphics program on the computer that was a freebie to me when someone moved to Australia from my building. It is a pretty good program but it was confusing to me at first and I have problems with some of the features still. But I did succeed in creating what I call clip art on it,and I made a new subdomain and you could see the new clip-art at http://gloriapoole.me.uk/clip-art/ Also I have not abandoned painting with real oils and real acrylics or watercolors or powdered pastels. The graphics is a new way to be creative.
