[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1830715, member: 42"] Well, we already have selective taxes right? Married people pay less, people that own houses etc...I can't stomp my feet about that. How will it affect those of us already insured, and people posting in this thread? From my understanding, it directly affects those who are already insured if their policy doesn't meet the qualifying standards. If your plan doesn't meet standards you have to pay more to get one or pay a tax penalty. I can't go into details on what those standards are because I don't know. But what I do know is that when government sets standards and issues mandates on coverage...rates go up. So my rates will go up. Additionally, as my insurance provider attempts to offset the cost of providing mandatory insurance for people with pre-existing conditions and 26 year old "children" on their parents policies...my rates will go up yet again. Then, on top of those rate increases, because I made the choice at 17 to embark on 22 years of military service and [I]earn[/I] subsidized health insurance I run the risk of my insurance plan being deemed a "Cadillac Plan" and I will therefore be subjected to additional taxes, the revenue from which will be used to fund insurance/health care for some fat ***** sitting on her ass eating twinkies who's income level qualifies her to enroll in the state run insurance 'pool'. That's what I think I know...I'm sure I got some details wrong but the end result does not equal "If you have a policy, everythings all good bro!"....LOL. [/QUOTE]
