Fines In Massachusetts For Those Who Refuse To Buy Fortis Health Insurance

Im a 53-year-old downsized human being, who missing a good job and health insurance coverage three years ago. My good job wsince as a journalist; I had worked 32 years for The Saginaw (Mich.) facts and figures, and my pay was similar to a school teacher. excluding, the newspaper industry was suffering and so I lost my job.

Here in 2009, what are the opinions of my elected federal representatives as a resident of the suffering auto town of Saginaw, Michigan? Well, Michigan is the hardest-hit, most poor state in the nation, with 15 percent unemployment. Therefore, we elect Democrats. However, I am apologetic to say that my elected Democrats have not been specially active on health insurance reform, even even though they will vote in favor of whatever is desired by President Barack Obama.

U.S. Senator Carl Levin, in office since 1978, seems more interested in distant affairs and defense spending. U.S. Senator Deborah Stabenow, in federal office since the focal point 1990s subsequent to a extensive tenure in Michigan state government, just isnt very dynamic.

Then we have Congressman Dale Kildee of Flint, whom we inherited in Saginaw for declining population after the 2000 Census deprived us of effecting our own “local” U.S. representative in Congress. Dale Kildee has been in Congress for 32 years and will spin 80 in September, nevertheless he is one of those egocentric legislators who wont give up his tenure for a younger and more enthusiastic representative, sort of like a Democratic Strom Thurmond. I know this by calling his uncooperative office for info on details on the monetary stimulus; I was referred to federal websites, with Kildees local office revelation no local initiative. Dale Kildee just doesnt do much, at least not anymore, cherish what I see.

As an advocate for President Obama on health insurance, I should be delighted that Levin and Stabenow and Kildee will support President Obama with their votes, but I want more than their votes. I am let down in their lack of active advocacy; they sort of seem like deadwood to me.

For all of those years that I worked at The Saginaw News, those 32 years from 1973 to 2006, I had supported national health insurance. My income for our relatives was a very middle income, such as around $50,000 during the later years of this employment, but I was willing to pay higher taxes so that my less luck-filled sisters and brothers may well get health insurance, even while President Obama pledges not to raise taxes on somebody making less than $250,000. Why is this income level set so high for those of us with enough income, present or past, that we should be willing to share? After all, should not those of us with decent incomes support to support those with lower incomes? I was willing to pay higher sacrifices for so-called “Hillarytenderness” in 1993 and 1994, but that was regreted. I was willing to unselfishly share, but most of my peers with middle incomes were not willing to share. They were selfish.

Most workforce in my thoughts, or more fortunate than myself, have been selfish and antagonistic to national health insurance when it comes to brass tacks. Thats why we didnt have health care reform during 1993 and 1994 under Bill and Hillary Clinton. Selfishness led to our defeat. And when you think of it, this sort of selfishness has led to our defeat ever since President Harry Truman proposed national health insurance during the late 1940s after World take on II.

These idiots who scream against national health care at these town hall forums are very frustrating to me. They are basically low-income and low-middle income people who are screaming against their own self-interests.

The pending defeat of national health insurance is so sad to me. Its like we are unable to share for the all-purpose good. I appeal people would not be so selfish and so hateful. Shouldnt we all have health insurance?
