I made a New Years resolution not to aggravate people on internet forums so I will try to say this delicately. Things usually do not end the way they begin.
When the dust settles the progressives will realize they fought tooth and nail for a mandate/tax that is exceptionally regressive. Not that I care either way. I just find it ironic.
This may actually help me out because Im trying to figure out how to work less. When the insurance exchanges kick in I can go to independent contractor or part time status without having to worry about healthcare. If I keep my adjusted gross income below the cutoff I can even get federal assistance. Maybe I will only work a few months a year and have more fun.
Im pretty sure I wasnt the target demographic for healthcare reform...Or maybe I was. One never can tell.
