I thought the stock market was supposed to do poorly

Medicaid is what would be considered "full healthcare." In addition, some of those 47 million are fully capable of paying for healthcare and choose not to right now, meaning that they will either contribute more in taxes to help pay for their irresponsibility or stop being irresponsible and relying on our laws that we won't let them die.

The ones that will be partially subsidized will heavily be done through tax cuts. And as any Republican tells us, tax cuts aren't spending.

That's the most disingenuous statement I've heard in while. If one can't ford $200 a month for food I'm sure they'll be able to pony-up far more than that for healthcare.

.......please!

"the big collapse is just around the corner". Meanwhile the market is up and again so many on the far right lost out - stuck in cash. ("Mitt will win!")

The S&P is up approx 60% under President Obama.

Do yourself a favor - get a diversified portfolio, turn off Fox, and stay the course.

Didn't the leftists have this hate thing going on with the Stock Market while praising the Occupy Movement for their hate for them before the last election?

Funny how the Stock Market seems to be your best advocacy for higher taxes and a weak-a$$ dollar.

Hypocrisy? Or just a bunch of people with jumbled-up hodgepodge beliefs that splinter at whims a notice, like for their hatred of Wall Street Bankers and the investment community, only to reconnected with their new found love of Wall Street when it suits their leftists' cause.

That's the complete opposite of someone with a principled belief in a health free market society.

And again, most of those people who can't afford food are eligible for Medicaid now.

I want to know who is buying food for $200 a month. Maybe one person who is really frugal.

That's what the Government gives a single person for food in Food Stamps. I'm not sure about that amount now, but I read that somewhere a wile back.

But if it's more than that amount it gives my view more validity.

And the people who can't afford any food get Medicaid currently, since long ago we decided that letting people die for financial reasons was not the type of society we wanted to construct.
