Obamacare May Stifle Small Dealership Growth

It was never intended to be a tax and somehow here it is. Lets make it up as we go.

009 - after your previous post linking to the Heritage foundation website, this new one is not surprising at all.

But irrespective of your political beliefs, don't you think you're doing a disservice to this blog and to its readers by dragging in your political biases at every opportunity?

How about we keep this website politics-free?

Isn't Obama great!!!

Didn't mean to attach ^^^ to your reply. But yeah.... 009 is a tool that want's everyone to think like he does. Either that or he's expecting the other morons to join in on the conversation. Either way crap like this shouldn't be on a Automotive web site.

We are so behind other countries when it comes to healthcare that it's sad. It's better now than it was before. That's the only TRUTH that I know.

But I guess you'd rather go back to pre-existing conditions, and allowing Insurance companies to drop coverage whenever they want (effectively killing people sometimes)? But hey… If that’s what you’d rather have, then more power to you. I wouldn’t expect anything different from your type.

Aren't you being forced to pay income taxes? Where's the outrage with that? And it isn't going to massively increase my taxes. I have insurance, my taxes won’t go up at all. Prove otherwise. I think you need to figure out who it affects.

And I don't think that you fully know what the word "Socialism" means? Have you ever been to a public park? If so, then you are a socialist.

And you didn't even answer this:

"But I guess you'd rather go back to pre-existing conditions, and allowing Insurance companies to drop coverage whenever they want (effectively killing people sometimes)?"

Why didn't you answer this?

Stop dodging the question.

And Kudos to you for wanting insurance companies to go back to not covering people with "pre-existing conditions", and allowing Insurance companies to drop coverage whenever they want (effectively killing people sometimes). The "bottom line" is so much more important than human lives right? That's what you seem to be projecting.

And people wonder why America went to crap after 8 years of that type of thinking. Remember 2008? Obama wasn't even around (in office) then and the country was going to crap. Things aren't as bad today as in 2008 but you seem to want to go back to 2008. Enjoy!!!

"Again, I repeat, KUDOs to you for being proud of Obama FORCING poor people to pay even more hefty taxes, or be thrown in prison."

- Poor people are exempt. I’m not surprised that you didn’t know that.

O Boo. Dealerships that are making on average $750,000 in profit per year should provide health care coverage to thie employees? What kind of cokmmunist world do we live in?
And there are too many dealers anyway. Until it becomes politically epxedient to say that there are not too many. Ugh. This site.
BTW, all the crying over the expensive benefits given to UAW workers would be a non-issue with a single-payer government health care system.

This was exactly the point I was trying to make above. With his political prejudices, 009 has converted Autospies into a ultra-political blog, when conversations here should have been about cars!

We may have different political beliefs, but let's keep Autospies about cars!!!

009 - There are many other forums for you to discuss Obamacare, don't pollute this environment!

I think this is just going to be a big government style mess. No one will be helped other than politicians/lawyers and the industry that owns them.
This man is no leader.

Go Obama!!!! You are the best thing that has happened to this country since Bill Clinton.

it's a tough world out there, and I am happy that if my health and insurance disappears, I have other options... Who said we have to be cold hearted to be capitalists and can't set up a system that keeps the nation as a whole healthy and strong... don't the rich want healthy customers who can earn a living to buy their products and services?

once again the ignoramus and liar in chief Barry obama stifles the free market system with his free loading system. The leftist socialists are sworn to bring down America and the capitalist system. obama despises America and all it stands for. That is a cold hard fact.
Throw this ignorant born fool socialist out into the gutter where he came from in November. Cleanse the white house of the obama stink and stain.

Yes AGENT009 is a tool, and Tiquan is not the brightest bulb in the box.
Anyone person who argues without integrity of research is a FOOL.
Why should working folks pick up the tap for people to walk into emergency for free, the average emrgency bill is about $7k, we could insure people for about $2k. ONE more TIP if you have to work another day in your life or if your kids have to grow up and get jobs you should not be voting for republicans at this time in history.
I also believe if your going to ask someone to fight a war for this coubtry, it should come with common rights for that bravery.
As veteran of war, the flag is nothing if you don't take care of your countryman. Semper FI to I DIE!

Racist? Typical of your type to blindly accuse opponents like that.

yeah it's just CRAZY that people should be able to buy insurance coverage at reasonable prices, not be rejected because of pre-existing conditions that they are unlucky to have and get taken care of when sickness randomly strikes them.

what kind of society values car dealership growth--or any economic measure--over human life?

i so rarely agree with you.... but every once in a while :) +1000
