No, the mandatory vaccine isn't a joke. Read the Public Readiness Emergency and Preparedness Act. It governs that it can be done.
And if you haven't heard, they are stock piling and making vaccinations.
Straight from the WHO site:

**WHO moved Pandemic up to Phase 6 July 11, 2009**

We covered that in another thread, but just because they are getting vaccines ready incase of an emergency it does not mean that they are going to force it on anyone that doesn't want it. People are too paranoid about this and the people your getting your news from are making connections that have nothing to do with eachother.
The phase 6 is to keep everyone aware, they even said that it was not a serious severity. I put the numbers on the other thread, but only 300ish people died of H1N1, while over 60k a year in the us die of regular flu. H1N1 if it mutates into something really severe would be tragic, but until that happens there is nothing to fear.
Yes, I have a social security card. Obviously, anyone born in
America has one. But I don't regulary carry it on me. Ever.
Only if I need it for an ID or something. Which I don't need.
Yes, I have a health care card. But why is that they want to
give everyone another?
I read most the bill and did not see that anywhere. And lets for argument sake say that it is in there (which unless you can give me a section and line number I won't believe), if you have insurance you already have an insurance card, if you don't then you would either get it (meaning that you need a card for the hospital) or your paying 2.5% taxes and they would not be able to give you a insurance card since you have no insurance.
Why does everyone think that is ok? If I refuse a gov't option why should
I be taxed to pay for others? We are taxed enough as a society.
Again your missing it. If you have other insurance and don't want the government program you will not be taxed. Nothing will change for you. The taxes will only come from the people that refuse to get sometype of insurance government or private.
And people who get in car accidents with no insurance are regularly helped anyway. I've worked in the ER and seen people in car accidents come in and get treated just like any other patient even if they don't have insurance.
Exactly. And what happens to all the costs that are incurred? It gets spread out to all the other patients that pay for their care in the form of higher prices that are either paid by the insurance companies or the people paying in cash. It is not just forgiven. We all are already paying higher prices due to everyone not having insurance. This way people will either be forced to get some (so that their plan is paying for the care they receive, or they pay the 2.5% taxes for not being responsible by having no insurance).
If you can disprove all of the things Keenly has found with a legitimate
source I would be happy to believe that he gets information from
biased sites.
I am not going to say that I have or can disprove everything that he has said, but with the insurance portion, on the Obama's looking good thread page 86 on I had posted the actual bill and disputted line by line most the things that the republican sites had falsified. I always try to post the actual information when the conspiracy theories get posted.
But I try and not just jump on it without looking at both sides then looking at the actual information. Most of the new political websites are using peoples ignorance of how to research stuff and just cut and pasting or 'pharaphrasing' quotes that are completely manipulating the truth.
And that is where all this nonsence of this bill has came from. It sucks because it makes it almost impossible to see if there is anything to actually worry about because of all the bs that they just made up to scare people away from it.
Almost all the negative attacks against Obama you see now are a manipulation of the republican party to get people so scared that everything is so horrible that they can get re-elected next year.
Scared and paniced people vote in huge numbers compared to conplacent people. So in absence of actual situations that make people scared (war, 9/11) it is easier to just make crap up non-stop until everyone is in a state of panic.
Why should any American be forced to pay for insurance just because
they can afford it?
Just because a person CAN afford something, doesn't mean that they
should be forced to get it. That's just plain bullshit.
They shouldn't and are not. But if they are chosing not to get insurance even though they can afford it, then they are going to pay taxes. It is a crappy choice but it is a choice.
Eventually time catches up to people and they find themselves in need (get sick w/e) and when that happens they will use the system that we all pay into. Why should they not have to pay and instead make us all pay for their stupidity or pride? We cannot just let them sit on the sidewalk and die.
So if someone had savings in the bank, and the gov't knew it,
they could say "you have total of $36,952 in your checkings account. You will now be getting monthly deductions to pay for health care you don't
even want to buy"
Its in the bill. That they will have real time access to your bank account.
This was one of the lies that I disproved. The only way that they have your banking info is if you set it up for a direct withdrawl. Just like setting up a online bill. It is not something that they force onto you, you chose to sign up for it. Just like when I get my tax returns and I actually paid too much, I can have them directly input that money into my account. They don't sit there and monitor your funds, it was just another misrepresentation of the truth to scare people.
I applaud you for getting involved and trying to educate yourself on the issues. We need to get more people to open their eyes to what is happening. But I implore you that if you read it on the internet question everything. They misquote on purpose to get their story.
If something has you worried look at the actual documents because chances are that a lot of the actual information was left out that may change everything.
