the 'free' healthcare with Obamacare is pointed directly at the income level for a family of four of $90,000 per year and many families under that income level with fewer than 4.....it's called 'subsidies' that go from the pocket of taxpayers who don't qualify for the subsidies via higher premiums and into the pockets of those that do qualify to pay for their insurance. This is exactly how the other freebies work.......don't you remember the 'share the wealth' spiel?
Why do you think your neighbor should pay for your wife's birth control coverage or your child's pediatric care? Isn't that YOUR responsibility to take care of them? Why should HIS insurance premium be higher than yours based on income level within the household in order to get YOU a subsidy to pay for YOUR premium? HE didn't knock up your wife so why should he pay for YOUR kids or pay for your wife's sterilization procedure if she's tired of having YOUR kids?

General discussion
A first time for Everything. Half cheer for Sarah Palin.
While her rhetoric is hyperbolic and she blames the wrong culprit, Sarah Palin's suggestion that the current Reagan-W Bush deficit is a species of slavery isn't too far off.
It can be easily rectified as was the Second World War Cold War Korean War debt, by higher and graduated taxation which isn't her kind of solution, but it can be fixed.
Of course she couldn't stay on the rails for more than 10 seconds: "This free stuff, so seductive. Why do you think marketers use free stuff to bring people in? Free stuff is such a strong marketing ploy," says she as she goes off on ACA which everyone knows isn't free, and nobody ever said it would be, and she avoids all the handouts to Corporations and Tax inequality. And thinks that things like Food Stamps or Snaps or whatever some highly paid Republican think tanker has decided to call them this week so we don't really have to feel guilty about cutting a programme which supports the working poor, is the Free Stuff that is dragging down the nation, when it's really only 3.8% of the problem.
Then she goes off on the Republicans for not shutting down the government for much much longer endangering lives which she would then blame on the Democrats and Obama. The woman is one of the world's great contortionists and a total stranger to logic.
