From Huffington Post:
Rose-colored glasses screen out the responsibility that comes with freedom and the power to make decisions. Problem: there is no such thing as responsibility-free living. Robert Heinlein said it in one word: Tanstaafl! (”There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.”) If you smoke cigarettes or weigh 400 pounds and get “free” health care, someone is paying for the extra resources you consume.
Now that you are free of newspeak, scotoma, and see clearly, you can grasp the probable results from ObamaCare, from adding a Government Insurance option to the mind-numbing morass of insurance choices and limitless paperwork.
I seem to recall old Doc Johnson from TSBTS taking chickens for payment.
