Hmmmm... So, how is this supposed to provide healthcare for the poor? If they aren't working and they don't pay for it now... When this bill passes, they will also get fined for not carrying the insurance. ~/confused

Called "shared responsibility payments," the fines would offset at least half the cost of basic medical coverage, according to the legislation. The goal is to nudge people to sign up for coverage when they are healthy, not wait until they get sick.

Sens. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., and Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., said in a letter to colleagues that their revised plan would cost dramatically less than an earlier, incomplete proposal, and help show the way toward coverage for 97 percent of all Americans.

Ummm, these are two of the five absolute LAST people on earth that I would want in control of my healthcare (the other 3: Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer and Barney Frank!)
SCARY STUFF!
