well, there is no bill at the moment. Only committee versions which
have yet to be merged. However, I did not see where jail time was part
of the deal. You'd have to point me to some actual text from the
Senate or House committees, because I am not finding it.

If I'm not mistaken the bill includes huge fines and/or jail time if you are assessed a surcharge for not participating and you fail to pay the surcharge.

Jail time? It sounds to me like you've been fed a very large helping
of bull. Jail time is not a penalty for not participating. The money
penalty is to compensate for the fact that those who opt out, will
ultimately tax the system when they are ill.

Have a great day, Joe.

If this health care plan going through congress is such a good idea why is there jail time and fines for those who don't want to participate in it?

None of this will matter anyway if Saudi Arabia is successful in taking down the dollar. There's a lot going on in other areas besides this health care control bill that will make it's passage inconsequential.

Look in to what obama gave away in the G20 meeting.

Madeline Albright's wishes are coming true. We're evening the playing field with the world, but not by raising the world to our level, we're sinking into 3rd world status fast.

Global government is just a short reach away. Thanks libs.

No, you're confusing two different things. There are HSA accounts --
where you can put in up to 2500 and let it accumulate, and there are
FSA accounts where you choose not to be paid a certain amount and then
use those funds as reimbursement. No one is proposing that FSA
accounts go away. Only the HSA accounts, which are sold as a companion
to high-deductible insurance policies and bank on the hope that you
won't get sick or need to dip into them for oh...20 or so years.
(that's how long it would take, assuming Wall Street didn't take
another cut) to accumulate an account substantial enough to deal with
illness.
