I've had my own insurance for about 17 years now, and it's consistently gone up(obviously), even that I've never had any sort of major claim.

And again, I looked at "their plans", and they would still be about $1100 more a year, than I am CURRENTLY paying. So WTF does "AFFORDABLE" Health Care mean to me? "Bend over, healthy, responsible citizen, who has done the right thing, for the past 17 years, and worked your ass off, your entire life, and now we're gonna F you? You do "okay" so you're going to pay the most, even though you're healthy". Sorry, but that's Socialism, at it's finest..... The gov't can stay shut down, as far as I care.

They will be dumping money into the insurers and not using it all the time.Like car insurance. No accidents .cheaper plans.

My friend is a smoker.He said he will get hammered do to his smoking habit.

I agree on the penalty.Thats one thing they are fighting about down there.
