At the very least PA should be one of the first states to opt-out. Compared to other states, we’re pretty good with coverage and CHIP covers kids. Plus ObamaCare will cut medicare benefits, pushing the states to pick up the slack. PA has one of the oldest populations in the state and we certainly can’t afford that. We’re broke as it is.

Corbett right on~I was worried we would be forced to buy health care it is a choice not a requirement. Good for Corbett for filing an objection, unconstitutional

Wonder why he didn’t file suit to stop the bank bailout? That was unconstitutional. It took from our future and rewarded the guys who practiced financial fraud. In fact, why is he not hauling those Wall Street crooks into court?

corbett bans people from seeing a doctor

corbett feels seniors need to pay more for drugs

corbett thinks women don’t pay enough to see a doctor

corbett hates poor people

the ads write themselves

He’s just saying that now to bring in the votes of the tea party wingnuts. After the primary – it will be “what lawsuit” before the General vote.

Hey Corrupt Corbett – where are those Repubican Bonusgate Emails? – oh wait – the AG’s office warned the PA Republicans just in time to Replace ALL PA Republican Computers – how convenient!

Good for you Corbett. I am a very angry Dem who plans to vote for Toomey and Corbett in November.

The sooner Tom Corbett goes away, the better off the citizens of Pa. will be. Enough already with this unqualified, bureaucratic, political hack. Please simply disappear from the Pa. political landscape, we’ve had enough of your partisan antics. We must CHANGE THE CULTURE in this state.

Mr. Corbett hates the average Pennsylvaiia citizen ,he only cares about his rich buddies. He should run out of office, he a real bigot.

Corbit sides with the insurance companies over Pennsylvania citizens. Whadya know, he IS a Republican.

Here’s an inconvenient fact for those who believe the FALSE right wing assertion that the new healthcare insurance law cuts funds for Medicare: It cuts only funds from Medicare Advantage. Medicare Advantage are rip off insurance policies sold by private companies in place of (not as a supplement to) Medicare. They are unwise purchases and should not be subsidized by our government. The new law saves us money and tells the private insurance companies that they have to make a profit without depending upon the taxpayers to subsidize them. It doesn’t cut funds from traditional Medicare, James.

Tom Corbett is a teabagger that hates black people, gays, women, jews, and everyone else that isn’t a rich, white, hillbilly. Who cares what Corbett thinks anyway? We all know that Joe Hoeffel is going to win in a landslide.

James,

You must not be aware that the waiting list for Adult Basic is over 300,000 & there are less than 100,000 currently enrolled. This is a program for working poor. How can you say we have good coverage in PA? Or do you advocate that the working poor should all quit their jobs so we can all pay for their medicaid?

Cindy

Seriously, there are better arguments against this legislation than protecting people’s right not to buy insurance. That is one of the few things I do agree with.

The point is simple. Those who do not have insurance, rely on the rest of us to pay their bill. Only about 25% of all those without insurance actually pay their full bill. The rest of the costs get passed on to medicaid or the rest of us in private plans. The Doctors and hospitals are going to get their money. Just stop making me pay your bill

PA requires us to buy car insurance. Why can’t the fed’s require us to buy health insurance?

Do you think those who advocate against the health care bill are willfully ignorant, or just honestly stupid? This measure is far from a government takeover of health care, unless you feel that in the early- to mid-nineties Bob Dole was pushing for socialism, since so many of the provisions within this bill are exactly along the lines of what that Republican leader said he supported back then. And the idea that Corbett sees some political advantage in this “lawsuit” tack on his part says about all anyone needs to know about this clown. As of the 2000 census, the state of Pennsylvania was second among all states, behind only West Virginia, in overall percentage of people over 65: 15.6%. (http://www.prb.org/Articles/2003/WhichUSStatesAretheOldest.aspx). Closing the donut hole in Medicare Part D and not leaving seniors to twist in the wind and pay thousands and thousands of dollars for prescription drugs that they need – a hole left by Republicans in one of the most blatant examples of the fact that when they’re in control of Congress they craft and pass bad legislation that they also fail to bother paying for – is reason alone for people in Pennsylvania to welcome health care reform with open arms and consequently reject Tom Corbett.

I am an independent and this action has cost Corbett my vote. Up to this time, I thought Corbett did a commendable job as A.G. However, I voted for other people to represent me in Washington DC. When the Health Care legislation was pending, I communicated with them. I felt that Corbett was qualified to represent in Harrisburg, but not in Washington, DC. I did not ask Corbett to step in and represent me in Washington, DC. I think that he should be forced to repay the taxpayers of Pennsylvania for the expenses of this lawsuit because in doing so, he is “undoing” their choice to have others represent them in Washington D.C. More importantly, he is free to bring a challenge as a citizen if he does not like the bill, but he should not rely on Pennsylvania citizens tax dollars to pursue his personal political agenda.

Helen, PA doesn’t require everyone to buy car insurance…only the people using cars. You can opt out simply by walking, carpooling, or taking the bus. You can’t opt-out of ObamaCare. He owns you. You must comply or face a fine. This isn’t socialism or communism. It’s fascism. Do what Fuhrer Obama says or be labled an enemy of the state and face the consequences. Very scary days ahead for America.

John — Healthcare isn’t a car. You can’t opt out of going to the Emergency Room if you’ve been sick for a while and haven’t been able to see a doctor because you have no health insurance, and then your kidney’s fail or your appendix bursts. With or without this legislation, we’re all paying for people who don’t have health insurance. Better to do so in a humane way than one in which we allow people to suffer until they can’t take it any longer.

John-the point of requiring car insurance is liability in case that you are involved in accident. So, everyone pays a share of the damage. In case of health insurance, an uninsured person can walk in the emergency room and by law hospital has to provide service. In most cases, people do not pay their bill. Expenses have to come from somewhere. Either increase in premiums, taxes, or lower share revenues for hospitals. Other argument is that we all benefit from a healthy citizen. l know it is a strange concept, but eventually you will get it. And last but not least, no one in this country should go broke because they got sick. l think you will agree with me on this.

The government is not legally allowed to mandate the purchase of a product. Everyone says “what about car insurance! That’s mandatory!” Well, actually it isn’t. You have the right to chose if you want to drive a car or not. If you make the personal choice to drive, then SOME STATES require you to purchase liability auto insurance. And when did everyone feel that they were entitled to everything all of a sudden? Gone are the days when people are willing to work for their goods. And that’s what health care is… a good. Rights are what you are born with: Right of personal choice; religion, speech, the right to pursue happiness. People are mistaking Goods for Rights. You WANT goods but they are not yours from birth like rights are. Goods are things such as food, shelter, clothing, cars, T.V.’s, and health insurance. We are not entitled to health care no matter how sympathetic we want to be.
