Denmark is close to 80% taxation. Why would I even want 20%? It's scary that Americans are even thinking those countries have something we should envy.

Why are we against the Affordable Care Act (ACA)?
Armstrong Williams

First, the insurance premium benefits are not and will not be as attractive as they were originally advertised.

The second major problem is that Obamacare imposes price controls on the medical system in order to reduce costs. However the Achilles Heel of the act requires insurance companies to insure all applicants of the same age cohort the same premium regardless of preexisting medical conditions.

The third major problem is the negative impact on jobs and the economy.

Obamacare Marketplace: Personal Data Can Be Used For ‘Law Enforcement and Audit Activities’

The policy contains many standard statements about information automatically collected regarding Internet browsers and IP addresses, temporary "cookies" used by the site, and website accessibility. However, at least two conditions may give some users pause before proceeding.

Should you decide to apply for health coverage through Maryland Health Connection, the information you supply in your application will be used to determine whether you are eligible for health and dental coverage offered through Maryland Health Connection and for insurance affordability programs. It also may be used to assist you in making a payment for the insurance plan you select, and for related automated reminders or other activities permitted by law. We will preserve the privacy of personal records and protect confidential or privileged information in full accordance with federal and State law. We will not sell your information to others. Any information that you provide to us in your application will be used only to carry out the functions of Maryland Health Connection. The only exception to this policy is that we may share information provided in your application with the appropriate authorities for law enforcement and audit activities.

The site does not specify if "appropriate authorities" refers only to state authorities or if it could include the federal government, as well. Neither is there any detail on what type of law enforcement and/or audit activities would justify the release of the personal information, or who exactly is authorized to make such a determination.

The second privacy term that may prompt caution by users relates to email communications. The policy reads:

If you send us an e-mail, we use the information you send us to respond to your inquiry. E-mail correspondence may become a public record. As a public record, your correspondence could be disclosed to other parties upon their request in accordance with Maryland’s Public Information Act.

"Only" 59%????

Hey why don't you choose to give "only" 59% of your income away? In fact I have an address you can send it to.

Democrats ask: Why not expand the worst insurance in America?

ObamaCare's website appears to have been built by Mitt Romney's "Project Orca" digital team, and perhaps tens of people have managed to sign up so far. "Fully enrolled, I can't tell you. I don't know," Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius conceded Monday. But Democrats do have one lament about implementation: Some states are opting out of the Medicaid expansion.
