Why? Because then we can go back to talking about softball on HeyBucket!

Who wins this election will affect everyone, even on the softball field. Let's look at this article:
Obamacare exempts millions--prisoners, illegals, welfare recipientsIn just 14 months, Americans will be required to prove that they have federally “qualified” health insurance or face an Obamacare tax of $695 to $2,085. That is unless you are in prison, below the poverty line, or are an undocumented immigrant, according to the anti-tax group Americans for Tax Reform.
When added together, those three groups total up to one-sixth of the nation’s population of 314 million: 218,929 are in federal prisons, 12 million are illegals and 42 million are below the poverty line and eligible for welfare, though some fit into all three categories, according to federal reports.
ATR highlighted the groups eligible from the mandate to get health insurance in a mock Internal Revenue Service form they developed to show the extra paperwork Americans will be required to fill out once the full Obamacare law kicks in, January 2014. It is based on testimony from the IRS given in September that said, “taxpayers will file their tax returns reporting their health insurance coverage, and/or making a payment.”In a nutshell, with obamacare, these people will have the same health care service as you and me. But here is the catch, you will pay for theirs and yours. So the system will be overburdened and it will cost you twice as much. So let's say DD tweaks a knee on the softball field and needs an MRI, how long do you think it will take before she gets one with all these extra millions in the system? How about arthroscopic surgery if she needs it?
