All states that have mandatory health insurance
are no longer able to afford Microsoft Windows
or Microsoft Office or any full price software
from Microsoft.
When individuals are required to buy health insurance
by their states premiums are high and then they can
no longer afford Microsoft software such as Windows.
Those states that are spending billions of dollars
partially subsidizing mandatory HMO premiums for
poor peoples mandatory health insurance are facing
bankruptcy. Both states and individuals can save money
by using low cost Linux instead of Microsoft Windows
on all computers.
If you are living in a state with mandatory health
insurance you should lobby that states government
to switch all school computers ( K-12,Communnity colleges,
Universities) to use Linux as their operating system
instead of making you get less of a premium subsidy
to continue to pay rent on Microsoft Windows and
Microsoft office site liscences for schools.
When you buy new computers get Linux instead
of Microsoft Windows for them. Windows can run on only
one computer but Linux can run on all computers that you
own.
Linux has good programming capabilities. Linux uses
the full 32-bit c programming language that can be used
for large programs and not just small programs like
16-bit Liberty Basic or qbasic.
There are some c example programs written for Linux.
Click here for the list of three files for
edelev14 text editor program.

There is another c program that uses the same header files

and
gcc -Wall vgview07.c -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -o vgview07.out
./vgview07.out
to compile and run the program.
If there is a list of bitmaps ending with .bmp in the same directory

changes colormode in vgview07
Different pictures look better in different colormodes.

Mandatory health insurance is unfair to individuals because the
premiums are too high and unfair to states because the subsidies
for poor peoples premiums are more costly than expected
and also unfair to Microsoft because states that have mandatory
health insurance are no longer able to afford Microsoft software
such as Windows and Office any more with all that extra
money being wasted on HMO premiums. The low cost LINUX
operating system is already ready to compete with
Microsoft Windows. If your state has mandatory health insurance
have the schools and universites there switched their computers
to LINUX to save money yet??

Like... that's a bad thing ?

The current state of the nation has direct linkage with its chronic MS-
Drug dependency.

It is important for Massachusetts residents to lobby
their legislators and school boards to switch school
computers (k-12 and universities etc )to use
Linux on all state owned computers to save money.
This will not happen automatically.
Colleges need new Linux c programming textbooks.
.
Mandatory health insurance can create an economic
hardship for most middle class individuals. Is
mandatory health insurance what a majority of
Massachusetts voters really want even if premiums
increase ??

Actually Open source software like Open Office is just as good and free.
MS Vista is a failure that has not been accepted by many corporations.
Ubuntu Linux is a great OS and adequate for most home users, colleges
and businesses. You are trying to make health care a trade off for MS
Windows products. This is curious.

Massachusetts started moving to Open source products at least 3 years ago.

Well, that's a good thing to do not be able to afford Microsoft
Software.
Since it's just 50 year old moron IBM dino-ware, rather than
software.

It is extremely unfair for Microsoft to not allow Massachusetts
schools to switch to open source Linux to save money.
Teachers will have to be laid off to pay for Windows
and subsidizing health insurance premiums for poor people.
If Massachusetts voters will force Massachusetts schools
to switch to Linux on all computers then teachers will
be able to keep their jobs.
Ask Microsoft whether it is really right to lay off
teachers in order to rent site liscences for Microsoft
Windows Vista and Microsoft Office Vista in schools.
Is mandatory health insurance for everyone really more
important than teachers keeping their jobs??
Who will provide health care in the future after current
doctors retire and there are no teachers left to teach new doctors?
Mandatory health insurance is very expensive.

Fedora Core Linux and Centos Linux are the best Linuxes
and you can use Suse but it is harder to install.
Try using Centos 4 Linux or Fedora Core Linux for schools
because those are the easiest to install and get working.
..
On the TV show Everybody Hates Chris
his two parents are unable to afford Microsoft Windows
so Chris uses Fedora Core Linux.

Mandatory health insurance is so expensive that
Massachusetts schools already have to lay off teachers to
subsidize premiums.
Massachusetts residents who attend school or have
kids in school should lobby their teachers and legislators

Dear California and Massachusetts Voters:
The California assembley allegedly removed a limit
of 6.5% of a rich persons income to be spent on a premium
for a proposed required very high deductible
health insurance policy.
As of Jan 18,2009 health insurance companies
already want more than 6.5% of a wealthy Californians
income even though they are too rich to qualify
for the state income tax reduction.
---------------
If the California Senate still wants mandatory health
insurance they should ammend the bill so no
individual will have to pay more than 30 per cent of their
income on required health insurance premiums and
no one shall be fined more than 30 per cent
of their income for not having health insurance in
California or Massachusetts
instead of the much larger fine equal to what
their totally unlimited premium
would have been.
If the HMO lobby rejects limiting premiums to 30
percent of a rich persons income then the HMOs
must admit NOW that they are already
planning on raising premiums above 30 per cent
of the income of even the richest of Californians
who are too rich to qualify for a state income
tax reduction.
------------------
Are there any politicians or individuals who
are willing to vote against requiring everyone to
buy health insurance no matter how expensive it
becomes ??
If 30% is too much The state legislatures can choose
a lower percentage for the maximum percentage of each
individuals income that is required to be spent on
mandatory health insurance premiums.
This number will be greater than 6.5% because the 6.5%
maximum limit on premiums was forcibly removed from California's
bill by HMO lobbyists!
..
-------------
As far as I know both Hillary Clinton and
Mitt Rommney are planning on requiring everyone
to buy health insurance with no limit on
how high health insurance companies (HMOs)
can raise premiums.
Is anybody willing to vote against Hillary Clinton
or Mitt Rommney in any primary ??

So what is the difference between a state requiring that 6.5% of everyone's
income be spent on private health insurance and public funds paying for the
rest of the populace's health care, vs the government taking 6.5% of all
income and providing health care for all?
What, two or three less layers of insurance overhead paperwork and a
simple 6.5% of payroll form, vs one form for each employee and five forms
for each non-insured otherwise covered plus government oversight by person
and special adds and endless extras? God knows we wouldn't want to be
efficient and remove overhead and deliver more product.


If you want to get a handle on health care costs, cap the cost at 6.5% of
all US income and collect the money. For employers, on total salary paid.
For non-wage-earners, on gross income up to a cap.

Then do not allow anyone to be denied service as a condition of license
to practice, and require that 5.9% of all that collected health care money
be spent on primary care workers and equipment - salaries and equipment -
and only 10% may go to overhead in administering the money - management,
accounting, etc.

Then instead of 60% of premiums going to paperwork and buildings and BS,
only 10% will, and 90% will go to direct health care.

And then between removing the staggering present indirect overhead and the
huge costs of delayed care, we won't even need 6.5%.

Hell, add a token $10 waivable co-pay per visit to slow down the lonely.


Guess what - Adding a layer of insurance paperwork only assures increased
costs... that is not news. So why do the Repubes want to increase health
care costs?

Because they lack a grasp of business fundamentals. Overhead costs.
