The Affordable CAR Act of 2014 – The Free Patriot

The U.S. government has just passed a new law entitled “The Affordable CAR Act” declaring that every citizen MUST purchase a new car by April, 2014.

These ‘affordable’ cars will cost an average of $54,000-$155,000 each. This does not include taxes, tags, registration, fuel, maintenance, or repair costs.

This law has been passed because, until now, typically only wealthy and financially responsible people have been able to purchase cars. This new law ensures that every American can now have an ‘affordable’ car of their own, because everyone is ‘entitled’ to a new car. If you purchase your car before the end of the year, you will receive four ‘free’ tires (does not include mounting).

In order to make sure everyone purchases an ‘affordable car,’ the cost of owning a car will increase on average of 250-400% per year. This way, wealthy people will pay more for something that other people don’t want or can’t afford to maintain. But, to be fair, people who can’t afford to maintain their car will be regularly fined and children (under the age of 26) can use their parents car(s) to drive until they turn 27, after which date they must purchase their own car.

If you already have a car, you can keep yours (not really). If you don’t want or don’t need a car, you are required to buy one anyhow. If you refuse to buy one or can’t afford one, you will be regularly fined $800 until you purchase one, or face imprisonment. If you cannot (or don’t want to) purchase an ‘affordable car’ from a private business, you can buy a starter car from the U. S. government ‘affordable car exchange.’ Such a car will have the basic necessities and will only cost ‘slightly more’ than a similar car purchased from a private business. Plus, since your tax dollars will subsidize the purchase of a car from the U. S. government’s ‘affordable car exchange,’ it will appear that you are getting a good deal.

Failure to use the car will also result in fines. People living in areas with no access to roads are not exempt. Pre-existing conditions such as age, motion sickness, experience, knowledge, nor lack of desire are not acceptable excuses for not using your car.

A government review board will decide everything, including when, where, how often, and for what purposes you can use your car, along with how many people can ride in your car. The board will also determine if one is too old or healthy enough to be able to use their car, and will also decide if your car has out lived its usefulness or if you must purchase specific accessories like spinning rims or a newer and more expensive car.

Those that can afford luxury cars will be required to do so … it’s only fair. The government will also decide the color for each car. Failure to comply with these rules will result in fines and possible imprisonment.

Government officials are exempt from this new law. If they want a car, they and their families can obtain cars free at the expense of tax payers. This includes lifetime maintenance and automatic adjustments for fuel charges.

Unions, bankers, and mega companies with large political affiliations ($$$), Muslims and Amish are also exempt.

Yep. I don't want to even think about Friday. I have so much stuff to catch-up on. morning, tibberoni.

are you even sure you want that plan? do you know who is included in that particular network????????? very restricted access under all of those ''affordable'' plans seems to be the next big problem ..........

good for our frannie who no longer has to worry about how to navigate this mess

In some states, it’s already recognized as a problem. It’s magnified in New Hampshire because just one insurer, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, is offering plans there through the new marketplace. The company’s new network for individual plans excludes 10 of the state’s 26 frontline hospitals.

It is my CURRENT provider and my CURRENT network. It has ZERO deductible. It has $500/year maximum out-of-pocket. It has low co-pays. Durable medical equipment is only 5%. Etc etc etc. It's 60% less than I pay now (with a $1250 deductible, $6500 out-of-pocket, etc etc etc).

YES I want it. I wanted it 5 weeks ago this past Tuesday.

I do not want it 8 times.

You're probably right. I'm already starting to feel it... it is Thursday and we all know what that means: Thursday Night Football. Yay!

 

[tiburonfirst]

that's very good news, bear!

but don't expect them to delete your 7 superfluous policies till some more people sign up - if they do it now it might decrease participation numbers by a couple percentage points


btw - discounting the federal contribution how does the premium look then compared to your old policy?

 

[SilverBear]

Any explanation?...

... I am mixing a meatloaf concoction. ALL ingredients were in the REFRIGERATOR, some (peppers, onions, tomato paste) were room temperature. NO SALT.

I was mixing all the stuff by hand (ooey gooey) and ICE CRYSTALS were forming. ICE.

I had to stop due to cold.

How/why is this happening???
