 gemfemfox says: Unreal. But wait, Obama PROMISED his taxes would not effect anyone making under $250k a year. You mean he lied? No way. So, once GWB's tax cuts for the rich expire, the average family making $40,000 a year see an increase of over $1000 in federal taxes. Then, Cap & Trade will cost us around $4000 a year in higher utilities and costs (and I think that is way underestimated) Then, forced health care will run another $12k for a family. Then what? Wonder how we will pay to feed our kids? Oh, that's right, tax the "rich" and give the rest of us food stamps. Great plan. Really doubt it will workout for most of us. I have absolutly no faith in the government in regards to anything. The only thing they're doing is writing a prescription for a revolution. Evidently this is a very complicated, difficult and emotional matter. I think it's probably better to wait and see the final outcome! What's obvious is that some people are not going to be satisfied. I happen to be in favor of a single-payer plan, but the notion of forcing people to purchase health care is absurd! That's simply pandering to the private insurers, who get to collect premiums from all of us who are required to be insured. (Just like auto insurance, as the article pointed out.) What this reflects, I think, is the influence of the health insurance industry on senators. No one who is really in favor of health care reform---especially those fr from the single-payer camp---wants to see a system like that. The idea is to make it easier for people to get health care, not to force them to pay more to insurance companies. [Sorry, my cat posted the unfinished comment for me--honest!] In our current system, the insurance companies are the problem, not the cure. If we take that $350 billion of estimated savings per year just in paperwork alone and add to it the $30 billion a year in industry profits and put that $380 billion total towards health care (since, after all, people paid all that additional money for health care in the first place) we should be able to add the 50 million people not currently covered without much trouble. Afte... Here is the problem The government does not want to reform anything, they want to grease the wheels of their biggest supporters. Adding FIFTY-THREE new government departments, with paid for life union employees (who won't give up a thing in the new system) IS NOT GOING TO SAVE A DIME. This is the end of freedom as we know it. Forced "health" (pills that are barely tested before unleashing on a guinea pig public, we still haven't learned anything). We HAVE to QUIT asking the government to "help" us. They only help their elitist friends, foreign interests and their own pocketbooks, legacies and wealth we can't even imagine. This country is on a collision course with reality. Sadly, the cliff we are being pushed off is going to be brutal. Washington, and their paying minions, will be just fine. I'm in Canada and please believe me when I say, don't let your government run your Health Plan. Government are designed to regulate - they are not designed to run organizations. They are inherently wasteful! |
