Reformers' Claims Just Don't Add Up

• America has a health care crisis.

---------------------------------

America does not have a health care crisis.

America has a welfare crisis.

My wife pays a bit over 25% of her gross salary for our insurance.
Quite a "tax" there, huh?
But we have other income.
Her workmates make less than her, and have more people to insure.
Guess what they pay for insurance?
Nothing.
They go to the emergency room.
For everything.
Can't afford anything else.
I wonder who pays for those e-room services.
Neat system, eh?

Sounds like you need to get a job with some benefits, and rescue your
wife from having to support you and from providing you with your own
health care.

Why would I do that? *I like retirement, and I'm doing just fine.
And so is she.
Sounds like you should leave the sermons to Father Ryan.
You're not good at it.

--Vic

Ah... it sounded like you were complaining about the high cost of
insurance. But now I understand that you're both "retired", with your
wife choosing to work at a basic job where the insurance cost 25% of
her pay. Nothing wrong with that.

I agree that the people who choose to not insure, then use the
emergency room for free health care is a problem. However, if you're
rooting for national health care so your wife can quit work and I'll
have to pick up your health care tab... well, I have a problem with
that.

Preach on.
