When does that happen? My costs doubled

There are some nice sounding things in the list. Unfortunately, they
are unfunded mandates. It's all of us that have to fund them now. In
this case, the dims taxed us indirectly and without calling it a tax.
The huge tax increase is coming as well.

Untrue and a gross exaggeration. In a sense, the military is "unfunded"
for
a period of time. Most of these mandates require that the insurance
companies, who've been denying people coverage, stop those practices. So,
I'm still waiting for you to tell us which one's you'd prefer not to
have....

Oh wait... you're hiding from me.


I agree we won't raise taxes, that is not politically viable. We will
just borrow more money. Unfortunately the insurance companies do not
have that option so rates are going higher.



For-profit companies should not be involved in people's basic health
decisions. Still... no one has answered the question of which items you
would prefer to do without...
