You ain't seen nothing yet. They just added a lot of extra liability
to the insurance plans and did nothing to restrict the price they
will
charge for it.
by liability
right wingers mean 'human beings'.
Liability is the ability to pay to treat those human beings. You seem,
to believe health care is free.
death is free. is that what you're advocating? we spend a **** load
of money subsidizing wall street, large agriculture,etc
your preference is to pay for this by letting the weak, the ill, the
unemployed die?
This bill has dumped those people on Medicaid so it will show up in
your state taxes or the money will have to be taken away from other
state programs (roads, cops, firemen and schools). Again you think
there is a free lunch out there somewhere.
I suggest you take a long hard look at Greece. They thought there was
a free lunch too. Our deficit problem is really only a few points
better than theirs (9% of GDP vs 13%)
Our economy is nothing like Greece.
Our problems are not as bad but we have the same problem. Too many
people will be collecting entitlements vs the number working, very
soon.
Yes, not as bad. Nobody is claiming the problems we have are trivial.
