Allow me to ask this question: "If the company you work for pays 250 dollars per month for your health coverage, and we go a socialized system that cost your employer 200 dollars a month in additional taxes, how much money does your employer loose by having the federal system?
The problem with ALL the arguments about the tax costs of a National Health Care Plan; NONE OF THEM ADDRESS THE COST WE ARE NOW PAYING. How stupid do you have to be to not understand that the one plan replaces and eliminates the cost of the other?
Health Insurance is PRIVATIZED COMMUNISM. FROM EACH ACCORDING TO HIS ABILITY TO EACH ACCORDING TO HIS NEED. You Can't Collect if you Can't pay the Premiums, and YOU DON'T GET A REFUND OF YOUR PREMIUMS FOR STAYING HEALTHY.
Walter Reed is a government run hospital, it's a great example. Let the government run our health care system, this is what you get. Yes, our health care system has problems as it is now. To simply throw up our hands and say "Here politicans, we can't handle this anymore so you do it for us." is a recipe for disaster. I think most Americans are smart enough to realise this and will not support Hillary.
Not even CLOSE to being the same thing... no where in the ball park even.
I also heard on the News Today about Comcast going to contract out some of their departments to part--time/none benefit people... maybe THAT is why I am having such a hard time with them... ya think???? Well... it relates to the same thing... anyone here that works for Comcast will have a fit and say NO, that isn't going to happen, and that isn't your problem...
When in REALITY... it is, and no one will even KNOW until the day it is decided... I used Comcast as an Example here... because they are now getting the Dish's underbidding them at such a fast pace, that John Q. Public will probably at least listen to their sales pitich, which IS quite impressive, by the way...
Other companies, BIG ONES, are getting their affairs in order, to get rid of the long-term employees, hire part time ones with NO benefits...
I think Big Business FINALLY got Bush and Cheney's message... on EXACTLY how to make their money while dumping Americans all in one fell swoop...
Sad huh?
