…Thanks so much for reforming the health care system that will cover 94% of the population up from the 88%-90% legal population that are anyway covered.
… Thanks for coming up with a plan that will be “self-sustaining” and “deficit neutral” just as social security was supposed to be.
Now let me ask you a few questions, Mr. and Mrs. Democrat:
… The government will increase taxes as early as next year, to cover this HCR bill. Will the government “borrow” all that money to cover other expanses just as it did from Social Security? Or will the money really be available when the benefit portion of the HCR plan kicks in three-four years from today?
… I am sure you are aware of the Thompson Retuers analysis that because doctors fear being sued, they over-subscribe medications and run extra tests, at a wasted annual cost of up to $300 billion, or as CNN reported back in August, the over-testing costs annually above $200 billion. Don’t you think it’s time to curtail frivolous lawsuits and the hefty portions that attorneys bite out from their poor clients, rather than taxing the “runaway” profit margins of health insurance companies who earn on their money less than what you earn on your Vanguard investments?
… Waste and fraud, including the waste and fraud that drips through the government-run Medicare, costs annually up to $200 billion. Don’t you think cutting back fraud is a good way to “raise” money for our health care system?
… Don’t you think you should first show that the already-existing public options such as Medicare, Medicaid, and the Veterans Affairs hospitals can be more efficient and at a better cost before you will dump millions of young-to-middle age Americans into the same hell-hole as seniors and veterans are placed?
… A lot Doctors don’t want to accept new Medicare patients because the government pays doctors less than what you think regular Union workers deserve. Based on this, how many Doctors, do you think, will want to serve the millions on the Public Options that will reimburse doctors on Medicare-levels or even worse?
… Can you please let me keep some of my income money, in addition giving a tax deduction to people for every dime they might spend on Medical/Dental/vision costs?
… I don’t have Health Insurance. Do you think that if I can afford an “extra” $900 per family member for health insurance, I will rather give you the money in form of a fine for not buying health insurance in the first place?
… One more thing, Mr. Democrat. To cover the cost of living increases, you give yourself every year an increase of a few percent to your three-digit salary. When will you start giving us all a yearly tax cut to reflect our cost of living increases?
