NY’s two Senators, Schumer and Gillibrand, voted in favor of the Health Care legislation, but the sad news for all new Yorkers is, that regardless how poor they are, they WILL pay more for Health Care, if the bill gets signed.
Let’s not focus now on the fact that half the percentage of the population currently uninsured will continue to be uninsured even when the full “benefits” of HCR kick in by late 2013. Let’s just focus on what HCR will cost NY annually, which in turn WILL cost the poor little man, a lot of money that they don’t have:.
According to Governor Paterson, HCR will every year cost the state $1 billion. What happened last time the Governor needed an extra $1 billion bucks? He raised DMV fees on EVERYONE, rich and poor alike. Same will happen here: payments to Hospitals and clinics will go down, or the state will come after you to get the money, in form of even higher sales tax, and other chargers that you can’t avoid.
Listen poor guy: nothing in America is free, and stop buying the junk from the Dems that they raise tax only on the rich.
Great Point, now even the democratic governor of our state complained that this will cost new york to much (it would be nice from schumer and gillibrand to get a sweet deal for ny like nelson got for nebraska)

big deal. it will cost everyone. if they were interested in helping they would allow full and complete deductions for anything healthcare related from insurance, to co-pays, to anything! they would also allow interstate competition.

as far as I know (and correct me if I am wrong) this bill is not just for the uncovered pepole but for the pepole that do have covrage to lower their premiums, so I belive that it makes sence to pay a little more cents at the DMV once a year in order to save some dollars on health care
