I'm a little concerned after watching is news conference.
* He said 2/3 of the cost of the plan would be funded by money they are wasting anyway. You mean the same folks that were wasting it, are now going to spend it wisely?
* The government is going to introduce greater efficiency into the health care system to reduce costs. Yeah, sure, that's going to happen.
* That whole blue pill/red pill example he used seemed more like a "Matrix" reference than a cost saving explanation. Is this some kind of fore shadowing warning?>>>
If you are getting a`$5 co-pay for yourself, what is the problem? I am paying over $5k a year for bankruptcy insurance and medical expenses are out of pocket.
There is no real reform in this package. Just a transfer of $'s, more taxes and the beginning of higher taxes. The 8% they are talking about on today's payroll, will be 25% tomorrow and %40 next year. Taxes never go down.
The Gooberm$nt is paid to keep the Ins. Industry in-line, honest and non-fraudulent (?). They don't. My insurance premiums don't go to my healthcare. They go to Sen. Lugar and Sen. Bayh's re-election campaign.
This spending will also include more freebies for criminals, illegals and of course, for KASH contractors. More un-leveling of the playing field.
Where do you see a change here PC?
