I agree with all your statements, can't add anything substantive to the discussion 'cause it's all been covered.

The other big question in my mind has been: How can the govt. guarantee participation from everybody? Let's start with illegals and millions of others that operate under the radar. This plan again, like every govt. plan, is borne on the backs of the hard working honest USAmerican taxpayer. The govt. pays for nothing they take it from us working class schmoes and redistribute it. I'm FED up with this crap and its been getting worse and worse regardless of the parties in power....

<br />And don't point to that homeless man sleeping off an alcohol buzz under the park bench and say "What if he has cancer? What then?". <br /><br />He made his choices at the same time I made mine. I never made much money during my working years but I made the right decisions because I thought about the future and where I wanted to be when I retired. Some people do whatever they want, whatever they feel like doing, then cry to the government to rescue them from their bad decisions. <br... [ More ]

<br /> If current proposals are approved, the end result will be more small businesses shutting down because the employers can't afford to pay the premiums, and more large corporations will move operations overseas in order to maintain competitive prices in their respective markets.

How it will be paid for. I am not an economist or have taken economy 101 but it takes common sense to figure it out.

All employers who do not supply mandatory health insurance to their employees because of the cost factor will need to increase the cost of their product(s) or services to supply the mandatory health care. Employers who supply health care to the employee but not family members will be required to supply it or pay additonal wages to compensate the employee for the mandatory health care for their family members. Employees and the self employed who do not receive health care from their employer will need to receive more money in wages or self employed services to pay for the mandatory health care for themselves and their family members. That still would require the employer to raise their prices.

If the feds create higher taxation for those qualified for free national health care will cause the buisnesses to increase costs.

Now all the above is going to create inflation. So with the higher costs of products and services everyone will still need more money for their products or wages to compensate for inflation.

You all should get the drift on what I am getting at.

What you are going to end up with is one big vicious cycle until it balances out.
