I don’t know where this health care mess is going to end up, but I just signed up for my company’s plan for next year, it the total is going to be $10,500. This is just nuts.

Even though the Dims are denying it, I believe the estimated $4,000 increase in the cost of a health plan is just what they desire. Remember, they are going to tax any amount over $8,000 paid for an employee's health insurance at 40%, so they need to get as many people into that taxable bracket as possible.

Which brings up an interesting point from Hot Air's Green Room: At what point is the tax for not signing up for a health plan going to be cheaper than the health insurance itself. If it costs me $500 per month in extra tax or $600 per month for a health care premium, why pay the extra $100 just to carry insurance?

Especially since no insurance company can refuse to insure me due to a pre-existing condition, why not wait until the symptoms show up, then start paying the premium?

Perhaps they are just playing the odds that Americans can't add.
