The next step in destroying private healthcare. Renewal for insurance was this month. Some of my employees who are paid well, and have half their insurance paid, wanted to drop out of the insurance plan, and not pay their half, because Obama was going to give them healthcare.
Any reduction in the plan will force the remaining people into a higher cost, pool, which will make more of them drop out. More uninsured people needing the government.

Looking back at the Beatles, “If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street, If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat, If you get too cold, I’ll tax the heat, If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet.......Cause I’m the Taxman, Yea, aaa, I’m the Taxman.

Everyone wants MORE affordable Health Care and Energy. So what does Obama do? He TAXES them! Is this the f-ing change we were hoping for? This country has too many morons. This ain’t rocket science folks, it is simple common sense. We are being run into the ground by a bunch of idiots.

In your world, people are taxed for healthcare and denied it unless they meet your criteria.
Have you tried a more liberal site? You need to if you are going to spout this BS.

I find this interesting. If you look at the European models of state-run healthcare...none of them tax a guy for what he’s putting into the system. Nor do they tax the guy when extra costs at the hospital are involved.
Most families would lessen their coverage in some fashion and thus have less protection. I’m assuming that this is the goal of the plan.
