Ask an older person in military contracting how well cost plus contracting reduced costs.

I’ll bet this is first time the Federal Govt has ever dictated profit...Thanks to our African style nutcase-dictator. It all started in Hawaii while chooming around and being mentored (molested?) by Frank Marshall Davis

Meaningless PR stunt, as the rates get jacked up per percentage.

The president is a fool. An arrogant fool, but a fool nevertheless. Perhaps he should read up on Diocletian’s freezing of food prices in fourth century.

So how about we cap the net worth increase of every public office holder at 15% over his net worth at the time of taking office?

And let’s do the same to the faceless bureaucrats who administer this crap.

.....and everyone in the IRS, FDA, FCC. SSA, TSA, FBI, DHS, HHS, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera (done in best Yul Brynner voice.)

How come we can’t tell the Street Punk in Chief to stick it where the Sun don’t shine? I believe we the people have spoken loudly for four plus years now telling him, and the rest of government we don’t want this healthcare plan.

Why are we still saying no when we already said NO?

What do we have to do to impress upon those that allegedly represent we the people that we the people are not happy with the shoving of their stuff in our faces?

Is it going to take the revolution I keep reading about?

This crap has got to stop, and stop now.

How many other ways are there to say NO? Perhaps we should try one of them.

-——Overhead expenses and profits would be capped at 15 percent———

Humm....as expenses creep up profits will go down...

Services will be cut...

I wonder if “overhead “ expenses include fixed and variable costs....and did they change the depreciation rules ?

Huge impact on the bottom line...

There should be a LAWSUIT taken to SCOTUS over the ‘dictating profit’ or ‘profit cap’ portion of 0bamacare; UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

Who needs economic literacy when you’ve got social justice, right?

The idea is not to dictate profit but to crush the system under so many rules.

No bidders? The government will just have to run it for you.

Just think of the ‘projected savings’ on a single payer system!

When you include contractors how many people work for state, county, city, federal governments in America? My guess is 40% of the work force

Does anyone else feel we're living Atlas Shrugged?

Idiocy. If you want something done, let people make money doing it and it will be done.
You don't even have to pay them with taxpayer money, just stand back and watch.

how would you cap “overhead” expenses when the government has only just started to make all their demands?

My middle-aged internist just "retired" this past week. The band of 5 foreign doctors who have moved into his offices have now taken over.

I just received a letter that effective May 1 the new occupants will discontinue serving Medicare patients, recognizing only Humana, Optimum, Freedom and WellCare.

"We ask that if you do not have one of the insurances listed above that you find another physician at your earliest convenience."

These doctors all know that Medicare will not reimburse diddly-squat and are adjusting accordingly....through early "retirement" and other maneuvers.

Folks, this was dropped on me like a bombshell after just getting out of the hospital from a bout of pneumonia. Despite being ill, I had to scramble to find a new family doctor and get my records to him. It was a nightmare.

I urge you to check with your family medical providers to see what's up with them. Press your doctor even if he's as lovable as Doctor Gillespie....because they may be secretive about any changes they're making. Check out your parent's or family seniors' future status for them also.

It may be difficult to find a Medicare doctor who won't be on overload.

A word to the wise....... it's here.....and ObamaScarey is NOT going to be kindler and gentler.

Every new thing revealed about 0bamaCare convinces me more and more that two years from now the health care system will come to a dead stop as no providers or suppliers will be able to comply and the FedMob keeps relentlessly pushing Forward.
