O yeah! Another 10% (or 25%) tax, excuse me, fee to NYC. This is going to go well.

What a weener....

OK ... so those who already have been forced into Obamacare will get the pleasure of paying into Weinercare as well.

How you control costs in government healthcare is easy.

The government decides how much to put in healthcare, and that’s all that’s available.

The fact that people will die on waiting lists is secondary.

NYC is unionized. Did “Flash” Weiner check with AFSCME on this?

[MaxMax]

Government no longer wants to do anything to protect the people. It's all control now
at the end of a Gun, and threat of going to prison for just saying No.

"As such, Weiner wants city workers to pay 10% of their own salaries for health care—and if they are smokers, a whopping 25%."

How much of their salaries should they pay if they are perverts, and take pictures of their naughty parts and send them to unsuspecting cell phone users?

I'm sure NYC unions will be more than happy to tell their members that their health care costs are going from 0% to 25%. Obviously, this pie-in-the-sky scheme will never happen.

What an idiot. That isn’t “single-payer,” it’s called “self-insuring.” A lot of companies do that, and it isn’t a laboratory for anything.

This is the problem with politicians who have never lived and worked in the real world. He proposes establishing health care financing for a single employer (New York City) using a means available to all employers (and used by many) right now, and thinks it is a “laboratory” for destroying the very system he’ll still be part of.

I truly cannot even find the words to describe how ignorant he is.

s such, Weiner wants city workers to pay 10% of their own salaries for health care—and if they are smokers, a whopping 25%.

If he were to be honest it would 50% forale homosexuals.

But I thought there were no more pre-existing conditions.
