To do this, the federal government will tax 8% of your income. It will go through that bureaucracy, be handed to another bureaucracy, and then given to yet another bureaucracy which may or may not distribute what little of the remaining funds to doctors and health care workers.
This, it is viewed by liberals, as being 'affordable and accessible.' People with guns taking money, giving it to themselves and their buddies, and MAYBE somewhere along the line handing it to the intended recipients.
To put it in perspective, the average 'family' in the United States just got obligated to spend $2400 on health care a year. That's at least a quarter trillion dollars a year, but only half of the money that's going to be flowing into it as a result of this act. $4,800 a year - this is the food budget that the USDA believes that the average family should have, should they fall below the poverty level.
In what way is it considered 'affordable' to take a family's food budget by force and waive a wand over it and call it health care?
Of course, it's a planned part of this bill that the taxes don't go into effect until AFTER Obama's supposed reelection. This will give the opportunity for the serfs..err, slaves.. err, taxpayers to get used to not having food and having to stand in long lines to visit doctors.
These days the Federale bureaucratic is one huge rip off machine that exists to feather the nests of the drones who work there. Taxpayers are helped only coincidentally. Taxpayers exist to pay the wages for this dead weight that increasingly is dominated by various affirmative action hires such as gays, trans gender, lesbians, blacks, some Hispanics, women (yes they get affirmative action), foreign born peoples of colors
Less that 50% of 0-Care taxes will ever filter down to patients. Numerous Federale klepto-crats will skim a piece of the action ...when they are not too busy surfing for porn
