Right, and if Brown wins that bill goes down in defeat. We're all better off that way.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

It seems like a lot of people actually think politicians are acting in the best interest of their supposed ideologies and not in the best interest of their political careers and pocketbooks. I think voting "the lesser of two evils" has got us real far as a nation
By the way I think the proposed healthcare bill is a joke. More political pandering on behalf of health, pharma and insurance lobbies.
Do you think the house is going to agree to the same bill the senate passed? I dontJohnG@lt wrote:

No, but why chance it? I am neither Dem nor Republican, to me they both have illogical platforms etc. What I do care about is that one party has sole power right now and that's about the worst thing that can ever happen in a republic.eleven bravo wrote:

They won't. It'll take awhile to reconcile the two bills into one that will be brought before the President. The Republicans are just trying to drag it out longer in hopes of Democrats eventually quitting or getting voted out.eleven bravo wrote:

Yes I have health insurance. No it's under my parents, if you are over the age of 18 can be covered by your parents insurance as long as you're a full time student, which I am.eleven bravo wrote:
you have health insurance? and if so, is it under your name?
so technically your folks will get taxed, not you. ok just wanted to know.Macbeth wrote:

http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/Stories … r-npr.aspxAlthough the tax is to be imposed on insurers, the effects are likely to trickle down to consumers. Insurers or employers might tinker with benefits, for example, by increasing deductibles to reduce premium costs to below the threshold. In addition, more than half of employees with insurance work for companies that "self-insure," meaning the firms pay for their workers' health bills on their own. These employers would be required to pay the excise tax themselves and most analysts, including the CBO, estimate that businesses will respond by redesigning benefits to have lower premiums, higher deductibles and copayments and terminating employer contributions to health and flexible spending accounts. But economists say employers may pass the savings to workers in the form of higher wages.

We're all going to get taxed. The largest piece of the health care bill is a massive expansion of Medicaid. So, Obama gets to keep his campaign promise of no taxes on the middle class and kicks the can down to the state level. Every state in the country is going to have to raise it's taxes if the bill is passed. We're all going to pay for it.eleven bravo wrote:

That still sucks. And eventually once Mac leaves the flock for good he'll get taxed.eleven bravo wrote:

There isn't anything wrong with that. Nobody's said that.Macbeth wrote:
I still work full time and go to school full time. I just use my parents health insurance. What the hell is wrong with that? I'm sure I'm entitled to use it as their child, not like I'm sucking lowing's health insurance.
