#2 If "comprehensive" is different care from others in the program, it is penalized as a "Cadillac" policy. Premiums will continue to rise at two and three times the rate of inflation; coverage will be reduced in an effort to cut costs.
#3 It is what it is. The Republican substitute also covers pre-existing conditions.
#4 Tax credits are one time events, per employee, and hardly offset the expense of offering coverage, especially for a long term employee. Instead, companies will move their employee over to Centralize Government Control or hire fewer employees. Greeting Comrades - you commies finally got what you want.
#5 Again, a nonsensical "benefit" that does not offset the cost to the employer.
#6 I told you the 30 million are going into Medicare/Medicaid. It already has 39 trillion in unfunded liabilities. What do you think 30 million additional bodies will do to this debt - but if you are a Democrat, you really don't care, right?
#7 Seems fair enough, but did we need to 180 new federal agencies to get this done?
#8 Statistically speaking, this particular population does not get sick. That is why they are in the program. Premiums are increased to family plans for young people who will not need this insurance, typically. And when they turn 27, ooooops, suddenly they will have to come up with 400-550 dollars a month for individual coverage.
#9 I am a 67 year old senior and this is crap. In fact, we lose much of our medical deductions, under this law and may lose our home mortgage interest deduction as Central Government tries to balance its books. This will cost my wife and I an additional $2,000 a month on our fixed incomes. Thanks to all the fools that supported this mess.
#10 Really. But more and more procedures will be eliminated and a doctor's prognosis is predetermined by a board of non-professionals.
So gullible ... Smithson is a lie machine.
