Balanced Budget
Health Care
Why is this charade continuing? The community organizer is completely incompetent.
Did I miss his smuggling of assault rifles to Mexican drug cartels? He also succeeded in increasing racial tension throughout the US. I think we managed to lose five million full time jobs since 2007. .
A more interesting chart would be the one that showed all the places that are tapping your wallet to pay for healthcare of one sort or another. The ones that immediately come to mind are:
Health insurance (~20% or more goes to pay for under compensated Medicaid &Medicare)
Payroll taxes
Workers comp
Cigarette taxes ($2/pack in my state) for those foolish enough to smoke
Income taxes (for Medicaid)
Anything you buy that might be used in healthcare (i.e. rubber gloves)
It’s no wonder that when someone looked at the numbers, a low wage worker ($25-30k/yr) has 39% of their total earnings diverted to the health care system while a moderate income worker ($50-60k/yr) has ~28% of total earnings diverted. Another outrage, a third of that money is wasted which amounts to nearly $7k/household just to cover the waste.
The ACA is simply a method that insures everyone keeps the money flowing into the American healthcare system.
No, it’s about power. The Insane Left is very anxious to show they can do whatever they want, and resistance is futile. Obviously, the only way to deal with that is for every individual to openly resist–massive civil disobedience.
For the main # just call 1-800-EVIL-LIBS.
Or 1-800-LibE-ralS.
