comments on a AP news story about the socialized healthcare bill

"Among tax increases likely to be adopted is an excise tax of as much as 35 percent on insurance with very high annual premiums, perhaps over $25,000."


This makes me sooooooo angry because what it would in effect do is to force my family to most likely give up our private insurance. There is no way we could manage that kind of increase. But then again that's their plan. To force people onto the government dole one way or the other. So while they technically would be letting people keep their private insurance, they would effectively cause most people to have to ditch it because of the prohibitive taxes on it. Its sneaky and its wrong. Its nothing more than backdoor socialism, which is something this administration has become a master at.

"Negotiators also are considering fees on the manufacturers of medical devices and on the makers of both brand name and generic drugs coming onto the market."

This would in effect stifle any future drug development or advancement in the medical community. No one would have the money to do anything with ,in particular the much needed research, esp not the government after it gets done trying to paying for everything and everyone.

I am sick of this cradle to the grave we will take care of you mentality by the liberals. I wish they would stop trying to "take care of me" and just stay out of my life because the more they try to help the worse they make things.
