New obamacare findings - very very interesting

The tax payers are picking up 80% of the bill if someone's annual cost is between $45,000-$250,000.  So the insurers are ONLY on the hook for between the deductible and $45k but their prices are triple and quadruple what most were paying before.

 

That $3,000,000,000,000 estimate just went right out the window.

 

Worse than that, does this mean that the .gov gets to decide on treatment rationing since they're paying for it, or does that remain purely in the hands of the insurance company?

These will be one in the same, as soon as the first bail out comes around.

Yes there will be rationing and death panels before it is over with.

The whole thing was doomed when Nancy said " you have to pass it to know what is in it..."

True. I meant O care, but yeah, this set a tone for the new pace of the country.

Not just the pace of the country. but it's fiscal and physical health. And the prognosis is pretty grimm for both.

A bit of an understatement. Down right disheartening.

Just remember who was fighting on the floor of the Senate to defund this monstrosity and those who supported his efforts.  :whistle:

It sickens me that a large portion of our country is in support of this.

Don't believe that's necessarily true. Libs are more outspoken than regular folks so that may be the blind support you hear about. But like I said, move along...

 

They want us to shut up and follow the cow/sheep trail.

Yea, that kinda happens when about half the folks in this country don't pay federal income taxes.
