Old NFO gets right to the heart of the matter. Our healthcare system needs a major overhaul, but I don't believe Obamacare is the solution. Essentially, it's back on the table:

"It WAS and IS a Tax, plain and simple! And the true cost is going to be HIGH!!! There is some BS out there that it will 'only' cost $95/person/year... Yeah, right..."
I don't think it will be scrapped, although it might. I do think it will be changed.
Had a boss once who would say, "That is not my monkey, and you are not giving it to me". Looks like SCOTUS told Congress, "That is your monkey".
ReplyDeleteOf course its going to be expensive. But necesary, you have tens of millions of people without coverage and that is just deplorable, it really is. Let me also assure you this IS NOT the first steps on that slippery slope to socialism. It is one proper step towards caring for your fellow citizens. Good for Obama!....Allan
ReplyDeleteAs I said, Allan, something is necessary, but what are the chances this is a good bill? A tax sold an "not a tax," and much of Congress didn't know what it entailed when they voted on it, what could possibly go wrong?
ReplyDeleteI'm a moderate who believes that a wealthy nation has a moral obligation to help the helpless, but because of out-of-control bureaucracy, that's not what is happening. Too much of our money is spent protecting predators and parasites, who are not helpless. There's nothing left for those who need it.
