Re: Go Figure said by jester121:b. If you claim to believe that that is the real price tag will be anything other than several multiples of $150 billion per year, you are being intellectually dishonest. BINGO! The same exact claim was made about Medicare in the 1960s when it was first implemented. We'd be spending "only" $9 billion on it in 1990... LOL.
said by jester121:c. This won't do anything for employers except cause them to cancel their health plans and send employees to the government dole. So much for $150 billion... Which is exactly what happened in Tennessee when they tried this in the 1990s. Hawaii recently scrapped a similar program because of this same exact problem. -- Blagojevich / Madoff 2012! |
