Health Care Bill

[scotty]

Twisp, really ??

Ok, small busines is now offering health care to its employees to benefit from the tax breaks they get for doing so.

Are you people really reading the above sentence ?

"Small business is now OFFERING health care....."

Ummm, hello ?? Anyone can "offer" health care. In other words, small business is making it available for its employee's. The employee still has to BUY it !! And guess what people, it aint cheap !! My family health insurance through my company is $660.00/month !!!!!!!! So small business gets a tax break for saying, "hey, we "offer' health insurance, you gotta buy the expensive ........, but hey, we offer it"

I dont care how many more people are signing on to it, the real question is, how much is it costing them ? Believe me, I day dream daily about the things I could do with $660/month for my family and church.

Now for the Obama Healthcare Bill. My premium is going up to $695/month in March. Thank you Mr President !! Oh yeah, and my Medical flex card no longer covers over the counter medication, which happens to be a huge part of our medical expenses. Yep, thank you Mr President!

If the courts dont overturn this as being unconstitutional, I only pray the new congress wont fund it and lets it die by the road side.

Perhaps you should have kept reading the entire article. You would have seen the examples given where Health Insurance providers are reporting an uptick in new customers from small businesses with fewer than 50 employees.

But hey, don't bother reading the entire article before commenting. That would be CRAZY.

Cmon man !! Again I say, Seriously ??

I understand the people are buying it, what Im telling you is that its costing us a fortune, and its going up. But people like me (with a wife and three daughters) have to have it, no matter what it cost. The country needs a plan that lowers premiums, not a plan that makes it more available. Its always been available, only now its the same price through a company as it is if you were to buy it straight from the provider.

So you can be sarcastic all you like, but for those of us who live the effects of this bill, your just lipsyncing a politicians talking points .
