Nagging Little Question For Obama

[Mr Roxy]

I know it is a silly little question

Where is the $$ for his Health Care initiative to come from? Those rich must really be rich because the old class warfare of taxing the rich ($ 250,000 for now)is part of the answer. I cannot believe he or his acolytes actually believe he can do it without reducing the $ 250 K # & taxing everyone. Another way to pay for it (according to the White House)is to reduce payments to doctors & insurance companies. Does anyone actually think these entities will not jack up their prices to pay?

I am glad I am getting money back from the stimulus as that money multiplied will go right back out of your pocket.

Be careful what you wish for as you may get it.Welcome to Utopia gang.

Taxing the rich is class warfare?

Oy. Guess you and Mrs R will have to splurge on Row G tickets to Spider-Man next year instead of Row D.

Another smash hit by Mr Roxy.

Can anyone parse or translate this sentence? I keep reading it over and over and can't figure out what it means.

"I am glad I am getting money back from the stimulus as that money multiplied will go right back out of your pocket."

Unnagging little answer for Roxy to whom answers to rhetorical questions are of little interest as he does not care to read or respond to them however here goes, a single payer healthcare system would knock approximately 30% of administrative costs right off the top, saving approximately 1000 dollars per patient annually. That would allow a person to buy many copies of Manilows and Elton Johns Vegas dvds should the be recorded for posterity I bet Obama didn't think of that huh?

Obama's health care plan isn't single payer, is it? I thought he was proposing a government run plan for anyone not covered by an employer plan, with incentives and disincentives to make it more attractive to employers to maintain existing plans. The primary point of contention was whether or not this would be mandatory; making it optional makes it more attractive to conservatives, but it also makes it more costly since healthy, young folks would be more likely to opt out.
