Help me out RW and crew. The idea is to get otherwise healthly people to sign on to help pay for the sick in the country. True? That's the basic gist in my mind anyway.<br /><br />So, and help me if I'm being obtuse, why in the FUCK do we not just raise the medicare tax and have medicare for all? Is that too fucking easy? Are we not paying a tax anyway since enforcement is through the other great satan of the government, the IRS?<br /><br />Current individual rate is 1.45%...2.9% with employer contribution. This happens whether you have 2 or 200 people. If the system is working, albeit in debt because we keep borrowing from those funds as well, then double the fucking thing to 2.9% (5.8% total...or raise to 6%). Seems like a pretty goddamn easy solution. But wait, here's the kicker:<br /><br />INSURANCE COMPANIES<br /><br />The ACA will never work. It'lll sputter along and be tweaked here and there, but rates and medical expenses are going to keep going up (at least for those drawing a paycheck) putting people deeper into debt, or what I like to call a consumer coma, in spite of what the ACA proclaims. And the leaders of this...cough, cough, wheeze...great nation of ours, who by the way are vested fully in said fraud companies, full well fucking know it.<br /><br />Buckle up Democons and Republicants.

Option 1, keep my plan the same, my monthly premiums go up 10% for 2014. Option 2, choose the ACA plan (Obamacare) which will allow pre-existing conditions (don't have any) and drop my deductable slightly. Oh, and my monthly premiums go up 322%. Called them up after a week to clarify some things. Turns out, keeping my existing plan for 10% more is just them (insurance company) delaying the "hit". After 2014, I have no choice but to change. And that 322% increase, yeah, it will most likely be more than that. So, curious if anyone has had better success than me?TheFanSuckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04105168746797457961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6769468336490808451.post-26562688428099470722013-10-25T11:25:37.432-05:002013-10-25T11:25:37.432-05:00Surely you two can come up with something better t...Surely you two can come up with something better to say than my spell check program. <br /><br />I think RW has mentioned Pizza Buzz from the very beginning days of this website.
