Comments on: Study Predicts Ballooning Health Costs

Hospital-Building Boom And Cost Shifting From The Uninsured Are To Blame, Audit Finds

[hypnotoad72]

How can one predict what has clearly been happening for many years?

How will they monitor costs? Maybe if they went to Disneyland instead of Honolulu for their annual meetings... :)

Does the w stand for war or the chimp trying to run the country.

I like Obama''s plan, which lets you keep your current insurance if you want, and offers help paying premiums for those with lower incomes, or you can buy into a government plan instead.

Here''s the entire proposal:

Wow, what a revelation, a prediction of rising health costs.

Personally, I don''''t like Obama or McCain that well. We''''re screwed either way...

Well with an attitude like that I''m sure you''re right.

Universal health care is starting to look better and better. I just hope Obama can get the job done. Sill happy you voted out the only candidate in the race with an actual plan...for anything?

Republican Logic:


Free health care paid for by U.S. taxpayers for all Iraqis is a very good idea.

Free or government subsidized health care here at home is a very bad idea.

lol!

Meanwhile all the other major industrialized nations have free health care.

Instead of having health care in the U.S., we invade Iraq and spend three trillion dollars trying to fix what we''ve broken there.

Thanks Republicans.

Silly little Americans. Health care is only for rich people.


lol!

A vote for McCain is a vote for a pay cut.

A vote for McCain is a vote for $10 per gallon gas.

A vote for McCain is a vote for a bigger house and a bigger car for faith_in_w.

A vote for McCain is a vote for your children to go hungry.

The choice is simple, direct and self-evident. faith_in_w is TELLING YOU WHAT TO EXPECT. MCCAIN IS GOING TO STICK HIS HAND IN YOUR POCKET AND TAKE YOUR WAGES AND GIVE THEM TO faith_in_w. For no reason other than that he CAN.

What are you going to do? Vote your own self-interest, not McCain''s and not Bush''s.

harpoot, who says I am an employee?

"Employees are then FREE to shop for their own healthcare at their own expense."

Boy, that''s great! Take a pay cut effectively and then shop for health insurance with less money. What are you smoking faith?? Old tires?

Look faith_in_w:

If you currently have employer paid health care it is COMPENSATION - get it? It was negotiated at the time of hiring. They aren''t "entitlements" any more than WAGES are.

So essentially McCain''s campaign promise (and one you agree with) is "vote for me and I''ll cut your pay".

Hmmm....unlike you I think I''ll vote for my self-interests, and those clearly aren''t represented by McCain

[faith_in_w]

I like John McCains plan. It lets employers free from the yoke of employee ENTITLEMENTS such as health care. Employees are then FREE to shop for their own healthcare at their own expense.
