How strange, B-easy thinks that you would no longer get coverage by your employer? The plan says you would have to have coverage. It doesn''t say your employer can''t provide it? Under that plan there are many options for getting insurance. And that you can keep coverage you already have.

What BS!

If they think America suffers from economic woes due to lack of consumer spending now--it is nothing compared to how much LESS spending there would be if our FICA payments increased by 5 to 10% of our incomes.

Bet businesses LOVE that--but will YOU? 10% for some of us will mean going from paying about 4K per year now to paying almost 20K per year based on NET only!!!

Now--why should someone pay 20K per year for the same health care that another pays maybe 1300.00 for? Because they make more, their health care should cost more? Spare me---this woman is a sick azz menace besides being a liar whose contribution to Ireland was an empty park whose "peace playground" was shelveda nd who finally NOW ADMITS she had nothing to do with negotiations in Ireland. Big fat liar. Add to that Big fat mf, greedy liar. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/28/us/pol

In the mother of STOOOOOOOPID economic plans. Hillary now says she will cap the costs of her UHC at 5 to 10% of income. Gee--THINK everyone. that means your taxes will go up 5 to 10%. The government does not increase like that in any given year. This would mean if you make 60K per year, you could look forward to paying as much as 6000.00 for what you may get already under an employer for around 2500.00/year now.

Hilary and Bill do not need to pay for health care. As government workers they get that free--for fvcking life. If she didn''''t, under her plan, insurance for her and Bill could be what? about 240,000.00/yr?

For some of us and most of us--her plan would be a nightmare--and those who get insurance through work can kiss that system goodbye. You''''d get it from the good ol'''' government..you know the ones who are destroying SS now, because they repeatedly stole from it and never paid it back...the same who say Medicare (the UHC already in place for the elderly) is almost bankrupt and will be not able to be paid from monies taken in by 2017...you know the one where there is rampant corruption, stealing, graft and greed--well they will have found a new way to tax us all and claim they raised no new taxes. Up to 10% of your income?

"Bloomberg, who worked on Wall Street before he founded his multibillion dollar financial information company, has said America''s regulatory atmosphere is already so burdensome that it scares companies into taking business overseas."

Bloomberg must have been referring to tax rates, domestic labor and environmental standards, unions, etc. You can''t really operate investment banks and hedge funds overseas, which are the regulations of Barack''s the writer is referring to in this piece.
