The once great and mighty KKK..a Democrat founded and run organization
for over 120 yrs, is now a tiny organization filled with crazed
nutcases.

They will be culled right along with the other crazed nutcases..the

Thanks Grumpy! I appreciate the clarity of your response. But I've
read a great deal of the actual bills, and they don't matchyour
impressions, or the public statements made by the President and his
allies. That's my complaint.

If what you said above and below were true I'd feel much differently
about the bill.

Fact is, this thing is mandatory--I only have a few minutes just now,
so I'll cite the legislation later. You have to prove to the IRS that
you have 'acceptable' insurance. If you don't, you pay a fine, or go
to jail.

That isn't true either. I have to check the language in this (Senate)
bill, and see how the amendments in the reconciliation bill amended
it, but the House bill provided such strict limitations on keeping
your policy that, eventually, everyone would be forced out of their
current coverage.

I'm also not an expert on the insurance business, but the new bill
cuts the insurance companies to such tight margins--15%, which has to
cover their costs and profit--that I'm not sure they can survive.
(The industry-wide profit margin last year was only 2-odd percent, and
that was with a 35% markup permitted.)

> but for the 45 million plus who have no health insurance, and even

There are not 45 million Americans without health insurance. That
figure counted 12 million illegal aliens, and a bunch of people who
qualify for government-run health care (mostly Medicaid), but who
haven't applied.

Take those out, and there are only 12 million who both don't have and
can't afford it.

Remember that lady whom the President's been talking about, the one
who dropped her insurance in January because she couldn't afford it
and got leukemia two weeks later? The new heath care plan is more
expensive than the plan she dropped.

Of course there will be subsidies for her in the new plan, but the
plan we'll all be buying for her costs more than the one she quit.
She was getting a great deal from her insurance company.

I'll get to the rest of your points tomorrow--gotta run right now.

James Arthur

Don't worry, you got your point across. ;)

Is that a surprise? Insurnace companies and government have opposite
incentives.
