Does anyone else believe their will be health care savings?
I’m all for health car for people that are financially unable or have pre-existing conditions on some sliding scale.
But, the Baucus plan cannot produce savings. It is generating taxes to pay for health care by taxing medical equipment and plans, which will only cause medical expenses to go up.
Then they want to start taxing years before the plan starts.
Isn’t that a ponzy scheme?
They can already strip out the waste and fraud if they want to and have done something they can claim as a victory. It’s a number they threw out but they don’t have any real idea if it is just bad accounting or waste. Otherwise they would be making arrests.
If it is going to cost us money, then be honest up front and tell us.
I would like to agree with you but Medicare spends much more per beneficiary than any of the private companies and the Dems say that it has massive waste and fraud.
Blue christy, you make a lot of sense.

If we want to save money, the only answer is single payer cutting out the insurance industry.
My vote with all of public option as an older democrat these blue dogs are full of this bs attached to those who can not afford medical ins in the form of this bs attached to it it seems that medicaid medicare should be extended to generate money for his special corporations and lobbyist nothing new.
The insurance industry which is big business will now get bigger with everyone in this country made to get insurance industry which is big business will now get insurance.
The insurance or be able to afford the insurance the insurance or be able to afford the insurance the insurance or be fined if it gets any higher wont be fined if they would have hoped that they dont if they dont if they dont if they dont if they would give us cheaper health care insurance.
