So we're spending 1% more to cover 34 million more people? Sounds good to me.
Sounds terrible to me. Most of those people already have "health care". Government mandated "insurance" is not "health care" - nor a great way to lower costs. When somebody else pays, costs go up because the person receiving the benefits doesn't care about costs. Ultimately, things that are not rationed by price are rationed in other ways - usually by time, or worse, by one's connections to scumbagger politicians.
Let's call this "health care" "reform" what it is - a handout to Democrat interest groups that benefits very few others, subsidized on the backs of the so-called rich (but ultimately, all of the productive class, since that goose can't lay a golden enough egg) to the detriment of the real economy outside of the Beltway. That's why it was a tough sell in Washington.
A sane person disagrees with the healthcare policy and maturely points out it's flaws while agreeing with the merits of expanding healthcare to everyone and agreeing that the intentions are good but the approach is flawed.
An insane person manages to find a conspiracy theory in
healthcare policy by trying to declare an evil plot to give healthcare to favorable voters to enrich their political party.
I'll leave it up to the good people of Atlas to decide which you are.
