    Corporations don't pay taxes you moron. You might as well say that you are going to raise taxes on EVERYONE by DOUBLE.

    1. What's wrong with a bigger government? The alternative are big insurance companies that are unaccountable and profit-focused instead of outcome-focused.

    2. The spending actually goes down because you're not paying as much in taxes as you are in premiums, deductibles, copays, coinsurance, dental, vision, hospital fees, ambulance fees, and drug costs. I refer back to my OP, but will also remind you that the average worker spends $7,100 for health care whereas that same average worker would spend just $2,440 for health care in M4A.

    3. What government control? What are you talking about? Right now, private insurance companies control it all. They're the ones colluding with providers to set artificially high costs for health care so that both can make a profit.


    Giving business tax breaks for providing heath insurance does not accomplish these goals.
    How does M4A, which establishes a 7.5% tax on business income, give the business a tax break when it's setting a tax rate?

    This is your laziness coming through.

    Corporations don't pay taxes you putz. They pass all their costs onto their consumers, you and me. You cannot fund a $30 trillion policy by not massively raising taxes.

    So why do you think it is a good idea to become a ward of the State? Too stupid to make it on your own?

    That 7.5% comes out of YOUR pocket you dumbass.

    This is why you are a uneducated dumbass. You want a faceless bureaucracy telling you what you can or cannot have. You are one of the dumbest leftists I have seen in a political forum.

    Apparently you haven't had much experience dealing with the DMV, marriage licenses, permitting, or applying for citizenship.

    You are really a stupid broad. Corporations will be paying a smaller tax for Medicare than they paid for private insurance.

    Now since you believe the fairy tale that companies pass along their taxes to the consumer, why didn’t they lower their prices after receiving tax cuts?

    But they are White, Old Farts, and think that is part of their White Privileges- What makes them upset is to know that the minorities are receiving the government assisted programs.

    NO, I AM NOT WHITE SHAMING! I AM NOT ASHAMED TO BE WHITE, BUT I DO KNOW SOME WHITE FOLK THAT NEED TO BE HIT OVER THE HEAD WITH A GOLF CLUB FOR BEING SUCH HYPOCRITICAL ASSHOLES!

    Which does not pay for those millions of Americans who do not have jobs, children, or workers whose jobs do not include health insurance or the millions of illegal aliens.

    Yes, if there's one thing Flash demands, it's that children, the elderly, and the disabled all get off their lazy asses and get to work.

    "Illegal aliens"?

    Would these be the same "illegal aliens" who are stealing everyone's jobs, thus paying taxes into the system but currently getting no benefits?

    They can't be both moochers and job thieves.

    And workers whose jobs don't provide insurance...what is it you are missing? The company paying them for their jobs would be paying a tax on their income so their workers would have health care. So I don't know what point you're trying to make. The fact that they don't get health care through their employer proves the need for M4A.

    We're at full employment, so...


    children
    Flash clearly wants to do away with child labor laws so kids can work in the mines again and pay taxes for health care.

    BTW - kids already get health care coverage via government...it's called S-CHIP.


    workers whose jobs do not include health insurance
    Which is what M4A solves for....that they do get health care.


    millions of illegal aliens.
    The ones who are stealing your job and paying taxes on that income without getting any of the benefits? Those people? How can they be both moochers and job thieves?
