Thread Name: BS: Gephardt's Health Care Plan
Subject: RE: BS: Gephardt's Health Care Plan
All I can see this plan doing is adding yet another layer of beauracratic administration (which will cost a damn sight more than anyone could imagine) and another burden on the middle-class taxpayer. ANYTIME any politician says that his program will pay for itself, I run like hell to hide as much of my money as I can. I don't believe for a minute that the cost to the taxpayer will be minimal regardless of what kind of smoke and mirrors Mr. Gephart has put forward. It's a vote-getting scheme and that's all it is. Where are these small companies going to get the OTHER 40%? By increasing the cost of their services and products, that's where. And who gets to pay that extra money? Three guesses.
