Why Democrats Will Bankrupt America on Health Care
Posted by Andy on August 30th, 2006
I just got done sitting through a presentation on Health Care here are work. We’re shopping around, trying to get a better price than what we’re paying. We had an insurance broker come out, rather than the usual sales person from the big companies (That the state of Minnesota graciously allows to pay taxes do business here).
Here’s the first thing I learned. Just like you can telephone service cheaper if you don’t buy it directly through the phone company, you can get insurance cheaper when people shop around for you.
Second. Group plans SUCK! So here’s a quick comparison.
Right now my premium through the group plan is like $300. We’re thinking of going to a group HSA in which my premium would be $230. That’s not much of a savings. But if I went and got an individual HSA, my premium would be $110. How the hell is it cheaper for me to go buy insurance on my own, than when I am doing so through my company?
There are no Minnesota State Government mandates on individual accounts!
As the broker told us, you don’t have to pay for the 4 pages of mandated coverage that our gracious nanny state mandates which are tantamount to hidden taxes.
So why do I say the Democrats will bankrupt this country? Because they will mandate more things, and then have one gigantic group plan. They want to have everything run through a central government controlled plan. When as you can see, it is cheaper to go it alone.
I’m saving a ton. I have complete control over it. So why is that a problem? Oh yeah, I am paying for it. That’s the thing. The Democrats want to have the Government pay for Health Care. They want to pay for it by raising taxes. They will create another burdensome entitlement that people will become dependent on, like Social Security and Medicare.
And then we will never be able to reform the system once we finally prove to people just how F’ed up it really is. So we’ll have to raise taxes even more to pay for the program, which will screw up the economy. Which cause you to get fired. Which will make you miss you mortgage payment. So you have to declare bankruptcy.
