R&D is tax deductable. The taxpayer is/was picking up the tab and the corps, for instance pharmaceuticals, turn around and charge more for their product here in the US and much less overseas. So we the taxpayer take it up the ... twice. Not unreasonably to finally get some of it back.

1. what if you want to drive and don't want liability insurance? Pretty muchthe same principal. if something happens either you are covered or "we" pay for it.
2. Do you really want to go there? As you get older or contract an illness you pay through the nose? Aren't the young paying for the old now via SS, medicare, etc? Aren't the taxpayer already paying for those whom the insurance companies refuse to cover?
3. "You would like to pay less in premiums" I'd like to pay less in taxes too. Good luck with that.
4. "like a policy that is cheaper because it doesn’t cover preventive care"
the vast majority of doctors and insurance companies claim preventative care is key to holding down medical costs.
5. What's to say about this one? Go out of business you douce bag.
6. Come on. Where can you get a policy like that now? The idea behind insurance is it's a pool and each memeber covers the others. duh. What's desired here a single white male only policy?
7. What? Doesn't even make sense.
8. See #5.
9. See #5.
10. Actually employees don't want anything deducted from their salaries. The only reason they do is because the employer is passing more and more costs on to the employee. In other words cutting the employees pay. Is your ceo/execs are pocketing millions see #5.
11. Insurance companies meddle much more into the physicians practice not suggesting but ordering what treatments are allowed.
12. Anyone ever heard of a physician owning a hospital?
13. Another country? See #12.
14. Absolutely fantastic. States do it now and still the insurance companies sit on a ton of cash and award millions in bonuses.
15. See opening remarks.
16. See opening remarks.
17. See opening remarks.
18. Once again very cool. Nobody is worth that and if you are raising rates it shouldn't be to line the ceo's pocket.
19. So an individual makes $300,000 it'll cost him $500. Cry me a river.
20. Are we worried there will be less boob jobs?
