Very good SG.

As all blow smoke up their collective rears the fundamental thing is we pay for the uninsured now but do not see the bill as it just hidden in the cost of everyone's health care. CBO says nope no 500 B Medicaid savings the D's projected and the 10 year cost projection based on 4 years with nothing going out was bit of a snow job. So it will be a tax which as I preferred a single pay to that hunk of junk they rolled out does not break my heart. Also health care is going to be regulated and is another fact of life as technology is expensive.

So they have to fix it and be it R or D the brutal political fact is single payer or modified, a tax is going to have fund it and it will cost as much as Soc Sec I imagine, the bad news. Good is for the first time the cost of heath care will be front and center be it Pharm's, Doc's, just the entire system. So the R's will resist the tax bit and the D's will want your wallet, with luck it will land a little left of center. Just ain't no way it will stay hidden.

On another note as to how cost is hidden by the system. My ex was a RN and rather good at her job but she went Temp Agency and would you care to guess her wage?






The answer is ......................



$50 and hour and she loved holidays as she would get time and half = $600 for 8. But most times she could do a do a double and pull double time and half for another $1000. She did love holidays.
