Taxation Of Health Insurance Premiums

Thelma Said:

What you’ll get from a President Giuliani.?

We Answered:

absolutely nothing.

Oh, and this is not a question.

Ted Said:

Do You Still Think Obama's Health Care (aka Obamacare ) Will Pass?

We Answered:

money, promises and threats can get anything

Glenn Said:

Is the Democrats intention for the Health Care Bill simply another method of taxing?

We Answered:

No. In fact the major criticism of the proposals is the cost, not profits for the government. The proposed health care reform is an effort to address several major problems in our health care system that are just getting worse. Premiums continue to rise, millions have no health care coverage, others are losing coverage, people with pre-existing conditions cannot obtain coverage, many are underinsured, those with insurance are paying unnecessarily high costs to cover those who can’t pay their medical bills, etc.

Every other major developed country has universal health care. There is absolutely no good reason why this country can’t institute reforms to provide health care coverage for our own population.

Your analysis of HMOs does not address the current issues or the current proposals. It also does not take into account the actual experiences of other developed countries with universal health care.

Judy Said:

Which following is true?

We Answered:

None is correct, as I answered your question before. Ellen is correct. The Federal Government is prohibited from making laws which favor one state over another. Any law that is passed by Congress applies to all states, equally.

Michael Said:

Who should be taxed in the name of health care and financial health burdens?

We Answered:

The best way to force those people to pay for poor life choices is for people to pay for their own health care.

But we have never shied away from subsidizing stupidity and sloth in the past...

Claude Said:

When the Republicans regain Control of the house this November will we get Taxation WITH Representation?

We Answered:

The Republicans will move to remove the individual mandate (along with a number of other Liberals' requirements), therefore stopping the taxation.

Obama (swt) can "reject that notion" all he wants, but it does not stop it from being a "tax."

Discuss It!
