ObamaCare Open Post
Filed Under American Politics
I realise that I haven’t done a post on the new Democratic health care proposal. It is a dramatic one:
- Near universal health care provision
- A mandatory requirement to take out health insurance for both individuals and businesses with quite dramatic fiscal penalties for those who don’t partake
- Sharp tax increases on the top earners.
Some primers for you. Please feel free to add any links in the comments that you think relevant
Will mean higher taxes than France
How to defeat and defend the surtax
Democrats in the Senate are onboard. Republicans? Not so much.
So what do you think of this plan?

Dear Lord…I just cannot believe that Surgeons and other medical staff will be the most heavily taxed people in the USA! When are the dunb, stupid socialists in this world going to realise that if you punish success you will have less and less people to tax, week after week, month after month the brain drain will kick in and then the superb medical facilities in the USA will become like those in Britain…borderline 2nd world (especially for the working class).
I am not sure how socialists manage it in France where health care is superb. This may be an interesting part of the debate.
