universal health care

[JorNcar]

don't get me wrong here. I think america needs health reform. But the way the american government went about this whole process is pretty damn stupid. EVERYONE failed to recognize the fundamentals of economics. Has anyone ever learned about the demand curve? where the supply and demand curve meet is the equilibrium, and that is the price set for anything, lets say.... HEALTHCARE

this new reform bill is going to make that demand curve go wayyy out, in fact 30 million people out. Which drives the price of healthcare way up! All people do is complain about taxes, but since we are in a recession we need to raise taxes, and even more because of healthcare. Also if you don't want to use the governments healthcare your own plan is going to go up anyways... basically everyone is fucked.

ALSO!!! I've been reading about all these politicians who after passing the bill now have to change their own and their employees healthcare packages to a different one regulated by the government or something. They are all outraged because they didn't know the plan they passed would make them have to do that. Clear evidence that they didn't even read the bill!!!!!!!!!

these are blatant issues, and i'll be damned if I have to pay for them in 20 years (which i'll fucking have too!)
