Over the past several months we have all heard plenty of talk about national health care programs. I have read countless pages about the different plans to fund it and today I was thrown yet another curve ball in trying to figure it all out. I watched several different news stations about the plans and read a few different pages about the "new" way to fund this and again; I find myself wanting to slap the shit out of someone!!
The newest plan is to force all people to buy affordable health care insurance or be taxed for not having it??? Now who decides what the word "affordable" means? Well, the president does! The numbers being thrown out there are that the word "affordable" equals 15-20% of ones current pay. If you buy this "affordable" plan, you are fine, if not you will be "fined" a fee of up to 20% of your pay to cover the expense of your own health care treatment. Kinda a catch 22 eh? Now for those that can afford this, and do their part you are safe as the rest of the country will be paid for by a "luxury tax" on what the Obamanomic people are call "top tier" insurance plans. Those are plans people currently have that cost in excess of $6500 annually. So if you pay extra for your insurance to have lower deductibles, copays and more benefits; well, you're going to get taxed on top of that to pay for the crackhead sitting on the corner.
As if that isn't already a bad idea; you also have to understand that this tax and plan will not go into effect until 2012 or so and with the increased premiums being raised at the historic levels they have been; if you currently have a plan that costs $4500 a year, chances are by 2012 you will be paying $6500 or close to it and over 75% of the nation will be paying over $6500 in premiums in the next five years, thus making most of us carry the burden of the extra tax on the insurance premiums we are being forced to carry.
This whole idea just baffles me and the fact that we can not get any straight answers as to what he (Obama) is actually proposing just pisses me off!
How is it he can sit down and sign a bill saying that credit card companies have to have a full disclosure not to exceed one page in length but we have five hundred plus pages of circle talking about how we are going to finance this program. He also changes his story every day on television depending on what group of people he is in front of!
We have many programs in place to help those in need... Currently the government has slowly bankrupt all of them by mismanagement of the funds and by allowing those that don't need them to use them as a way of life while denying those in real need. How about fixing the programs we have before we start another program we can't run?
Also, let's focus on the other issues of our tax money and use those funds properly... Acorn??? HELLO?!
Oh yeah, you don't want to talk about ACORN since you have ties to that, but you want to investigate the CIA for things done in a previous administration...
Wasn't your platform run on this whole "I'm not going to look back on the previous administration and its policies.. I'm going to move forward. For CHANGE"?
Yet you are dwelling on the CIA and the practices it used during the previous administration.
You argued and complained about the policies in Afghanistan and Iraq but have yet to give them a clear outline of your policy of there. And now you are trying to silence the general over the war in Afghanistan. A general YOU put in place.
Everything you seem to touch or talk about gets clustered... Say something. Stay with it. Follow through and DO IT!! EVERYONE WILL NOT LIKE YOU FOR IT!! It's the presidency sir, not a popularity contest.
Someone once said, "if you don't make enemies, you have never stood up for something in your life".
You can't please everyone.
Start being the leader you said you were. Just do it and don't look back..
Hell, you couldn't even call Kanye a jackass without taking it back. And he is a JACKASS!!
