The country is in recession and may not come out of it for years, our debts are soaring out of control and this bill will dramatically add to the chaos to the tune of 1-2 trillion over the next decade. Guess where that comes from? Out of your pocket of course! Your premiums for the forced buy minimal insurance, I believe it's 10k deductible for the bronze plan, will cost most folks way more than plans bought on the open market. Look it up. I was shocked that I will pay 700+ for a plan I now pay 300 for.
This is a huge tax on the already evaporating middle class at a time when their cc's are maxed and their houses are being foreclosed.
The timing couldn't be worse and surely our elected officials realize this....or do they? If not, that is even scarier that "the plan" they cobbled together. It's also true that socialized programs in other countries are running out of $ and they are looking at private options to keep things afloat.
We need health care reform, for sure, but will this cobbled up mess help, doubt it. - Jon
