Dont you think the quality of life would be much better if healthcare was the right of every American? Wouldnt it just be nice if your ID was your insurance card?
The current healthcare plan to make insurance the obligation of every American or else be fined is a sure fire way to lower the quality of life rather than improve it. Dealing with the bureaucracies involved in oversight, enforcement, and ignoring the blatant violations of our rights would cost us more money and streamline little.
I think many would agree that adding a federal sales tax on all goods and services, in addition to state sales tax would more than cover what is needed.
Here is the math-
Placing a 5% federal sales tax on all goods and services nation wide using the GDP of $13.84 Trillion (13,840,000,000,000,000) X .05 % = $6.92 Billion dollars (6,920,000,000,000)
Using that method we would only be 4 billion dollars a year off from hitting Obamas 1 trillion dollar 10 year milestone. I am not sure what the tobacco and booze tax money is doing, but since they claimed it was going to health care related expenses that arise from their use, one can only assume it should be in addition to the 6.9 Billion making it close to 10 billion a year.
Now correct me if I am wrong, but wouldnt an idea like this better suit the people to give ALL at least the basic healthcare to improve the quality of life? Would it not make things easier for people changing jobs? Would it not streamline the process and also tie together the medical records making the citizen of the United States better off? Wouldnt it be nice to NOT have insurance premiums withheld from your pay check?
Why must the people in office keep making a mess out of this? Why must they try so hard to make it a pain in the ass and still deny many millions on top of the millions who simply cant afford it? Right now the there is SHIT LOADS of revenues that are being lost on sales taxes for internet purchases if conducted outside of the state.
I am not trying to be partisan here. This is me trying to offer up that Better Idea for the better of everyone! We are paying the government people billions of dollars for what? Ill do the damn job for $150,000.00 and have it ready before 2011.
Things dont have to be complicated to work. I am loosing sleep wondering how to explain to my kids that under Obama they had to give up time out of their life for his Give Act and how they have to pay fines for services they may not want. I just dont like it and Im willing to help make it right, but no one will listen!

Welcome to the Democratic Party Rex. Single payer universal coverage completely from the government, and paid for through our taxes is exactly the socialized health care system that we Liberals can only dream of. And most industrialized countries already have by the way.
Now we all know that PowerStroker claims to be a Democrat, and one can only assume that since they think alike, they must share many of the same traits.
Do you think the Democrats are even reading what their special intrest groups are pushing in this Bill? Do you think any of the top Democrats actually READ the stuff they are pushing?
I bet not. Because if PowerStroker (A Democrat) didnt take the time to read the thread above properly, I seriously doubt his like minded pals did either.
You are aware that 10 Billion over 10 years only equals $100 billion dollars right? Not the 1 Trillion that I just SLID in there.
See the whole case in point here is that even the most SIMPLE things go un-noticed by Democrats when it comes to putting things on paper. While $900 billion dollars is no big deal to the Democrats, It sure makes me worry knowing these like minded people dont even take the time to read.
Thanks PowerStroker... I needed that.

I thought your math was a little fuzzy, but I didn't question it because I always research my figures before I post them, I assumed you had the courtesy to at least do the same.
