The plan will also provide special grants to small employers to help them cover the costs for their employees

That’s a give-away to private insurance companies and would rather quickly put the folks of PA, presently uninsured included, in a potentially worse situation.

Where do we get the money to cover everybody? And does it matter that the taxpayer will have to dig deeper yet to get health care for even those who choose to smoke, drink excessively, overeat, etc., etc., etc. Does it matter that a smoker can find money for cigarettes but not for insurance? Or that the drinker can always find money for booze, or the fattie can always find money for junk food? There are no easy answers, but the bottom line is always gtoing to be how do we pay for what we would like to see happen. <br /> <br /> I've heard Obama say he plans to make health care more affordable so that everybody can afford it. How does that work, I wonder? Sounds like he's going to be praying for a miracle. Where are you, Jesus, when we need you? Justice for all, huh? Where do we get the money to cover everybody?

Why are we having insurance companies making a healthy profit from providing access to health care.<br /> <br /> The money to provide the "lower" cost insurance is coming from your taxes. In effect you are paying whatever the health care costs PLUS whatever profit the insurance companies want to get PLUS the salaries and benefits provided to the HIGHLY paid insurance executives. PLUS the no limits health insurance provided to your congress critter. PLUS the cost of highly paid insurance lobbyists and I'm guessing they have unlimited isurance plans as well. You are paying for all of that.<br /> <br /> No god, no sheeple. Expanding the role of religion beyond the wall of the church is not helpful.
