TAX REFORM

[Maggot]

I'm definitely a bleeding heart when it comes to health care accessibility and affordability at this point- especially when it comes to seniors, vets, children, and people with pre-existing conditions.

And, I'm willing to pay the mandate tax to help keep the subsidies and Medicare/Medicaid funding in place.

Although I'd rather there be a single-payer public health care option (which would mean higher taxes), along with a private option for those who prefer it, that's not on the table now.

Before Obamacare health care prices were climbing, seniors had medicare children in poverty stricken families had welfare and healthy kids insurance, vets had vet clinics(if they weren't so fucked up like they were) Nobody was refused health care at emergency rooms. Obama care came along when health insurance was climbing up to 170-180.00 per week for an employee based insurance. A minority did not have health insurance but could still get care through various programs available.
obama care just made it easier and cheaper by transferring the actual cost and real prices back to anyone that was working.
I don't like paying more taxes but I know its inevitable. Taking a gamble and rolling the dice with a tax that became a burden through taxable income and avoiding the reality of the law can today be compared to the current tax laws being voted on now.

I do not and never have thought the "tax" was "good" for very much except raiding the Seniors future social security and taking a chunk of their medicare and medicaid benefits, which if you hadn't noticed is taking a bigger bite out of workers paychecks each year as it gets eaten away by Obamacare recipients.
