I have not made a decision yet and the speech sounded good but If he can make all those things happen, then what happens to supply and demand in health care for good doctors and the cost of goods etc. and the cost of insurance and medical costs. Just trying to look into the future.
 
Universal health care will increase taxes, but lower health care costs for most people. We do not let people go without health care in this country, and the bills that people can not do not pay is passed on to the rest in the form of higher charges and insurance premiums. Also the government already pays for half the health care cost through medicare and medicaid which is coming out of your taxes, and you sill have to pay for your own unless you are one of the people who do not pay bills. Everyone who has studied the system agrees that it is broken, and McCain also has an plan to change how we pay for health care. He wants to replace the contribution by employers with with government subsidies for everybody, so you insurance will no longer be tied to your job.
 
Well i posted a question asking if there is any way to provide a socialized health care system without raising taxes, but I only got one answer. i don't think anybody really analyzed Obama's economic policies.
 
fair question, however its hard to predict those things because its never happened before. I guess you could check out Canada for that, its probably the most similar there than anywhere I'm guessing.
 
The Bush administration along with what was then a Republican Congress passed a bill lowering considerably the taxes to be paid by the rich; the top 5% of the country.

Obama plans to raise their taxes (I hope they have to pay more than they did before their big tax break) and lower the taxes for the middle class.

As to how the new health care plan will operate is up in the air. We'll just have to wait and see on that. I doubt that we'll go the way that the United Kingdom has; I suspect we'll have some kind of a combination of government and private insurance. Whatever it is I bet the Republicans won't like it since they don't seem to like anything which benefits anyone other than the rich.

And by the way, McCain defined the middle class has having less than $5 million dollars - don't you just love that?
 
doctors will make more money. Insurance Co. employees (paper pushers, bean counters) are screwed.
