...senator offered? an answer to the health care/ins crisis-that each family would have a $5,000 tax credit per year and they would be on their own to buy insurance. Companies would no longer get tax breaks for health care coverage. Edwards pointed out that the average cost for ins for a family is $18,0000 a year. The senator said "there would be more competition" therefor it would be cheaper. It scares me that this the only answer the repubs have for reform. Imagine if all of you out there who have a great plan with your company have it taken away, and then given a $5,000 tax credit-and be on your own? Do you think he also meant that the senators would have their benefits taken away, and have a $5,000 tax credit instead?
What is she wrong about? Are you actually that ignorant that you think $5000 a year for health insurance for and entire family is going to be enough?
Babbling about what the woman has personally been through. What does that have to do with the overwhelming costs of ins and health care. Moron.
My ins for my family through my employer (which is cheaper because it is part of a large pool) is $1,100 a month, 70% of it my employer pays.
Wrong Jim. Companies are currently not taxed on the health care benefits they provide their employees. Under the GOP so called attempt to health care reform, the gov will tax those benefits, and then give families a tax credit of $5,000 to go toward ins each year.
And no-that amount is not made up-decent insurance, that is, costs that much per year for a family of four. If a 20 year old with no preexisting gets ins on his own, and only catastrophe ins with no doc visits, etc, itmay cost about $80 a month for that individual, if that is what you are thinking about.
