For instance:
"Obama advisers said the smallest businesses would be exempt from this requirement. The advisers said that those business might have under 15 employees, but that no number has been set."
"Might" doesn't cut it. By the time it's all said and done, that "might" might go from 15 to 5, or even 2. |
It is going to be expensive as hell. (I mean for the country)
They have not told us the numbers probably because we are going to balk at the true costs.
I am for the gov (us taxpayers) providing some sort of basic healthcare coverage or insurance for everyone. Still, without seeing Obama's numbers and the details of his plan I don't know what to think about it. It sounds great, but who knows if considering the economy and military involvements I don't know if we can afford to do anything about it or not.
I agree with McCain in that gov spending must be cut. I also agree with Obama that we have to examine the current tax structure and that we are all going to have to make sacrifices. That's before we introduce a new gov health care plan. Deficit spending is going to put a hurting on us.
