Health Insurance Tax Bill

No Health Care Improvements

It’s not health care reform. It could be called Fundamental Health Insurance Change Bill. It could be called Union and Government Benefit Plan Bailout Bill. It could be called the Medical Services Tax Bill. Maybe, it should be called the Health Insurance Tax Revenue Bill or “No Health Insurance” Penalty Tax Bill.

It does nothing to improve or increase the quality, or availability, or volume of medical CARE. Health CARE all ready cannot be denied to anyone who needs it and taxpayers and the insured all ready pay for that. Care providers make up for non-payers by overcharging those who can pay.

This proposed law does nothing to lower health care costs. It does lower certain kinds of government health care spending. It turns price controls and rationing of services over to new government bureaucracies increasing medical care costs.


If you want to lower the price; increase supply and cut government involvement. Prices increase faster than inflation when there is too little, price keep pace with inflation when supply and demand are in balance, or when there is excess supply prices go down quickly, if governmental interference is very low.


If you want to increase access; increase funding for health care training and invest in more medical facilities and equipment, increase supply.

It does nothing to increase wellness. It does nothing to reduce medical malpractice or the cost of it insurance, nothing to limit outrageous malpractice settlements, nothing to simplify insurance availability or increase competition.

These bills will accomplish no useful reforms in health care.

Most of the language in the House and Senate bills modifies or increases tax law, tax revenue, and regulatory reporting.

These so called, “Health Care Reforms” will cover very few people who don’t have health INSURANCE that want it.

The people who need health CARE and can’t afford it know to go to local emergency rooms and lie about their ability and intent to pay.

It will bailout the state governments, unions and large enterprises that caved into silly excessive demands by employees for coverage that pays all or most of simple visits to the doctors office and routine annual procedures. You must look hard to find high deductible insurance to safeguard your home, your savings, or investments from only catastrophic medical care costs.

This idiotic, poorly developed, grossly over-priced, thinly disguised, seriously corrupt, nonsensical attempt is just to bribe the poor and ignorant into voting for the lazy, deceitful, medaling, socialist-progressive, incumbents and corrupt, self-centered, job-scared cowards who vote only for what’s best for themselves. Stop this travesty and don’t re-elect those who perpetrated this pathetic attempt to defraud the people, obstruct their rights, and loot our treasury.

Elect people who understand this nation, its constitution, and the rights and power of its people
