Raw data about healthcare for the number crunchers among us:
$940,000,000,000/10 years
$94,000,000,000/year to insure 32,000,000= $2,937.50 redistributed to each newly covered American each year. They pay for this by 1) raising taxes on interest and dividend income, 2) new taxes on evil pharma, medical device, and medical insurance companies, and 3) single filers earning >$200M/yr or joint filer >$250M/yr.
How is this not socialism again? What is the incentive to work hard, do better for your family, or innovate in your industry? Not to mention the poor retirees who saved for their retirement.
