1.3M/day being spent to stop national healthcare. Money that could have been in your pockets.

Socialism, for the win!

22-31% of the American healthcare costs are in administrative, marketing, and profits. Single-payer systems (including Medicare) only spend 3%. If you cut out the costs associated with the capitalist friction, you bring our healthcare costs to 11.1% to 12.3% of our GDP, which brings us more than half as close to how much the average non-US industrialized nation spends (9.1%). You still make the same money.

have fun at AMSA's free lunch meeting tomorrow.

do you have any idea how much a national healthcare plan will cost us, both in terms of lost salary/revenue as well as higher taxes and bigger debt?

Democrats really don't give a damn about such things - and besides, Spyyder doesn't even pay taxes yet to know better. Even my son who is making $9 an hour on his summer job is saying "Holy crap, look how much they took out in taxes!".

You may want to check and see how many Canadians cross the border to have treatment here in the U.S. because of long waits in Canada. There are at least 7 Canadian doctors that have moved into our community within the past 5 years and it's not because of the weather. In some socialist health care systems the first question they ask when you call 911 is not "what is your emergency", it's "how old are you". If you are above a predetermined age limit no ambulance will come out. It's an absolute win for the guy with the cell phone, cable t.v. and Bimmer who doesn't want to pay for health insurance and uses the ER as a primary care facility.

If your dream comes true and Obama gets socialized medicine in place, it will be just in time for you to have completed your 12 years of higher education to go to work for 80k.

Are you f***ing kidding me? Sure. A seventeen year old punk making $9.00/hr is making an informed/impartial observation about his tax bracket? I see you thoroughly evaluate everything you hear.

9.00 per hour 40 hour week 360.00 minus FICA etc... net about 320.00. I think even a 17 y.o. would notice that.
