res- <<<Well, you've got two options [didn't we do this once?]. Give no one any prescription drug benefits at all, Warren Buffet and Al Gore can still get their prescriptions. Though it's not clear how many other people you'll exclude. There is roughly 15% of the population that are not covered by Medicare, Medicaid or private health insurance. This group generally is low on the income scale [but not low enough to qualify for Medicaid]. You'll also deny a good number of elderly access to prescriptions but you won't have to worry about Warren or Al. And you've probably denied that hard working mechanic with three kids and a wife.
If you want to provide access to free prescription drugs for the population, excluding the top n%, you can do that, and you'll probably create an administrative system that costs substantially more than giving the top n% free prescriptions. So you can have that hard working mechanic pay more to make sure that Al and Warren don't get free prescription drugs.>>>
Gee, why don't we just issue *everyone* a welfare check, social security (at the same rate), medicaid, and medicare, because, it's too administratively costly to figure out *REAL NEED* from *NON NEED*!
That has to be THE most idiotic things I've ever seen a Dashle supporter come up with. And there have been some real doozies.
I've got to save this one for future reference. LOL
Gotta go, thanks for the laughs today. |
