I am dying to know how destroying 1/6th of the tax base in the US is going to actually HELP the budget. This should be rich.

About 20 cents of every dollar I pay to my insurance company (on average for all enrollees with that company) goes to salaries and PROFIT. That includes all the Millions that company has to pay for advertising, public relations, etc.


About five dollars of every dollar you pay your insurance company is taxable income. (Economics at the college junior level explains this quite well.) By cutting that down to 20 cents of each dollar how will that help the federal deficit?

Your WHOLE argument is based on government inefficiency

Wrong, the fundamental first argument is that it will lead to tyrannical power in the hands of bureaucrats. I love freedom. ObamaCare would impinge on freedom.

Why do you want to take away freedom? Do you hate freedom?
