You have the public option. The Government is turning the insurance companies into utilities. Yeah...right...probably why these stocks are plunging on the stock market...oh, wait they are not. Hospital, pharmaceutical, and insurance stocks all rose yesterday, with five locally-based or locally-influential companies reporting their best results in a year, amid heavy trading. Those companies included Universal Healthcare Services Inc., the King of Prussia hospital company, and Aetna Inc., the Connecticut health insurer that is a major regional provider of policies. Aetna closed at $34.64 with close to double the normal amount of shares traded. Universal Healthcare rose to its 12-month high of $36.71 before closing at $36.59. How much of your paycheck are you willing to give up ? What % do you consider OK Al ? Payroll taxes are unaffected for any single person making under $200K, and for couples making < $250K ... and even for people making above these figures the increases are so modest...0.9% higher Medicare levy for earnings above 200K and 250K...so let's assume that you make $300K...you'd pay another $1,175 in Medicare taxes...is that really going to break your back? Details are a wonderful thing. Al
