>> You mean a tax surcharge on high-income people doesn't bend the health care cost curve? It is hard to know just which piece of legislation they're talking about on any given day. But it is pretty safe to say, I think, that if you're going to cover half of the remaining uninsured for free, you're going to have to raise taxes on the little guys. Although some would have us believe there is going to be this mystical savings that appears by virtue of the government taking it all over ;)
