Hillary Clinton has announced a detailed plan for soaking the American tax payer and adding more layers of bureaucratic bunglers to our government, fodder for the Tax Maggots[1]. She can, for a mere 110 bln dollars, half of which may be gotten by taking away tax cuts from ‘the rich,’ [read tax increase for everybody] , provide everyone with healthcare insurance. Gee, what a deal. So, we can add what she thinks is 19 million new persons to some paper trail for only 110 bln or $ 5800 per person in new charges or $482 per month each. This is about what the average person pays in our system of 2 trillion dollars with about 130 million workers not counting illegal aliens, which work out on the average to be $15,502 per worker and for an average family of 3 this works out to $5100 per year or $431 per month per person. Looks like she is $50 short, but at this level who is counting except those who are the victims of the tax maggots.
There are numerous assumptions, mostly false and some blatant lies in this program.
[1] Everybody already has healthcare, illegal alien or not. The ‘insurance part’ of this argument is just bureaucratic fluff.
[2] The employer will either have to pay more for this or dump the HC benefit or some balance of both that makes business sense. Read loss of jobs here.
[3] There are no monies here for new government hires at phenomenal salaries, directors, staff cars, security and such mentioned here. We are to presume that there is no additional cost. Will they work for nothing?? Sure!
[4] She believes that about half of this can be made up of a tax increase by taking away tax benefits from other persons. Does she recall that tax hikes do not return a full 100% of the burden?? Her dream of about 55 bln in tax revenues is a 60s era pipe dream with the swirling marijuana smoke, incense and free love with Marxism and terminal drug addiction as the Final Rewards.
[5] To add some staffing to this wreckage we are talking about hiring second-rate persons, the very definition of Democrats, to sit around on their trans fat-free tushies and shuffle papers at huge salaries, not subject to supervision or downsizing but with expensive health care benefits to the tune of about $130,000 each. 1000 of these seat warmers comes to $130 million, but 200,000 comes up to 26 billion dollars!! Half of that is still 13 billion!
[6] Continuing on with this travesty we note the inefficiency effect of government plans that tend to work directly against the stated objectives. We saw this in the Great Society, where the resultant society was not so great and[ still isn’t], the expensive War on Poverty that subsidized poverty, and Social Security, a slush fund for Congress to ‘barrow’ the excess and spend it to get reelected. This effect is more than 15% which hikes all numbers above by 100/85 or %18.
[7] Let us not add in the 110 bln, take away 20% of the tax hike [add 11 bln] add in 15% in inefficiencies [+23 bln], provide for more staff [+13 bln] and we get, for no real change in health care: 157 bln.
[8] Although we already spend $600 bln ‘on the poor,’ which is not counted as income so liberals can recite a Fabian Tract Speech on poverty speech daily, we find that that 19 million will pay nothing for this perk. This means that the average worker will have to pay for all the excess costs in addition to his/her own HC, which works out to $431 plus another $1207 per year or an additional $100 per month, which is two or three tanks of gasoline at the current price.
So, after gaining nothing substantial, the average worker will have to pay $531 per month for three persons on average for no increase in the quality of health care. A fine example of socialism from the progressive socialist who was a former Saul Alinsky Communist, crooked lawyer, perjurer and crook. We expect something reasonable from these far leftists?? Think again.
This kind of cost increases merely results in hiring fewer employees. The illegal aliens, criminals and professionally poor will lose nothing, pay no new fees, and vote for Hillary in droves. Anything to Grunt and Grab money from the capitalists as G. B. Shaw was proud to say.
This form of psychosis is standard socialism which defeats efficiency, adds useless fingers to useless keyboards, generates another paper holocaust and will increase inflation and unemployment. These forms of economic evil are like lavender water to the nostrils of the Marxist parading as a ‘progressive.’ Grunt and Grab: The motto of the far left.
Think about this outrage and vote accordingly.
