WASHINGTON House Democrats at work on health legislation are narrowing in on an income tax surcharge on the highest-paid wage earners to help pay the cost of subsidizing insurance for the 50 million who lack it.
Pushing to complete a comprehensive health care bill by Friday and bring it up for committee votes next week, House Democrats abandoned earlier money-raising proposals, including a payroll tax. They planned to meet behind closed doors Thursday to fine-tune the details.
The action in the House stood in contrast to the Senate, where Democrats edged away from their goal of passing health care legislation by early August amid heightening partisan controversy over tax increases and a proposed new government role in providing insurance to consumers.

Another round of brilliance from the Dems. Yet one more tax the rich scheme that will fall on the middle class once the rich figure their way out of it.
Democrats are just dumb.

1.) There aren't enough "rich" to pay for this shit, even if you taxed them all 100% for ten fucking years.By Erica Werner, Associated Press Writer Thu Jul 9, 3:11 am ET

What have I been saying all along people? Tax the rich. The Debt has doubled in the last 8 months? Who did that? The rich bankers. So, to pay for it, tax the fucking rich.

You know what MM...as your house gets flooded every time it rains, you can continue to order new furniture...
Obama's own DOCTOR is against this stupid shit they're proposing.
:yawn:Do you understand what a trillion is? I mean, really comprehend it?You know what MM...as your house gets flooded every time it rains, you can continue to order new furniture...
Obama's own DOCTOR is against this stupid shit they're proposing.
Yea, I know what a trillion dollars is. It is a lot of money invested over a decade to create solutions for a health care system that is badly broken, and needs to be addressed before it consumes our nation, our citizens AND our businesses...
MM...Do you know the Cost of Doing Nothing on Health Care
Now MM, do you know what 3 TRILLION dollars is, wasted on a foreign nation?
The three trillion dollar war
The cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts have grown to staggering proportions
Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes
As soon as you see anyone proposing doing NOTHING, you might have some sort of point. It's the cost of what they are proposing that's at issue. It's the control aspects of it, that's at issue.Well MM, your last post reeks of "It's too hard to understand and I'm too stupid to know what to do, so I'll just WHINE"
If you don't have long term solutions or the brains to see the need for fixing the roof, instead of buying new furniture every time it rains, then you're just a dumb whiner...
Hey MM...HERE'S what we can do...IGNORE IT...
AND...As health care costs continue to grow faster than wages, health insurance will become more and more unaffordable for more and more American families every day. The financial burdens associated with health care and health insurance will only get worse over time without action.The cost of the average employer-sponsored health insurance plan (ESI) for a family will reach $24,000 in 2016. This represents an 84 percent increase over 2008 premium levels. Under this scenario, we estimate that at least half of American households will need to spend more than 45 percent of their income to buy health insurance.

You continue with the stupid roof analogy. They are not proposing fixing the roof, dumbass. They are proposing turning the house into a multi-trillion dollar boondoggle ark that only the select fit inside. Might cost a few thousand to fix the roof, only a small percentage of the home's cost and value. Costs trillions more, to make it into an ark.If you don't have long term solutions or the brains to see the need for fixing the roof, instead of buying new furniture every time it rains, then you're just a dumb whiner...

2.) They will be redefining "rich" all the way down to those making more than $60K a year, because they well know #1 above.
3.) And you're too stupid to be able to figure that out, just like they know 90% of their supporters are.
Our healthcare system is not broken Our health insurance system is We have the best health care in the world This is all about govt control and redistribution of wealth
We will be rationing care to pay for the tummy tucks of illegal alien baby machines What a country.
Oh and those "greedy" corporations employee lots of people.The bleeding hearts should be careful what they wish for.
How about the insurance companies stop gouging us and we won't have to take them over. They've been doing what the oil companies did last year, only they've been doing it for 20 years. Their prices went up 191% since 2001. You can't possibly justify those increases.

Blind idiots will just accept any solution, even if the solution is much worse than the overblown problem.
What they are proposing will not fix anything! It will only make it 100 times worse than it already is! This is why they are having so much trouble getting their own party to go for it!

LOL...that was just long winded whining MM...
NOW, back UP your accusations with facts and links, or admit you don't know anything other than how to puppet right wing propaganda...
The REASON they are having trouble getting their own party to go for it, is because half the Democrats are in the same corporate POCKET as ALL the Republicans...
