Obamacare already costing US manufacturing jobs

[Quantum Windbag]

It's ironic isn't it?

This thread that is attacking Obamacares ends up proving our need for national health insurance.

That would be irionic, if it were happening.

Just something to think about ...Prescription glasses are considered a medical deceive.


The only people taxes will hurt is the employees and the end users of the devices.

Does anyone even understand what a newspaper "column" is?

The lefts position on healthcare is part of the reason why this country is fucked.

Does that mean you dropped your argument that this is a tax everyone pays?

They save $2500 per car just on health care by building in Canada. The dupes are totally brainwashed and wrong about every single "fact" they have on Health Reform.

Might also cut some waste?

Btw I am neutral on the tax. Do not know enough about it yet.
Is this a new tax or just taxing them like if they were in any other business?

It is a tax on medical devices that never existed before, and applies only to manufacture and sale of medical devices. Other than that, it is just like any other tax that applies to all industries.

So you are saying that if they were making ball joints for trucks they would not be subject to a tax as they are for making human joints?

Correct. That tax is on medical equipment and devices.
We were told Obama care was supposed to REDUCE cost.
What happened?
I think we got bullshitted by the Obama regime.

Toyota located a plant in Canada because they have universal healthcare.

that was one factor. you conveniently neglect to mention this part...

Toyota, Moving Northward - New York Times

But last month Toyota decided to put the new plant, which will produce RAV4 mini-S.U.V.'s, in Ontario. Explaining why it passed up financial incentives to choose a U.S. location, the company cited the quality of Ontario's work force.

What made Toyota so sensitive to labor quality issues? Maybe we should discount remarks from the president of the Toronto-based Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association, who claimed that the educational level in the Southern United States was so low that trainers for Japanese plants in Alabama had to use "pictorials" to teach some illiterate workers how to use high-tech equipment.

But there are other reports, some coming from state officials, that confirm his basic point: Japanese auto companies opening plants in the Southern U.S. have been unfavorably surprised by the work force's poor level of training.

Every other industrialized nation in the world has national health insurance, and they pay HALF per capita what we pay for healthcare. Why? Because there are inherent cost savings in a national system. The Germans have had a national health care system since 1886!

The lack of a national health care system puts American companies at a competitive disadvantage.

WRONG!!!
Their taxes are double or triple which means healthy people are saddled with a disproportionate share of the cost.
Not only that, medical care is rationed. What we can get here in the form of care here in a few days, socialized medicine countries wait times are months. Sometimes care is denied.
If you want socialized medicine, move to Canada. It's real close.

Bush/Cheney/Paulson put approximatly 11 million out of work with their home loan fraud scheme kinda like what Reagan/Bush did by way of their home loan fraud scam.

This is what keeps the economy from moving. The crooks got our bailout money and won't lend it out.

Read this and tell me what you think:

"Good Billions After Bad" - One Year After Wall Street Bailout, Pulitzer Winners Barlett and Steele Investigate Where All the Money Went

It was the dimwits home loan scam that put the economy in the toilet thanks to clinton, dodd and frank, get it right idiot.
