If it were a true health move cost should remain the same, and the taxed surplus Marijuana revenue should be put back into the healthcare system showing a true peoples government  :laugh:

Yeah, and carbon taxes on a carbon negative neutral nation like Canada will reverse global warming and be revenue neutral. ac_toofunny  ac_lmfao

Mine was about a thousand  a month for me and my family pre obamacare,  thanks to Odumbo it went up $200 a month.  There is also a high deductable so we stay away from emergency rooms.


Holy crap!  :ohmy:



That would leave me with $200 a month to pay my bills and food! After taxes and gas to work, I bring home $350 a week. I think its much healthier that I DONT pay for insurance lol.

I agree its ridiculous.  I only pay it because I don't want to go bankrupt if something terrible happens to me or a family member.  There were years where I bought no insurance.  Now because of obungles, they fine you if they catch you not having insurance.

Wazzzup and kiebers, perhaps you guys could do the same?

Ontario Hospital Insurance Plan covers medically necessary procedures and doctor and hospital visits. Extended medical such as dental care, pharmacare  and vision are covered by  private insurance usually through one's employer.



Does your insurance cover all of these?
These are the Obozo plans.  Mine is the bronze which costs about $14,000 a year and covers just about nothing.

My son is grown, and he actually got him a job that provides benefits, they kick in next month so hes squared away. Im fairly healthy, so if something happens to me then oh well lol. Time to go lol. Maybe one day I'll work for someone that provides benefits. I aint buying that Ocrap, thats crazy on the cost for not getting much of nothing. Right now, when I file my taxes using TurboTax, I check the box that says I cant afford it, and I get exempt. No fine. They start fining me and Im gonna be pissed!

This is true!!!



I saw this recently, that an Engineer figured it out....

Is there a single soul who is surprised that an Engineer came up with this?



Here are the 10,535 pages of Obama Care condensed to 4 simple sentences.  As humorous as it sounds....every last word is absolutely TRUE!

 

1. In order to insure the uninsured, we first have to un-insure the insured.

 

2. Next, we require the newly un-insured to be re-insured.

 

3. To re-insure the newly un-insured, they are required to pay extra charges to be re-insured.

 

4. The extra charges are required so that the original insured, who became un-insured, and then became re-insured, can pay enough extra so that the original un-insured can be insured, so it will be 'free-of-charge' to them.

 

 

This, ladies and gentlemen, is called "redistribution of wealth" or, by its more common name, "SOCIALISM," or "PROGRESSIVISM ," the politically correct names for COMMUNISM!

I provide a standard  package of extended medical, life and dental for all my employees. It costs them  approximately $67 per month for full family coverage.

Said it before, say it again.



So many nations have a fair and reasonable universal health care system. The US could have cherry picked the best successful option and simply copied it. But noooo....in all of that debate, someone has to make a profit. Our health insurance companies were significantly downgraded when we switched to universal care. They are no longer major players in providing health care for all.



Try adopting the same structure. You'll be surprised how easy it is.

I don't follow you Bricktop and I don't know much about how Australia provides health care.

Bricktop

Australia, the UK, many European nations, Singapore and New Zealand all have universal health care. All work well.



In Australia, everyone pays 1.5% of their tax to the universal health care provider, Medicare. No exclusions.



People can choose their own doctor as before. They can also choose private health cover if they wish. There are issues, to be sure. Hospital queues are longer if you don't choose private facilities, and many people receive cover without paying a cent...but the fact is everyone gets health cover, and overall our nation enjoys a high rate of medical care.
