YOUR REAL COST OF GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE

SPECIAL POST

This will be a short, not-so-sweet snippet to give you something to mull over before you call, write, fax or visit your Congressional delegates.

I don’t care how they maneuver or hide the figures, we’re talking over $1 trillion for the government cost. That works out to $3,333 for every man, woman and child in the country. Then, they are going to cut Medicare reimbursements by $500 billion, a figure that every senior is going to have to pony up to cover the resulting gaps. Based on 50 million seniors, that’s $10,000 each. Then, the insurance companies who still face enormous malpractice awards, pharmaceutical costs and hospital charges, are going to raise premiums an estimated $4,000 per insured over the course of the next ten years.

That adds up to $17,333 in additional costs per year for seniors by 2019.

How in the hell do they figure seniors are going to be able to come up with that kind of money?

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
