State Mandates Driving up the Cost of Health Care and Redistributing Wealth!

HR 3438 Contains only 7 pages New Health Bill Paid by 1% Tobin Tax on Wall Street Speculators

Don't worry soon you will fall in the same catagory soon. If you pay $500 for health Ins you are automatically insane. I told you, you'll fall in the same catagory soon.

$500 a month for a seemingly healthy woman with no kids? Are you insane? I am 26 years old, healthy, no kids. My premium is $50 a month + $100 pre tax money into a Health Savings Account. I can increase or decrease my HSA contribution any time & it goes directly into my account to be used for medical expenses I choose to pay for. The 'insurance' part kicks in in an catastrophic event- anything costing $10, 000 or more. This is what 'insurance' is supposed to be for- catastrophic events.

Obama is turning USA into a socialist, communist country with his Health-care plan and he keeps on BORROWING money from Japs & China and we will be in debt for generations to come. Where is American Pride and world domination when we stick our hands out like a panhandler for money??

Japs govt just lost election to an UNFRIENDLY party to USA, and USA and EU are islamatized by homegrown Islamic Jihaddists. We have to resort to military sales to Vietnam, India, Turkey for WHAT ??
NO, WE CAN'T!

Agreed on all points except the end, you meant to say "health care coverage" rather than just "health care". The mandates adding to your premium are for health care. Someone else's. Yet again we reward the guilty to punish the innocent with no sense at all of personal responsibility. It's the pervasive theme in all of this interventionist government policy.

State mandates are just the tip of the iceberg. Lack of competition across state lines, the need for TORT reform, etc...It is government regulation that is driving up the cost of our health care

Shelly, you hit the nail squarely on the head.
State mandates are a big factor in the cost of health care.
