Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

The UGLY TRUTH about National Health Care
In all their great wisdom, arguments, and talking points. The great Liberals of the world have failed to point out ONE ugly truth about their golden egg...National Health Care.

The real cost, in real dollars........So here it is.

The total number of jobs in the U.S. in 2006 was 150,600,000 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics)

Total Medicare participants 2006 -- 42 million people

Average deduction per working person
Quote:
The employee tax rate for Medicare is 1.45% (amount withheld). The employer tax rate for Medicare tax is also 1.45% (2.9% total). There is no wage base limit for Medicare tax; all covered wages are subject to Medicare tax.

So...we do the math...using 2007 figures sorry.

Quote:
The national average wage index for 2007 is 40,405.48

The big picture.... Do the math if you don't trust my figures.

We come to a annual $4300 "insurance payment" made for each recipient of Medicare, shared by our numbers of course.

Apply that same figure to a family of 4, add $2150 for your share of the Medicare payment, your boss pays half. THEN add your share of "Medicaid" bill which varies by state.

Can a family of 4 making less than $100k a year sustain this rate???? Can you afford this plan ????

How Obama intends to cut $600 billion from Medicare.

By making everyone participate in National Health Care. 18-45 year olds do not use medical care as frequently as our elderly. So the savings will be recouped (redirected) through the base price of the National plan.

Why Liberals must pass Health Care NOW !!!

The CBO has clearly stated, Medicare will be bankrupt within 7 years. They NEED the money to insure it does not. Cap and trade will also insure Social Security for a few more years.

If these things (Medicare & Social Security) fail.....there will be riots in the streets of Washington. Hell there may be riots, if they don't.

The ponzi scheme is falling apart. And the politicians are running scared.

This is how socialized medicine has been shaping up in the vast ruin where England used to be:
The picture above shows what happens when you break your arm in a country where you pay exorbitant taxes for "free" healthcare and then have to wait 10 months for an operation.
Torron Eeles claims surgeons cancelled on him four times, leaving him unable to work and living in fear of losing his home.
