(31,904 posts)yes, the total costs will go down.
yes, our middle class (and to be fair) upper class taxes will go up.
so... what gives? Costs are going down, taxes are going up, where did the savings go...
To corporate profits!
What SHOULD happen is that we all (all of us that work, union job or white collar or minimum wage) should get a huge raise to offset our higher taxes... and, hopefully, the quality of service should be at or near the same as our company or union provided group insurance...
But does anyone actually believe that corporate america will pass along those savings in health care costs to their workers... much like Walmart providing a living wage to their workers instead of telling those workers about social programs that "they should take advantage of" thus passing the cost of those workers on to the rest of us?
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
