The purpose of the Democrat health care plan is ostensibly to provide coverage for the approximately 30,000,000 Americans without current coverage while simultaneously reducing the cost of health care across the board. The plan calls for raising taxes immediately while providing coverage beginning in 2014. At an anticipated cost of at least $2,000,000,000,000, this is calculates to $66,000 per person presently without health insurance. These uninsured citizens (those who actually want insurance) could certainly obtain cheaper coverage through 99% of the insurance carriers in the U.S. marketplace. Does all of this add up? Only to those who have other motives altogether, and who are not only altogether dumb but deaf.
