Bushco plans to expand the # of uninsured in the name of tax reform

and the media is silent.

Bushco in their effort to allow more tax sheltering among wealthier citizens – has a plan that includes taking away tax incentives for businesses to provide heath insurance to employees.

But this is a media as well as a bushco working to increase the ranks of the uninsured. Look at the title of the WaPo article linked: Bush Plans Tax Code Overhaul

Please read the thread, read the article – and note if the story is picked up anywhere that emphasizes the health care provision?

Posters point out that those most likely to rely on the provision are small businesses – and I believe that a large number of Americans are employed by…. Small businesses.

This provision – and the fact that bushco is proposing it – and the reality that it flies in the face of his campaign that expressed concern over the large number of uninsured – needs to become a part of the public awareness/psyche. This HAS to get into the media.

We need to talk about it – and push it – and get enough buzz that others notice it and start pushing it.
