46. I hearby formally withold my support until I get a chance to read more
I want to know if it in any way tries to push down administrative costs of the US insurance co.
I also want to make sure this thing is puncture proof...that is I wan't to know that it doesn't lead to a general deflation of employer contributions and a rush to get to the minimum contribution. This may be less good for the average worker than NAFTA.
"Forced consumption?" Just how free is the American free market? I am sure that the Founders never saw THAT coming. Are people who for reasons of conscience do not use medical care excluded from forced purchase?
Just what local panel of social conservatives is going to determine that a person _could_ work but isn't? Will it take a doctor's note or a letter from an insurance company to get you a waiver??????
How is insurance purchase responsibility divided among parents at the time of divorce? Are child-support payments excluded from income as they are in most states (thus forcing the payer to make some additional contributions) or will there be an obligation for a custodial parent to purchase insurance with that money?
What sort of protections against insurance fraud and usury are in this bill? Is there a cap on insurance profits, executive pay, exorbitant hospital billing practices (i.e. the $10 box of kleenex, and $20 plastic pitcher and cup)?
