Some (More) Thoughts on ObamaCare

There is no Constitutional Right to health care. The federal government continues to overstep the Constitution in the mad rush to control we the people. The only powers the Federal government is constitutionally supposed to have is the Defense of the nation and the regulation of trade between the states. THAT'S IT.

They've bankrupted the Medicare/Medicaid/SS system. Why would anyone think the government could run healthcare is beyond me.

Medicare and Medicaid contributes to the cost of health care for the rest of the nation because health care entities have to make up the cost by charging everyone else MORE.

Bet no-one has ever gotten a job from a poor man. But of course, the Dems make this all about rich vs poor, white vs black.

ObamaCare: Oh, the Horror!

That's just the first hurdle for one of several bills, each with fluctuating cost estimates. For the House Democrats' version, the CBO estimate tagged the 10-year cost of the plan at just over $1 trillion. 

"On a preliminary basis ... the proposal's provisions affecting health insurance coverage would result in a net increase in federal deficits of $1,042 billion for fiscal years 2010 through 2019," the report said, citing additional expenses for Medicaid and other federal subsidies. 

One Democratic aide said the bill would add up to $1.5 trillion over the next decade. But the CBO estimate showed that even if the price tag holds to $1 trillion, more than 80 percent of the costs will hit in the last five years. This indicates that after 2019, taxpayers could be hit with a rising tidal wave of health care expenses resulting from the shift in health care coverage from the private to public sector.

This house was built in 1935. The wiring was added in the early 1950's (and some added as time went by). Vinyl siding and roof updated in the 1990's. Total floor space 1250ft. Heating is three vintage wall heaters and a couple of (newer) space heaters. Cooling is 3 window units (purchased 2009). How much would cost to bring it up to the standards proposed in the Cap & Trade bill?
