According to what I've read, health insurance is either going to go up
or down
for most people on October 1, or go away. Go figure.
If I was a betting man, I'd bet on it going up or away, not down.

I listened to a bit of his rant yesterday. The Tea Party element is
complaining about being charged for Obamacare by being forced to buy
insurance. So why the hell didn't they support Single Payer? Why not
have what tax dollars you pay take care of your health care? I'm out
of the picture on this one because I'm on Medicare. But perhaps
Single Payer should just be Medicare for everybody.
We used to have non-profit health care in this country. Even many of
the health insurance companies back in the day were non-profit. But
then the "joy boys of capitalism" saw something new to hijack and
exploit. And we got screwed.
BTW, speaking of Medicare, I just sold a house that I held title on
but it was really paid for by my relatives who lived in it. A few
months back when I contacted my accountant for the tax consequences
she grimly mentioned the 3.8% Medicare tax. I didn't think that was
so bad because I assumed it was only on the capital gains. Nope, it
was on the sale price of the house. That doesn't seem right to me and
reading up it was one of the items hidden in the health care bill.
That's one thing that really may need to be challenged.
