I know that for a fact because I already got my cancellation notice and the bill for the Obamacare replacement is going to cost me $2700. more than my old plan if I don't need to use it. It will cost a lot more if I need it. Higher deductible and higher co-pays higher prescription coverage.

I saw this old 2010 recycled garbage on my FB page when I opened it a few hours ago and have been researching it since in order to also refute. I found your blog in the process. I am going to share your link in my refutation and add a few findings of my own. Again, thanks.

Raising taxes to cover the budget deficit would still have us paying well under the OECD average for taxes. Even the supposedly massive accumulated budget deficit would require raising taxes to the OECD average to pay it off over 30 years like a mortgage, something which hasn't bankrupted Germany or Canada as far as I've noticed (taxing at the OECD average I mean). If we wanted to pay it off. Which, if we're paying 0% interest, why would we want to do such a silly thing?<br /><br />So no, we're not broke, and of course neither are Social Security and Medicare, not now and, with only minor twiddling, not in the future. But the latter is a subject for another post.<br /><br />- Badtux the Numbers PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.com
