May Congress be done with the healthcare debate.
Too bad that this display was complicated.

It will also be very expensive to us all as taxes are going up not to mention premiums. Those that are not covered by health insurance frequently find themselves in that situation because of conscious choice much like that we all face when deciding the items we to purchase from a store day to day. We pick one thing or another based on our knowledge of our needs.
Do we benefit if a third party such as the government decides those choices because I am afraid that is one of the results of this legislative decision? It could have been solved without expensive new agencies, government workers and entitlements.
Expand tax credits for those willing to contribute to purchasing their own insurance and open up the world to competition. Lower prices result from open markets letting those that are good at product delivery thrive. People don’t like poor service or unresponsive vendors and so they don’t last long.
The issue of making those choices resides with you instead of the government.
Post Office service here we come.
