Can Obama Keep His Promised Not To Raise Taxes?

September 20th, 2009 by Halt Obama

Do you believe President Obama’s promise “not to raise taxes on the middle class”?  Chances are the “Middle Class” won’t pay higher taxes, but WE THE PEOPLE will if Obama’s Health Care Bill passes.  Let’s face the facts, The Health Care Bill will cost money, lots of money.  That money won’t come from the drug companies or the insurance companies, it will come from the “Every Class” of Americans.

According to the Boston Globe Article “Health cost to rise again”, health insurance rates in Massachusetts are going up an average of 10% this year. The insurance companies are passing the expense of the 2007 Massachusetts Health Care reform to “THE PEOPLE”.    Tim O’Brien, senior vice president of Blue Cross Blue Shield’s headquarters of Boson told the Boston Globe “the actual costs have been much higher than what were anticipated when the health care reform went into effect in 2007″.

Our lawmakers must look at the Massachusetts health care reform of 2007 and lean the lesson that government intervention into medicine is an expensive undertaking that we should not attempt.  Let’s start by reducing the waste from the fear of malpractice lawyers and set limits to lawsuits, and allow insurance to be sold over state lines. Make the law that pre-existing conditions cannot be a reason to deny insurance and that rates should be reasonable and fair for everyone.

    Is there such a thing as “Middle Class”? Politicians always talk about the middle class but it seems everyone is paying taxes at every turn. If it’s not called a “tax” it’s called a fee, permit, license, toll, or HIGHER PRICES that are passed on by the companies that have to pay higher everything. Mr. President and the politicians, please stay out of the doctor’s office and focus on helping the doctors do their jobs and not worry about malpractice lawyers.
