Will Obama's healthcare plan raise taxes for everyone including the middle class?

Question

..and if it does, does it balance out fairly with medical costs being transferred over to personal income tax?

Answer 1

Obama has laid out a plan for tax credits for working families,affordable health care,doubling money for after school programs,tax credits for people earning below the poverty level, a  $4,000 tax credit every year for college, among other things. Yeah basically too pay for all this we will be taxed through the roof. oh i agree on iraq but thats not all...what about all the foreign aide we send to 3rd world countries. We could slash all kinds of programs,but neither the democrats or the republicans will do that.  

Answer 2

No.  He is proposing a FEE based plan that offers an affordable option for uninsured/underinsured people.

Answer 3

Why don't we talk about what we could do for health care with the $1 Trillion we sent to Iraq

I pay weekly premiums from my check, plus Co-pay and have a minimum pay in. I bet anything we would pay as a community (hmm isn't that what insurance companeis do?) would be less than that. The only thing is, unlike the healthcare and insurance companies the goverments loyalty and main goal wouldn't be to make a profit off of it.

Answer 4

WHAAATTTT???????? Who do you think is going to pay for universal healthcare? Why do you think it's ok for your neighbor to pay for your healthcare. It is a privilege not a right. You must pay for your own healthcare.

Answer 5

We simply need to reallocate the dollars, not create more of them.

Stop corporate welfare

Stop the lies and the lies concerning war

Increase intelligence

Answer 6

How else will Obama fund his $874 Billion - Global Poverty Act ?

Answer 7

Yes, it will raise taxes. It will make the money spent in Iraq look like pocket change.

I am not sure what your tax question is, but it will cost everyone more.

Answer 8

Realocation of funds and ending unecessary wars,  and using that money would more then cover it.  Your saying everyone should pay their own?  Income is going down and bills are going up, no more pensions.  Who do you think pays for the ER cost when the patient can't.  Stop thinking of only yourself, your job may be gone tomorrow.
