Lack of Health Care Reform means American Wage Stagnation Roland00 Send a noteboard - 21/01/2010 06:38:11 PM
I am not saying the Senate or House health care bill will bring down costs by itself, it is a start though (And it is not Obamacare, Tom you are smart enough to recognize that Obama has been hands off and let Congress drive the process calling it Obamacare is intellectually dishonest).

Without Health Care reform that reduces costs, insurance costs will continue to increase. Since our health care insurance system is tied to employment; employers costs increase for providing the same amount of health care. Our wages may not go up but what the cost an employer pays for a worker will continue to go up. There is a greater correlation between health care costs and wage growth than there is with wage growth and economic growth and wage growth and productivity per person.

And these additional health care costs do not lead to better results. We are paying more yet not getting healthier.

God I love reading the shit at DailyKos right now. - 20/01/2010 02:45:23 AM 948 Views
Actually, there is a chance they can use reconiliation to pass it. I hope not. - 20/01/2010 02:46:47 AM 1006 Views
If they did that, they'd be signing their own resignations. - 20/01/2010 02:54:56 AM 910 Views
Probably so but Pelosi did bring it up a few weeks ago. - 20/01/2010 04:05:17 AM 906 Views
Pelosi never thought it would come to this a few weeks ago. - 20/01/2010 04:18:15 AM 899 Views

That would be so massive a reform that it would never ever pass. - 20/01/2010 12:47:23 PM 962 Views
I think "tries" is the key word here. - 20/01/2010 07:44:53 PM 929 Views
