Hmmm... could it be because so many of you believe you have a 'right' to health care?
How is that 'right' going to work out for you if you can't afford your meds?
Amusing, considering I took MMA as an expensive joke, one completely unfunded, with hope $800B would grow on tree. It was the "right" at work after all.
The extra incentive was the subsidy, which they still have. Being able to write off the subsidy as their own expense was simply corporate welfare and a huge handout to bis business.
No problem... the government can KEEP their subsidy and tax deduction to pay the EVEN LARGER expense of providing Part D plans for those millions of seniors.
Now we know why Obama and the Dems are deficit spending us into oblivion... they have absolutely NO financial sense whatsoever.

Thanks to the "fiscal conservatives" planning it all out in 2003.

WHO keeps claiming, repeatedly, that medical care is a "right?"
You should be celebrating Part D, it gave liberals exactly what they wanted... a "right" to meds for seniors.

So... they gave subsidies and tax deductions to corporations to save the government money, and saving the government money while providing a wanted benefit is a bad thing because...?

So you are for getting rid of part D? Just so you know if you remove the so called corporate handout and get rid of part D...seniors are going to have a hell of time paying for their drugs.

They gave subsidies to try and save the government money. They added a loophole to allow big business to write off the government subsidies as their own expense in order to give big business a handout of corporate welfare.
The time to talk about potential for growth in debt was in the 1980s, or even 2001 when we actually had a budget surplus.
You mean the "surplus" that never was, as the national debt continued to INCREASE under Clinton?

So, if private sector could do it cheaper and better, perhaps they will without complaining. They will take care of the retirees too, better than the government ever could, right? After all, they're still getting tax free subsidies from the government. Now, wouldn't they?
No, Obama and the Dems trashed that government funding-saving deal in their HCR bill.

They gave corporations money and let them write it off via tax credits.
In return the government SAVED about $600 it did not have to spend on retiree drug prescriptions.
For once the government SAVED money and you're happy ?

So Obama and the Dems are ending that, and now the government can pay $1,209 instead of $665 per senior for prescription coverage. What part of that is a good deal for the government?
