Starting to see a pattern?
It's called a Nanny State. Basically, Obama wants to be your Daddy.
We're about to be taxed into oblivion for health care reform that will cost more, cover less, and ration care.
But don't forget. Government loves you.
When Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus proposed taxing medical devices to raise $40 billion over the next 10 years for his health care plan, opponents started digging in and looking at what would be taxed. It turned out feminine products, like tampons, were classified as class I medical devices and thus, the “tampon tax” was born.
Poor women don't use tampons.
The backlash was quick and severe enough against the idea that the committee quickly drafted new language that would exempt those necessities from the tax, along with all other class I devices, like tongue depressors, and decided to only tax class II medical devices and higher that cost [more] than $100.
That darn public opinion. This is why the American people must remain ignorant. And then convinced they are too ignorant to govern themselves.
But, just wait for the revolt to start again because women will still pay a price under the new structure. Particularly new moms who want to use a powered breast pump to bottle milk for their babies. Those devices, labeled class II, typically retails for more than $100.It doesn't end there. The full list of items over $100 include dentures and dental x-rays and IUDS and breast prosthetics and hip prosthetics and mammograms and stair-climbing wheelchairs and 2900 other products.
Let's just start over. Tell me, for whom and what does health care provide after this Obama and liberal Democrat sponsored reform? And why are you people so freakin' jazzed about it?
There. That should save us all some time.
