"Under then bill pushed through in the middle of the night : 1.a healthy 25-year-old in Milwaukee will see his costs rise by 178 % . 2.A small business in Richmond with eight employees will see a 23 % increase . 3.Insurance for a 40-year-old family with two kids in Indianapolis will pay 106 % more 4.Collection of payroll taxes for the new plan will begin Jan. 2010 , but benefits do n't start until 2014 . 5 . Payment to doctors for Medicare patients will decrease 21.5 % next year and more after that . How many doctors do you think will continue to treat Medicare patients when that happens ? 6 . The plan will cost $ 871Billion over the next decate , but 98 % of the cost occurs after 2014 . 7 . Medical device manufacturers pay $ 2Billion/year in taxes . This will rise to $ 3Billion/year in 2018 , removing $ 1Billion that could be used for R & amp ; D and adding it to the cost of current devices instead . 8 . The rest of the country will pay ALL of Nebraska 's state contributions to Medicare FOREVER because that was the bribe that the Democrats made for the 60th vote . Now , Cake Lady , prove me wrong !"
"Well , this comes from the same people who invented the death pannels . The truth is that all the developed countries ( all of Europe , Canada , Japan , Australia , New Zealand , Taiwan , Israel ) have universal healthcare . Their COST per capita is about half of ours . They have better outcomes . Universal healthcare has been tried in many places and it does work . What does not work is our current system . Wellpoint has just increased premiums by 30 % even wiyhout a reform bill . They spend 30 % on administrative costs . BTW , do you oppose the bill that would force them to limit the administrative costs to 20 % ?"
