Where is the money going to come from? Mrs. Clinton has suggested that my income will be adjusted so that a small percentage will be used for premiums. Well, what is that percentage? Is it the same percentage for everyone? What about the grossly obese? What about the chain smokers? Do I have to pay the same premiums as those who have chosen to live higher-risk lifestyles? Is it an flat percentage of my income so that the more money I make, the more costly my insurance will be? I haven't heard any talk other than I will be paying a percentage and no discussion whatsoever on the choices people make about their health and how they live affecting their costs.
What about people who don't work? What about people who aren't on a salary? How will they pay their premiums?
What company is going to underwrite and handle the claims? Is this a violation of the anti-trust laws?
What's going to happen to all the companies who offer healthcare plans if the government is going to take it over? What will happen to those jobs?
Way too many questions have been unanswered on this issue, but I fear that if a Democrat is elected, they'll push for it anyway and "figure it out as they go."
