The govenmet just wants more money and they will use any excuse they can get away with. They don't pay our medical, we pay out the nose for it ourselves.
Those with insurance pays for those who have none...That is why my insurance pays $190 per doctor visit, + I pay $20.00 copay... Those without insurance pay only $60.00 per visit to the same doctor. Same with eyeglasses.
To be honest the government is crying because the babyboomers are living to long, and breaking the retirement fund limits.
The longer we live the worse it is for government, they hope on us never getting back the amount we have paid in. Now they want to vetch and moan that we are not living long enough and needing medical attention because of soda pop! So a tax is suppose to fix all this...HAH!
Sure, they also tax the sunshine for those wih solar energy, and at the same time say we are consumming too much gas and electric that we are not taking care of the planet...It is all a bunch of bull dooky
