How much is the government run insurance going to cost us exactly?
100 dollars?
I'm guessing you are asking about a Government sponsored health insurance plan,
As of now, the public option hasn't been passed, so there's no way of knowing what the Gov will charge for health insurance premiums,
Well it is not as much as we pay now for people going to the ER instead of the clinic bc they don't have health insurance. My taxes wont be as much as I pay out of pocket for bad health coverage. It wont even be as much as we loose now for the would be doctors that cant finish med school bc of the high cost. Govt. run health systems run more smoothly and provide free education to talented people so that we can get the best of the crop instead of just the ones that can afford med school.
The politicians have worked very, very hard at avoiding that question. All I can tell you for sure, is that every government program always ends up costing VASTLY more than they say it will.
After all, these are the guys who are paying $800 for a toilet seat that sells for $10 at Lowes.
There is no 'new' governement run insurance program. If there were then you could expect it to be as well run as anything else the governement does...which is not very well. Why would it when there's nobody with a vested interest for it to be efficient?
Dude, there is no program yet.
