"Not a penny added to the deficit."
Let's see now, government administration costs plus actual pay out to doctors, hospitals, etc., minus premiums divided by the number of working stiffs minus the unemployed equals budget neutral. I don't see a problem any where in all that, do you?

In fact, in order to cover the varying unemployment numbers alone, the premiums will HAVE to be too high to cover those times when unemployment is its highest. That means there will be a profit pool which can be used for other non related uses......perhaps a refund? Oh wait that would be another hierarchy of administration.

I know enough to know that I don't have the answer, but then that's not my job, is it?.....I vote people into office who are supposed to figure this stuff out......instead look what I get....people taking more money away and telling me that it's for my own good. If you can't figure out that adding more expenses to your monthly bill will lessen your profits, I don't know what to say. Force our "Elected"s to accept their own product and maybe we'll get something worth while.
