Who pays?
The "health care" bill has passed in the Senate. To whose benefit? As always, fast forward to the final line:
"The bill includes tax increases on insurance companies, medical device makers, patients electing to undergo cosmetic surgery and drugmakers."
So, let's get this straight - the insurance companies are going to "eat" the new tax? Right! Maybe those who make medical devices will elect to "eat" the tax increases? Right! No, I know, it'll be the drugmakers! They will, naturally "eat" the new taxes! Right!
People who were burned in a fire and need skin grafts. Well, they are only people, so they WILL pay taxes. Those guys I feel for.
As always, it is NOT the companies that will pay these new taxes, but the consumers. AND, if the taxes are 5%, the companies will raise their prices 10%. If the taxes are 30%, the companies will raise their prices 60%. And blame the government.
Don't we all?
