Any money taken by force from the people who actually pay the tax, then redistributed to others, no matter which politicians invoke it and what convolutions they go through to disguise it, is fascism/socialism. It plays right into the hands of fascists/socialists, proposed by the Bush administration and now co-opted by her Heinous or not.
Of course as soon as you sign up a bunch of people based on largess from the government (tax credits) the demand just went up and the price just went up for everyone else, making it an even higher tax on We the People. And the pressure for an “affordable solution” — full-blown fascism/socialism — just went up. Try paying a fair price for your kids college in times when half the population, including illegal aliens, is getting in-state tuition gets freebies.
It IS only reasonable to permit everyone to get the same tax deductions though. Individuals should be able to deduct all medical expenses as fully as businesses, but forget tax credits. (And let college tuition be deducted too while you are at it, since businesses can deduct whatever hair-brained training costs they want including tuition money for employees.)
The Free Market works even in health care, but these creeps, including many so-called conservatives, always distort the free market and then point to those non-free market distortions as evidence that fascist/socialist methods are the only viable solution.
They point at Interventionism (thinking it's Capitalism), and rightly say, "It doesn't work".
Exactly. Interventionism doesn't work! Give "Capitalism" a chance. (See my profile page for details)
