Tom C asked:


I know cons are in a frenzy complaining they raised the income limit too high for eligible children, but wouldn’t any money being saved from a family obtaining this benefit just be injected right back into the economy with more spending? Example, family “A” currently spends $10k per year in health coverage, now they are covered by a federal program, now they have an extra $10k to spend on clothes, appliances, down payment on a car, whatever. That means more profits for those companies, they report more tax, which means more revenue to the government and we are back to square 1. It appears to me that in the end, this turns out to be an allocation of revenues from the greedy and corrupt insurance companies to a whole assortment of other businesses, and with the comfort that more children will be insured by health coverage. Doesn’t sound so bad to me. Thoughts?

Nathan asked:


It will be 61 cents more a pack now. I just figured out on my calculator that this will cost me an extra $222.65 a year — if you smoke a pack a day that’s how much it will cost you too. I don’t know why they decided that smokers have to pay for this … what does this have to do with smoking? But it’s for “the children” What are your thoughts?

Enigma asked:


Aren’t you sick of this political maneuvering holding American citizens hostage while they waste taxpayers money playing their little games? Congress set the income ceiling on the healthcare bill so high they had to have known it would be vetoed. Come on.
Hey I would love to have free healthcare but if I truly deserve it making less than say 35,000 a year with 3 kids, why do the neighbors down the street making $80,000 dollars a year with 1 child, driving a new car every year and a 4 bedroom, $750.00 per month mortgage, deserve the same benefit.
