Everybody Must Get Sick 0
In case you wondered why the Republican Party is adamantly opposed to reforming the US health care system, consider this bit from MarketWatch:
For people in the top 1% of income earners, avoiding those two tax provisions would translate into savings of, on average, about $21,000 per year, according to the Tax Policy Center, a joint venture of the Brookings Institution and Urban Institute.
And the richest Americans — the top 0.1% — would avoid about $125,000 more in taxes per year on average if the health law is overturned.
It is living up to its core mission: to make the rich, richer and the poor, poorer.
Making the poor sicker and the sick poorer is just collateral damage.
