Which includes $600 billion in tax increases.

House Health-Care Proposal Adds $600 Billion in Taxes (Update1) - Bloomberg.com

So you guys excited for the change in the way we handle healthcare? I sure am.

I know it was smartass, I'm asking for elaboration.

Well, the original plan had "cap and trade" fees that charged to the industry to pay for this.

The fact that it no way only costs $1 trillion.

The fact that once enacted there is pretty much no way out of it.

etc, etc, etc

My family will be happy to have health care now. So yeah, it's a start I guess. More changes to come hopefully.

....you'd be surprised by how many hard working people(just like your family) who can't afford healthcare.(like my family, if health care wasn't socialized in my country)....so you can cram a sock in it. I'm glad to see some compassion finally shown towards other human beings.

....was that "me"(you) for all those years, or was it more likely your parents?Some people aren't fortunate enough to have well-off mommies and daddies.

No maybe not, but all those people who worked extra hard to earn there money (and also started with nothing) now must pay more in taxes. My entire family went from nothing to something do to sheer hard work, regardless of the huge loans and many hours worked.

I read that article and I'm pretty sure they didn't say anything about more taxes are going to have to be paid by the individuals for this new plan. They are cutting corners to pay for it so that middle class workers don't have to pay more in taxes for it.
