    So best  I could calculate from looking at charts etc regarding the democrats plans for single filers,                                        ( exemptions and subsidizies limits increase for two or more respectively. )   ( Income for two or more would increase before fines for no insurance would be implemented.) ..  

     Single making  228.25 or less gross pay each week you are exempt from mandates from both democrats plans.

     Single If your gross pay is 228.25 up to approximately 1000 a week you will be eligible for required subsidized insurance.

     Single If your gross pay is over 1000 a week you would have to have insurance or pay 750 a year fine and the most expensive healthcare plans would cost more..

     

    Under the republican plan if you are young and healthy you get a deal, older or sicker costs you more, quality of insurance will be worse.  State taxes will cost everyone more regardless of income.

     

    Without healthcare reform still going to cost everyone more, no help in controlling the Federal deficit and one insurance company so far upping premiums 39 % already.   Insurance companies have us by the throat, as premiums rise and uninsured numbers continue to increase it will escalate insurance costs for those that can afford it :  less customers = higher premiums.

     

    Higher income is screwed either way,  except for the republican plan which limits the increase of costs to higher income some and screws lower and middle income the most.

    The healthcare summit should be interesting,  it should poke some holes in both parties proposals.

    First the republicans were complaining saying they were not included which they were otherwise the democrats would not have included 160 proposals from republicans in the healthcare proposal.

    Now they are complaining because they have been asked to participate in the healthcare summit. LOL

    Just isn't no pleasing some people no matter what.

    what is interesting about the whole hoax is the dancing around the circle with nobody jumping in. The simple fix is THROTTLE the insurance companies, yes you (politicians) will lose that vacation and huge donations they slip you under the table, but this whole scam is just being engineered to let them continue doing what they have done for years. This issue is not really about healthcare as the sheeple have been led to believe, it is about incompetent a$$holes (again politicians) with their superiority complexes looking down at those who have been fooled for so long and trying to make it appear their changes to regulations with no thought of the future consequences is somehow not their fault! Pass the buck at its best.

    Throttling the insurance companies would be the best fix, but insurance is a major driver in our economy for private industry and that is the reason that Congress wants healthcare reform without destroying the private insurance companies.

    just look at who let insurance get to the place it is and you have the root of the problem, it is the same people with the mock concern for your insurance costs. You are not a youngster like some here and must remember when auto insurance was not mandatory...it was cheap, full coverage and I mean full, for a new car was $120 a year! now that it is law, thanks to bribes (lobbys) the payments are more than that! Mel Brooks said it best in Blazing Saddles "Gentlemen we have to protect our phony baloney jobs" and keep that in mind when you watch the cartoon show c-span.

    The only cartoon show I have seen on c-span so far is the republicans Senators theatrics.

     It is just the truth,  watch them.    A lot of difference between the actions of the two parties.
