Heath Care "Reform" Analogy.....
This is my take on this, based on reviewing several versions of a few bills, several non-front runner bills, CBO evalutions, and Census Bureau projections, almost all of which have been posted by me or others in here.....
Agree or disagree - that is your right and I strongly defend that - just be nice is all.....
Analogy:
I have 100 people that need a pizza every day.....I have 100 pizzas every day.....I have 25 servers at $10/hour every day.....oh there may be a minor fluctuation here or there from time to time but generally speaking it is consistent.....
Now I "reform" the system.....
I add 36 people to the number wanting pizzas every day, but takes me some time to do that, say 10 years.....I reduce the number of pizzas from 100 to 70 every day.....over 10 years.....I reduce the wages of the servers by $1.5, also spread over 10 years.....
I now have more people wanting the fewer pizzas, with fewer and less qualified servers (all the good ones left to work for Pizza Hut).....
But I am popular and believeable, so I tell you in the beginning and reassure you along the way that you will see no reduction in pizzas.....no sacrifice of quality.....no delays in getting your pizza.....
If that happened for real we would be up in arms about it.....but this health care so-called reform is - in my opinion - about to do exactly this.....
