The more fiscal details of the health care bills emerge, the more appalling they seem. The Senate Finance Committee bill includes a broad provision taxing all manner of medical devices. This tax includes such frivolous luxuries as pacemakers, stents, artificial heart valves, defibrillators, automated wheelchairs, mechanized artificial limbs, replacement hips and knees, surgical gurneys, laparoscopic equipment, and the like.
President Obama is planning to reduce the cost of medical care by taxing it!
I'm not surprised. The bin Obama White House has maintained for long time now that there is money (and political gain) to be had off the sick and dying.
They're like the ghouls that used to roam the battlefields to strip the dead and dying of their clothes and valuables.
Pretty sick stuff.
