Of course it will!
I'm getting pretty sick and tired of working 6 days a week (I'm self-employed) and watching my TAX dollars go to fund all kinds of BS programs for the 'less fortunate'. I do without things so I have my healthcare.
I came from a VERY poor family...my father and mother both worked so I could get a better education....I started working when I was 15! Yep...crap job...and I've been pushing ever since to better myself.
As my parents once told me.....'LIFE'S NOT FAIR' & 'IF YOU REALLY WANT SOMETHING....WORK FOR IT'!
The 'entitlements' in this country are just way out of hand....nothing except Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness is guaranteed in this world...NOTHING...not even healthcare.
You want it....PAY FOR IT!

Lack of national health care destroys many in the middle class. 45% of bankruptcies are due to medical bills which aren't paid for by insurance. Many of the 50 million uninsured workers forgo necessary medical care and drugs. This can result in personal tragedy such as preventable heart attacks and strokes, higher infant mortality and birth defects, AND lower worker productivity from those who can still work but who cannot afford to maintain optimal health.
The plan would be to roll back the tax cuts of the Bush administration. This will have to happen even if a Republican is elected president. The difference will be in how the money is spent. On the middle east wars (the Republican plan) or on health care and paying down the national debt. (the Democratic plan).

the middle class as we know it has alreqdy been destroyed. you can't live comfortably when you are "middle class". there is always debt, things are too expensive, missing one check can damage your lifestyle.
and the working class can lives worse than they did years ago as well
national healthcare benefits everyone- once you pay taxes for it you can use it to if you like. if you like private and can afford it than stick with that.
we have great treatments in this country- but not great HEALTHCARE. we don't give our people those wonderful treatments. we have the second highest infant death mortality rate in the industrialized world
living healthy is just too expensive. it costs $60 dollars for a nurse to slap a bracelet on your wrist and take your BP at the ER. at that rate its cheaper to just save up for your funeral.
like anything from taxes- we all pay our taxes and the majority of us benefit. yes the bike riders don't care too much about the interstates they paid for and the childless adults don't care about the public school system they fund, but most people use the things taxes pay for

Don't know about you, but This middle class family, has been destroyed. Its not just the democrats though. Its the political elite as a whole. They & I mean ALL of them, they keep getting their raises, & I keep getting taxes added on. My local govt. here is NOW adding on 4.00 a month to my freakin water bill so I can help with a federally mandated, but unfunded water drainoff project, but you know what ? My wife & I really enjoyed that 300.00 G. W. fought sooooooooooooooo hard for us to get. We really did. So: I cant just blame the democrats. Its the WHOLE damned bunch in DC. They re ALL the same, A bunch of leeches..................But now, when the dems come out with their socialized medicine, and ALL their entitlements, I might just be able to get food coupons. I would be a site better off just getting behind the illegal aliens (oops) the 'undocumented' americans & stand in the welfare lines.

The middle class in Canada and Europe have survived national health care so I would think that the hard working middle class in th US would too. The people in the US who are very poor and/or do not work already have taxpayer paid health care. It is called Medicaid and combined with Medicare covers almost 25% of the population and nearly 50% of the cost.

Taxes on all tiers of government strengthen and the size of government will strengthen under liberal rule.. hundreds of many cases occurring persons very own inventory via way of 401k plans, hundreds of retirement plans make investments heavily in shares and bonds. Bankruptcies are led to via way of guy or lady over spending, hundreds have lost their properties by actuality that Democratic government rigidity on Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae to furnish loans to those that could desire to now no longer pay it decrease back people who have low incomes save having babies Taxes & policies of government alongside with union demands make manufactures to bypass away the country. Is it a Republicans fault that individuals won't paintings for shrink than $10/hr it particularly is a good looking sort of ignorant policies Take a actual seem at u . s . a .. There greater desirable very own computers, cellular telephones, automobiles, TVs refrigerators microwaves, ingesting places, boats, RVs and distinctive non needs in protecting with capita than distinctive u . s . a .

Not at all Medicare, which only has an overhead rate of 1 percent. Medicare is an extremely efficient health-care delivery system and with the US health care ranking 37th in the world we could use an improvement

It will be like it is in Massachussetts where they have mandated everyone get health ins by July 1. Many people are refusing to be a part of it and the politicians seem to be shocked at the actual cost of it. Deadlines extended, poor information. The whole thing will fall apart in six months
