Answer 1

Based on a number of things you said in your question, I am going to guess you are in the UK so my answer may or may not be correct based on you laws.

Here in the US, you can not make a bad car the problem of the finance company even if they also sold the car. Used cars are not warranted for 5 years. You borrowed money and you still owe then regardless if the car is completely out of commission. By dropping insurance you may be in violation of the loan agreement as well.

i don't think of it concerns precisely the place the money comes from it is going to value a lot extra money than what it does ideal now. If those expenditures are surpassed directly to the patron then all of us pays for it that way if legislations is surpassed to develop up taxes to disguise it then (those without clever accountants will possibly ought to pay) the wide-unfold public will pay. IF the value spiral could nicely be controlled as is was hoping by utilising Obama then the wellness as nicely because of the fact the profitability of yankee business enterprise will enhance. the foremost income of wide-unfold wellness care is the humanity afforded by utilising getting help to those in want. Reluctance and scoffing at its proposed income is a results of the great ABUSE perpetrated by utilising unscrupulous operators who've been defrauding the Medicare & different structures. the ecu gadget of fee extra tax is a validation of the concept of all individuals paying a share for the essential sturdy---it sounds incredibly great yet my buddy in Germany who has corollary economic problems has no health insurance and is tax broke besides!! Germany remains procuring the absorption of Deutsche Demokratische Republic so won't be a honest parallel even however our gadget is overburdened with welfare for undesirable human beings and for Wall highway. considering that our government is now interior the business enterprise of bailing out failed companies as quickly as they attain a undeniable length what's the definition of income any way ??
