<p>^ I’ll believe it when I see.</p>
<p>I’m a bit perplexed why you didn’t mention any other points I listed, and decided to cherry pick a single sentence.</p>
<p>How much would a public option add to the deficit? Or is cutting the deficit not something you are really concerned about, as long as those entitlement checks keep getting cashed? Eventually the milk is going to dry up.</p>
<p>I don’t want to turn this into an ObamaCare debate, it’s pretty obvious (he’s even admitting it now) that it hurts businesses. It may generate revenue, but it’s also going to kill jobs…which will just lead to more entitlements. Not exactly a clean profit. Robbing from Peter to pay Paul.</p>
<p>If you agree with it on your own fundamental principles thats fine, if you think it’s worth the cost, fine…we can agree to disagree on that, but the business community has been pretty clear regarding it’s negative affects.</p>
<p>Plus, many argue that an excise tax on high end health insurance benefits is actually regressive to the middle class.</p>
