Except they have no actual plan on how to 'encourage preventative medicine', and they just agreed on a $940 billion proposal. With the way that corporations run this government, everybody's premium will go up , not down.

I would dare to say that our government sucks at solving any problem. A few examples: U.S. Teens Trail Peers Around World on Math-Science Test http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12... U.S. prison population dwarf

I don't believe it's that ludicrous. I can either work 40 hours, and get taxed 50-70% on that, or I can work 20 hours, make enough to survive, and play video games for 20 hours which I enjoy. The government loses that 20 hours tax income.
