[QUOTE="YukonGlocker, post: 2848497, member: 425"] yeah, I'm still ambivalent about the net effects of the family/medial leave program...for sure, the positive and negative long-term consequences are difficult to quantify...currently, i'm comfortable paying $1.61 a week for the benefit it will provide because i think the net effect will be positive for our society (in many ways). the only way the health care plan will cost you more money is if (a) you currently pay virtually nothing for health care (i.e., including premiums, medications, deductibles, co-pays, etc.), and (b) you never need expensive health care (e.g., major surgery, cancer treatment, heart treatment, palliative care, etc.)...for the overwhelming majority of americans, that isn't the case. this plan also allows our medical system to transition from a treatment based system to a more preventative based system, which will in itself save (everyone) a lot of money there isn't any evidence that the other programs will result in "passed down costs"...similarly to minimum wage increases, although this is an intuitive conclusion, in practice it doesn't happen (mostly because of the highly competitive free market we enjoy).
