Good Lord, what a nightmare of an org chart, the kind of thing only government can come up with. Would the government just get off our backs, please?

This chart only looks obtuse because it’s a map of how the new healthcare system will look within our current healthcare system. Half of the chart is the stuff that already exists. It is presented in a way that looks technical, implying that this chart was never meant to meet public eyes in a way a professor’s course liner-notes were never meant to reach the eyes of students.

In fact, this articulation of the plan was construed by the GOP, which leads me to believe that this chart is meant to be confusing.

Let’s address the following: Oh, I forget [sic] cost doesn’t matter when you can put the cost on the taxpayer’s back.

Here’s a premise: everyone wants healthcare in some form or fashion. Let’s assume that the average person gets healthcare from his employer or from an out-of-pocket healthcare plan. Employers provide health benefits by taking a deduction from their employee’s paycheck to cover the cost of a business healthcare plan. Either way, the average guy with healthcare is paying for it. The cost is on our backs, regardless of the lies we tell ourselves. What are we paying taxes for if we do not benefit from it?

Oh yes. We’re paying so that republicans and democrats can devise charts to slander one another. (;
