This is funny:
The Logic of ObamaCare:
1) Who will pay for higher costs of providing care for the old, the sick, and those with pre-existing conditions? … Answer: the young and healthy.
2) But the young and healthy are generally poor, how will they pay for their premiums? …. Answer: they will be subsidized by the government.
3) But where does the money to subsidize the young come from? … Answer: We will take money ($500 billions) from Medicare (i.e. the old and the sick) to pay for the ObamaCare subsidies.
4) You're going to take money from the old and the sick (under Medicare) to pay for the subsidies for the young and healthy, so that they in turn will pay for the old and the sick (under ObamaCare)? … Answer: Exactly … Oh, and we're going to increase taxes and the health care premiums on the middle class too!
