    Germany raises health premiums

    And this was the model for OBAMA CARE and remember how OBY said our
    health costs would be lowered. Again debt is forcing this to happen, and like I keep
    saying, the DEMs own every premium in this country.

    _____________________________________________
    To deal with a projected euro11 billion ($13.9 billion) hole in 2011, the government decided to increase premiums to 15.5 percent of workers' gross pay, up from 14.9 percent with contributions split between employers and employees. The hikes are to bring in about euro6 billion ($7.6 billion).

    Damn, 15% of my gross pay? Guess I'll have to sell that new car. The White HOuse said the
    middle class will have to pay for it after promising it wouldn't during the campaign.

    Once again, we told you so.



    From the AP in Germany:

    "Faced with a ballooning deficit in Germany's health care system, Chancellor Angela Merkel's government decided Tuesday to raise premiums and cut into the profits of doctors, dentists, hospitals and pharmaceutical manufacturers. The decision comes after months of wrangling within Merkel's coalition over a fundamental overhaul of the system and after a series of political blows to the chancellor and plummeting support in the polls. ... Germany's once highly regarded mandatory health insurance covers about 72 million people," but they can't afford it anymore. Wherever you look around the world all the plans that our socialists in this country adore, all of the plans that they want to implement here aren't working. They fail everywhere they've been tried. And Germany, lest we forget, was the model for Obamacare -- and now the Germans admit they can't afford it.
