Columbia, SC – February 22, 2010 – South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Karen Floyd today released the following statement on President Barrack Obama’s new $1 trillion healthcare plan, and state Democratic gubernatorial candidates’ silence on the issue:
“When it comes to the idea of government-run healthcare, South Carolinians have been clear that they do not want future generations crushed under the debt it will entail, and they do not want Washington bureaucrats making their healthcare decisions for them,” Floyd said. ”It is time for our state’s Democratic gubernatorial candidates to stand up and be counted on this issue. Do they stand for liberal, debt-loaded solutions pushed by the president, or do they stand with hard-working South Carolinians who want real healthcare reform? So far, South Carolina Democrats’ silence has been deafening.”

I want to understand both sides; I read somewhere that insured individuals like mysefl is currently paying $1,017 a year and a single person who is insured now pays $368 per year to insurance companies in premium just to cover the uninsured and it suggest that the insured has payed out 42.7 Billion this year alone just in premiums not associated with covering anyone but the uninsured. If this is correct, what are we saving by not having the uninsured be covered and responsible for paying some of their own insurance cost as the Democrats are suggesting.?
