Reply #39: Well first off, that wasn't my question [View All]

I asked what an insurance policy worth $800 a month more than mine covered? I live in an expensive area, everything else costs well above the national average in everything else, so I assume health care as well. And yet, my insurance costs my employer about $400/month. Or roughly $5k/year. In an expensive area. All I want to know is what you get for $800 more a month? That's a Cadillac plan, as defined by the bill in question. So what do you get? Almost anywhere in the is cheaper to live, so what's the money for? If you paid $800 more in rent, you'd have a nicer apartment, right? So what do you get for $800 More a month in health insurance? Is that an unfair question?

And second off, your point about passing on costs is a fallacy. That can be used to argue against any and all regulation. Higher minimum wage? Pass on the costs. Refuse emmissions? Pass on the cost. Improve worker safety? You guessed it, pass on the costs.
