It’s football season, so let’s use a football game as an analogy.

It’s not fair that a large percentage of the crowd can afford to buy a T-Shirt supporting their team because let’s say the T-shirt cost $25.00.

The government decides that it is going to require by mandate that everyone get a T-Shirt whether they can afford it or not, or even whether they WANT one or not.

so if 70% of the 10,000 people at the game bought T-shirts that would cost $187,500.00. Pretty good for the T-shirt vendors. but if EVERYONE gets a T-shirt because the government requires it, then the cost for all of the T-shirts goes to $250,000. That leaves $62,000 that the T-shirt vendor loses because they are giving away 3000 t-shirts.

So what does the T-shirt vendor do? He raises the price of the T-Shirt to $36.00 so that he makes the same amount of money off the 7000 people who DO pay.

Now everyone gets a T-shirt and go home happy, right? Oh… except those people who had to pay $36.00 instead of $25.00 to get the same T-shirt that 30% of the people are getting free!

But what does the government do? They say that 10% of the people who can pay are exempt from this law. So they still get the T-Shirt at $25.00. This changes the equation a LOT… now 1000 people get the T-Shirt for $25.00, 3000 people get the T-shirt for free, and the remaining 6000 people have to pay $37.50.

And the government has the gall to say that the majority of the people will get T-shirts cheaper than before they passed this law?

This must be some of that new math. Because 60% of the people paying more so that 30% of the people can get it free, whether they want it or not, just doesn’t strike me as “most people will pay less for their T-Shirts.”

I’m pretty good at math, and other than the prices, amounts, and percentages, this scenario describes EXACTLY how ObamaCare works.

Oh… and if you don’t buy your T-Shirt, you get fined $5.00 which only pays for 20% of a T-shirt.

Open your eyes people! You cannot give 100% of the country something that 60-70% of the county was receiving before and expect it to cost less. I don’t know if it’s ignorance, incompetence, or just sheer stupidity. But it doesn’t add up.
