GOP-Governed and Right-To-Work States Saved the Economy’s Bacon in 2011
First, owning some health insurance plan is much less important to a healthy society than you and your liberal friends seem to believe. My cheapest period of health coverage was when I had an HSA and probably spent about $150 a year on health issues. The rest was gaining interest. I was in control of how much I contributed per paycheck. When I had standard health insurance in a previous job, I paid about that much per month (about $120) and it was use it or lose it. And many of you will notice that my premiums were on the CHEAP range and were still what I considered much more expensive than necessary to cover what I needed. Without insurance at all (current situation) I spend about $150 per year still, I just don’t have extra gaining interest. However, $150 per year is MUCH better than $120 per month.
Second, both health related bankruptcy and private health care spending (the main argument for the national version of the law) INCREASED after the health care law was passed in your state.
