That’s pretty much what will happen if Obama-Care passes because one of its provisions is to tax companies that make vaccines.
In an attempt to illustrate the real world consequences of reform’s taxes, Senate Republicans are pointing out a provision that would tax the makers of swine flu vaccines and drugs. The provision raises $2.3 billion annually from drug makers who sell their products through government programs.
“When everybody is coming together to fight a possible pandemic the last thing the government should be doing is taxing the people who manufacture the vaccines and the drugs to treat H1N1 flu,” said a Senate Republican leadership aide.
I am sure you can see the implications in this: company makes vaccine, doctors buy it, company gets taxed (so raises price); government health care plans refuse to reimburse patients who now can’t afford it; they don’t take it; they die.
Thanks, you lousy fucking democrats!
