I read the links you posted. I don't trust them because they are mostly opinions from right wing rags, but the ones on Obamacare bring up some interesting points. However, what the articles fail to point out is that we are already paying for the uninsured with taxes. Our taxes won't go up, they will just be more clearly defined. Taxes on medical coverage are used to pay for the medical coverage of people who would most likely end up in the emergency room. Emergency room care is the most expensive form of medical care. By providing more affordable coverage and having that coverage address preventative care, we save the amount of money we spend in taxes each year to care for the uninsured. There is a real argument to be made here that the taxes we will pay to provide medical coverage for all Americans is wise. The way we have been doing it has been penny wise and pound foolish.
As for the EPA articles you posted, they are all propaganda pieces as well. There are two sides to the argument. These links only provide one side of the argument. The other side is that without these regulations our air, land, and water become polluted. Once that happens, medical costs go up because pollution effects peoples health. The cost of cleaning up the pollution is passed on to the government which increases taxes. You see, the EPA was created for a reason, to protect the environment. Had the EPA and pollution regulations not been put into play, our Gulf Coast would still be an oily mess which effects the economy greatly. We can not allow corporations to opporate regulation free because they will not clean up their own messes or pay for the damage they cause unless they are forced to.
