Lou Card's generous spirit is terrific. But the best part of this new health care reform bill is that only those who can most afford it will be required to pay more. Remember, you have to make over 200k PER YEAR as an individual, before your taxes increase to pay for health care reform. My firm belief is that virtually none of those folks whose taxes will increase will experience even the smallest impact on their lifestyle. For them the worst that might happen is to end up choosing a 75-foot instead of an 80-foot yacht.
And for those who say that it is still not fair to single out certain people to pay more, remember that what they've earned, inherited, etc., is in large measure because they live in this great, free country.
