Who pays for healthcare???

.Who is really paying health insurance aka disease care in America.
Folks lets check the facts and do the math and you will find it is us the taxpayer paying 100% of it all.
1. The "Private Sector" as the republicans so fondly call it is "Providing" health insurance but it is us the taxpayer after paying taxes on our wages and purchase the goods and services from those businesses who "Provide" health insurance. Providing employees with health insurance is a business expense and it is build into the price of those goods and services we buy and is also tax deductible and it gives those companies who refuse providing health insurance an unfair advantage because they charge somewhat lower prices and yet reap a higher profit margin.
2. There are about 14 million federal employees with health insurance paid for by, yes you guessed right, the taxpayer and the same goes for our city, county and state employees of about 45 million people.
3. Those unfortunate people who have no health insurance due to unemployment or who have jobs with companies that use predatory employment practices and other factors cannot afford seeing doctors as needed and will and do end up in the emergency rooms of our hospitals that are again paid for by the taxpayer.
4. Medicaid paid for by the taxpayer.
Well, having said all that i think a redistribution of this existing wealth should suffice to include every man, woman and child.
