Of course taxes do not add money to the economy...printing money and lowering interest rates do that....my point is that if you taking billions of $ from one party and giving it another the recipient is going to have to do something with that money....

If your premise is that there is going to be billions of $ re-distributed to health care providers and insurance companies because more people are going to have access to insurance and will demand more services then yes, there will have to be more infrastructure like hospitals and clinics built.

No my friend, my premise assumes no such thing...my premise is that the tax dollar is exactly the same dollar no matter whose hand it is in....the person who earned will put in the bank or invest it somehow and it flows back to the economy....the person who recieves it from the earner from the IRS does the same thing....that is my point and my premise...there is no difference....except of course the person who earned it and remitted no longer has it and that pisses us off no end....

Time will tell, my friend, time will tell. I hope your premise and these links are correct because it will mean that health care is more competitive and in the end less expensive (if businesses close in a growth market it has to be either poor management OR the competition is simply too stiff).
