It’s like rubbing salt in a wound, isn’t it? I think it’s a lousy idea but what I would expect from good ‘ole Sonny.

So you get sick and they want to charge you more… on top of what your insurance might or might not pay. Lovely.

If we could tax Georgia politicians who do stupid things, the coffers would be full.

I heard it is either this tax or the tobacco tax hike. Both are terrible ideas but hey, its Sonny

This is to fill a Medicare gap, correct? In that case we should be taxing the people who use Medicare. I say we remove the sales tax exemption on Prunes, Metamucil, and adult diapers.

Seriously. We’ ve got an under-developed up Trauma system, we need more hospital investment, and Governor Perdue is telling hospital investors to f*ck off. Not smart.

There goes the “no new taxes” pledge. Incumbents will suffer.
