Chapter 585
The main thrust of the Chapter 585 Health Care Reform Act is to rob the rich and help the poor
The people are looking forward to the effective implementation of the newly released "Health Care Reform Act"!
And the Xiao Ao Hei Cabinet, which has just been in power for a year, has finally recovered the support of the people at the bottom because of the introduction of this "Medical Reform Act"!
The night that the Obamacare bill was introduced to Congress and passed—
In the apartment by the East River, after the couple finished dinner, Pei Pei couldn't wait to pull her husband to discuss the important incident that just happened during the day today!
The topic first deduces from the aspect of why the "Health Care Reform Act" passed the vote in Congress so smoothly -
"Now that the situation has developed, I have to start to suspect that everything that has happened before is probably a premeditated plan that the new presidential cabinet has already planned! The purpose should be to use the power of the people to force Congress to compromise through the 'state autonomy' incident, so that his "Health Care Reform Act" can be passed smoothly! Austen's analysis always likes to extrapolate from conspiracy theories.
And the "he" that Austin refers to is the puppet-like little O'Black President in the past year.
- Why is Xiao Okuhei a puppet?
Austin then gave the answer -
I saw him hook the corners of his lips, and then analyzed to his wife: "Actually, as long as you carefully examine the bailout policies promulgated by the previous president, Republican Bush Jr. before he stepped down, you can deduce a lot of problems from them!" ”
Take the slogan "Save Wall Street"! Austin chuckled and pulled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. After lighting a cigarette, he looked at his wife and asked, "Do you think this slogan really is the wish of the new presidential cabinet?" ”
Pei Pei reflexively shook her head.
After Austin spit out a puff of smoke rings, Shi Shiran continued: "After going back and re-analyzing it at this stage, the conclusion is actually quite obvious - it is nothing more than being put on the table by the former president of the Republican Party who has just stepped down!" ”
As he spoke, Austin looked at his wife and asked, "Do you remember the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 that President Bush enacted before he stepped down?" ”
Pei Pei nodded: "What impresses me the most is that this bill launched the largest financial rescue plan of $700 billion in the history of the United States. ”
"By now, you should be able to see who the $700 billion has been spent on in the end, right?" - Austin asked with a meaningful smile.
"Cut!" After Pei Pei snorted, she replied with a disdainful face: "Do you still need to ask?" The conclusion is so obvious - the money is spent on the main culprits of this financial disaster, that is, all the Wall Street oligarchs who made the subprime bonds! ”
"That's right!" As one of the oligarchs on Wall Street, Austin doesn't seem to care about the characterization of the "culprit" in his wife's mouth!
I saw him shrug his shoulders indifferently. continued: "It is precisely because the people at the real bottom do not enjoy much support from national policies at all. That's why they are so easily incited to make trouble! ”
With that, Austin picked up the ashtray and flicked the ash, then continued: "I want to know. Your Excellency the Black President, who has been put on the table. is definitely not willing to wipe his ass for his previous term and bear the resentment of the common people! But. If he wants to break the Fed's monopoly supervision of the 700 billion bailout funds, he must find a reasonable entry point to intervene in the allocation of this fund! Therefore, there is only to stir up discontent among the population. He has an excuse to take back some of the right to use some of the funds from the Federal Reserve's monopoly supervision! ”
Austin's analysis and inference are logically very tenable.
When Pei Pei heard this, she unconsciously snapped her fingers, and couldn't wait to take over the conversation: "That's why you will infer that the previous 'state autonomy incident' that affected fifteen states is likely to be the instigator behind our newly incumbent black president?" ”
"That's right! It's the quickest, most effective, and the most effective way to get paid! Austin nodded: "I even guess that the 'job-sharing policy' suggested by His Excellency the President before has actually been prepared to be violated by the state governments below!" Only by making the people more and more dissatisfied with the government can the rhetoric of 'state autonomy' become more and more marketable in the public opinion! When this discontent of the people turned into a series of riots and demonstrations, until the federal government could no longer suppress them, His Excellency the President took the opportunity to force the Federal Reserve to release some of its capital control to the Cabinet. ”
Speaking of this, Austin suddenly changed his words and gave his wife an eloquent analysis of what kind of holes were buried in the "Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008" promulgated by the previous President George W. Bush before leaving office-
As long as you scrutinize it carefully, you can find that the two important rescue measures proposed in the bill actually hide an ulterior motive -
First, merge the "Superintendent of Thrift Institutions" (OTS) and the "Office of the Comptroller of the Currency" (OCC)!
Second, the establishment of the three major financial regulatory bodies in the United States!
When mentioning this second point, Austin also emphasized a key point - the most important regulator of the three newly established regulatory systems, the "financial integrity regulator", is responsible for the Federal Reserve!
First of all, he first analyzed what the merger of "OTS" and "OCC" represents.
The so-called merger is to give the Federal Reserve the two most important rights of the "regulatory payment system" and the "monetary settlement system" of the $700 billion bailout funds!
From this point it can be analyzed - after the merger of the two institutions, the power of the Fed has become greater!
And. There is also a "pit" hidden in this article that no one dares to point out - is this merger a "last resort" with a time limit? Or will it be a "permanent" merger from now on?
Yes, there are many smart people who see this bit of cattiness, but no one will deliberately pierce this layer of "window paper"!
I also know that once the initial "merger pains" are successfully passed, from now on, the "right to settle foreign currencies in the US dollar" that can still be held in the hands of the US federal government will be permanently deprived by the Federal Reserve!
And how could the newly appointed cabinet fail to analyze the serious consequences of this "merger"?
————————————————————
After Austin analyzed all the tricks hidden in the first bailout -
Immediately afterwards, he analyzed the hidden cattiness in the second bailout measure of the bill to his wife, who listened attentively-
The second bailout measure is in progress. One of the most important is the establishment of an independent "Financial Integrity Regulator"!
And the right of this body. It turned out to be in the hands of the Federal Reserve again!
This will mean that the credit rating rights of all banks in the United States will henceforth be completely monopolized by the Federal Reserve!
This right is simply a "sword of Damocles" for the entire banking industry in the United States!
From now on, what bank will dare to go against the Fed!
Who would dare to do it against it. This sword can make the bank's credit rating fall to the bottom in every second!
So analyze it. Anyone can see it - after Xiao Ohei came to power. What a mess he's going to be into!
Can he not have a big head when he comes to power?
Everyone knows that the Federal Reserve, as the central bank of the United States, does not own any shares in it!
And the Federal Reserve took advantage of the financial turmoil of '08. Then, from the rights controlled by the federal government, the two important decision-making powers of "currency settlement rights" and "credit rating rights" were swept away in one go!
In this way, Xiao Aohei's identity as president is no different from a clay puppet!
"Therefore, after Xiao Aohei comes to power, if he wants to get rid of his puppet identity, he can only use a little 'extraordinary means'!"
- At this point, Austin pressed the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, then spread his hands and smiled: "As far as the current result is concerned, it is obvious that his goal has been achieved!" So at this time, it is just right to launch this "Obamacare Act" smoothly, first, you can use it to appease and buy the people at the bottom not to continue to make trouble! Second, we can take advantage of the situation to solve this abscess that has existed in the American health insurance industry for a long time! In the end, no matter how hard this bill was finally implemented, he at least achieved a great achievement that no one had been able to do before him - during his tenure, he successfully implemented the 'universal health insurance' system and solved the problem of the poor 'having no money for treatment'! In terms of this political achievement alone, he is equivalent to winning the vote base in the hands of the majority of the people at the bottom for his 're-election' in the next term! ”
When she heard this, Pei Pei suddenly asked, "My dear, do you think his "Medical Reform Act" can be implemented smoothly?" ”
There's a reason why Pei Pei asks that.
Because, the "Medical Reform Act" launched by Xiao Aohei not only violates the vested interests of the entire medical industry! It is even more aimed at the entire rich class!
The core content of the health care reform plan, which was just passed in the House of Representatives during the day today, is that the total cost of the bill will be raised in the form of "reducing federal health care spending" and "raising taxes on the rich" within the next ten years of its formal implementation.
And the sum of this cost will be conservatively estimated to be $1.2 trillion!
In other words, in the next 10 years, the rich will pay for all these expenses of the poor to see a doctor and take medicine!
Although some of the funds will be allocated from the $700 billion bailout funds that have been raised. But in Peipei's view, this set of medical reform plans made by Xiao Aohei is simply walking a tightrope! He is tantamount to offending the entire rich class of Lao Mei!
Take the article "tax increase for the rich" -
The Act provides:
All households with an annual income of more than $250,000 must pay an additional 3.8% investment income tax;
In addition to paying an additional 3.8% investment income tax, families with an annual income of more than US$500,000 will also be taxed at a capital gains tax rate of 23.8% from the current 15%. (PS: In the real world of the second dimension, Xiao Ohei decided to increase the capital gains tax rate from the previous 23.8% to 28% in 2015)
Therefore, just the article "tax increase for the rich" is equivalent to killing Peipei, Peipei's maiden family, and her husband's family!
In addition-
From the point of view of "controlling the costs incurred in the medical process" required in the "Medical Reform Act", it has caused a huge loss to the vested interests of Peipei and its family business!
You must know that the "Pell Biotechnology Company" under the name of Peipei and the Kangmei Group under the name of the family belong to the scope of the pharmaceutical industry!
And once the "Medical Reform Act" made by Xiao Aohei is officially implemented, the most important loss - that is, the price of all drugs produced under the name of Peipei and Peipei's family business will be forced to be lowered!
Take the drug pricing of the "T antibiotic drug" that Pei Pei just "developed" last year (PS: the current time context has progressed to March 2010) -
When Xiao Aohei's "Medical Reform Act" is officially implemented, only the vested interest of the drug price of "T antibiotics", "Pell Biopharmaceutical Company" will be forced to shrink a large part of its profit income!
- That's worth it!
Money, for Pei Pei's other identity, is the four basic conditions of cultivation - the "wealth" in the wealth and the law!
Seeing that a large piece of "wealth" is about to be lost, how can Pei Pei's mentality be peaceful!
In fact, even she didn't expect it, she originally thought it was a "lively" event, but in the end, this fire would actually burn on her own head!
Pei Pei was not willing to give in so easily.
Moreover, she believes that the entire wealthy class and even the chaebol forces in the pharmaceutical industry will never be willing to give in.
I also know that all the power groups whose interests have been violated by the "Health Care Reform Act" will definitely unite and do everything possible to obstruct the implementation and implementation of the bill!
So—(To be continued.) )
