Economics 101

The loopey Democrats in the state House and Senate of Maryland, decided to take advantage of a special session on medical malpractice lawsuit reform to create a bill that taxes the health care providers in the state, 4% for the services provided.

Republican Gov. Erhlich, rightly, vetoed the bill, saying it does nothing to address malpractice lawsuits, and it would wind up being passed on to the customers of the health care providers.

The loopey state Democrats decided to override the veto.

Guess what? The health care providers have applied to the state insurance commission to raise their rates enough to cover the 4% tax. And now the state Democrats are mad.

Well... DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Common sense should have told the fols that the businesses would pass the cost along!
