Why do democrats claim they can pay for some of sociali healthcare with "found money" or cutbacks...?

when the money they "found" is just more of our wasted tax money? Shouldn't that money go to pay for the stimulus, or is it going to just get blown on something else until it's need for healthcare?

    The ONLY money the federal government has is revenue from taxes or levies from its citizens. There is no other way for the federal government to get money. When someone talks about the idea of funding a national health (or any other plan) they can only use "our" money. The point that is missed by those in favor of a national health plan, in my opinion, is that it simply will not work to improve anything. There is no documentation for it, no history of it and no example in any other country. So the premise of needing a national health system is false.

    Source(s): Sources are: common knowledge about federal gov't structure, followed by my opinion regarding the validity of a national healthcare system.

    The money they "found" was stolen from Medicaire and Medicaid, both programs already suffering from lack of funding. So, once again, Obama is breaking a promise. He said he would not tax middle class Americans making under 250k per year. Technically, this is not a tax, but what is a tax? Any activity that takes money or goods from one party without giving anything in return. Basically, it is stealing! Obama is going to steal money from retirees that have worked hard all of their lives so that they can have a little peace and security in their twilight years. I know he has touted penny pinching ideas that will allegedly save us 200 billion over the next few years. My question is how does he plan to come up with the rest of the 1.4 trillion it will take to socialize healthcare? The only answer to that question is TAXES!

    their secret plan is to stop all Medicare and Medicaid payments in the entire Miami, FL area.

    This is save so much that is currently fraud and waste that they'll be easily able to pay for health care for all the rest of America's uninsured.

    Source(s): not. what are they going to cut? Hospitals? as if my local one isn't running in the red already? Doctors? we already have doctors who wn't take any more Medicare or Medicaid patients -- going to cut their reimbursements? -- they'll refuse your existing patients and then we'll all line up at the ER where everything costs more, not less. idiots. cut malpractice insurance costs -- that'll save actual dollars.
