Obama's health care can co-exist with private insurance?
A recent study says the public health care plan can co-exist with private insurance because they estimate only 12 million people will sign up. The statistic that Obama used in his speech is that 40 million people are uninsured. If only 12 million sign up, what about the other 28 million? Does it have to pass to cover the 40 million? Is it OK for it to pass because only 12 million will use it? Are any of the projections accurate given the wide gap in numbers? Are they just making up numbers to fit present argument? It doesn't add up.
This question is not about what the Canadian's have (or any other country) or whether they like it or not.(A lot of mixed reviews on that and a question of its own). This question is about the numbers being given to the public. We do have a right to know. This goes directly to the affordability of the plan, the lack of choice of coverage not to mention the huge number of insurance jobs that will be lost if the government puts them out of business.

Canadians like their health plan. Go live in Canada and you will fine that to be true. Obama's health care plan can co-exist with private insurance because it is already being done in the Netherlands and Switzerland. The 40 million number of uninsured is probably to low. The Obama plan is nothing like the Canada plan. The Canadan plan is a single payer plan.

Considering that the study just came out now, it really sounds like they had to come up with a study designed specifically to support Obama's plan in order to regain some support.
There are far too many "coincidences" with this administration.

Obama wants everyone on his socialist health plan, a plan similar to the Canadian plan which a lot of Canadians do not like at all.
