Obama claimed his Obamacare would lower the cost, increase the quality and cover 46 millions more people?

No magic wand, just cold hard statistics. We already pay for most of the folks that we would pay for under "Obamacare" as you call it. It is just that we pay for them through medicare, or through federal subsidies to Emergency Rooms and such services. But think about this, what costs less: taking a pregnant woman to an ER for a premature birth and caring for the preemie for 3 extra months, or giving the woman a few outpatient checkups and having a normal birth? Having some guy go to ER for knee surgery and a week in recovery, or a few visits to a PA, an x-ray, an MRI, and therapy -- all on an outpatient basis? Someone with a headache faints and is taken to ER, and finds out they have a brain tumor, turns out they had indicators for months and could have had early cancer treatment for about 5% of the cost. The ER cases are happening by the thousands everyday right here in the US because folks simply can't afford basic preventative medicine, so we are already paying for them through our taxes. Make basic healthcare available for them at an affordable rate (something private insurer's haven't done for the simple reason that there is no profit in it), and the cost of such emergency measures get slashed.

Okay, that is one big one. Obviously there are other issues that need to be dealt with, such as litigation that drives up the physicians' insurance rates, and thus his or her rates. Pharmaceuticals that have control over their copyrights now for longer periods than ever in history, meaning generics can't be produced, and the uninsured and underinsured cannot afford them. There are lots of basic fixes that need to be included in this healthcare reform, and no single one of them will do it all, nor will we have a perfect system afterwards, but anything is better than what we have now. And I am one of the folks who not only is lucky enough to have damned good insurance, but as a veteran, I already can get fully socialized healthcare, should I choose to use it.

They promised the same thing when they proposed Medicare, and it costs the taxpayer a fortune and is bankrupt.

Why is Social Security almost bankrupt when people are paying almost 15% of their income (yes, the company is simply deducting that from your wage), and collecting a tiny percentage of what we actually invested?

If I could opt out and invest my own Payroll tax, I'd have 10 times what I'll collect from Social Security, and the American public is too uneducated to understand that.

Everything the Democrats propose will be paid for by "someone else".

Ohhh ya he the great Obama is going to eliminate all the waste and fraud in Medicare and Medicaid to pay for his socialist take over of the health care industry . Course it has never been done in the over 40 years the programs have existed but the Great Obama will do it. Same as he ended the corruption in Washington , and tax loopholes , and has transparency and hired no lobbyists . You know all those other obvious and obscene lies he has told over nad over again.

He know what he is doing and it isn't health care that is the smoke screen.

Look at the proposed bill--look at all the rights you lose as a citizen--look at the way you are being manipulated into a complete government reliance for all your needs.

The cost is our rights, our freedom as Americans and our birthrights of Liberty, justice and the pursuit of happiness. How you ask? If they control your money they control YOU.

No he just hopes everyone is still drinking his Kool-Aid ! There is no way it is going to lower cost ! He is indeed a lair ! you notice he never gives any details , it is like the fine print that people get screwed with all the time !

I thought he said 30 million, 17 million taken out because of illegal aliens. 0bama lied again!

Thats why he is losing support. Rule of thumb,you don't get something for nothing

Joe Wilson was right.

It also makes Julian fries and bears your children for you.

Only in his sick twisted mind is any of this possible.
