Why do we need health insurance if we can get answers to all our health questions on Yahoo! Answers?

Lmao. Brilliant.

Do actually believe this is a "reform" effort?? as opposed to a BIG PHARMA/insurance industry bailout??

Government spending is paid for 1 of 2 ways:

1)monetizing debt ("printing" money) which leads to more inflation (=each dollar bill has less purchasing power)

2)higher taxes & new hidden taxes (carbon taxes, etc)

Well since taxes won't even begin to cover TRILLIONS in new spending, option one is being used to the max.

Now I want you to watch this 60 minutes interview from 2007. In it, the former comptroller general (nation's top accountant) says the United States government is bankrupt and that if it were a company if would have failed by now. He also says that at CURRENT spending levels (2007 levels) the U.S. govt. could only afford to pay social security and some medicaid by 2040.

Since then we have passed $1 trillion in bailouts, nearly $1 trillion dollars in "stimulus", and Obama has proposed AN ADDITIONAL $3.5 trillion budget.

Now if the comptroller general thought the U.S. couldn't afford to pay for Bush's prescription drug bill (from many years back), HOW is Obama going to pay for all this new spending???

He'll either have to raise taxes to levels undreamed or hyperinflate the dollar attempting to monetize more debt.

EDIT:

Why would Democrats VOTE DOWN an amendment requiring proof of citizenship to receive govt. insurance?

Are you tired of Obama pretending like he hasn't sold out to healthcare industry lobbyists?
