why does Obama keep using the 47 million statistic?
Why does Obama keep using the statistic of 47 million uninsured that need his plan? People making a certain amount of money will not receive any aid under the proposed plans, illegals will not be covered(they actually will through loopholes built in to the plan) and that only leaves 7-9 million. Why doesn't he give an honest number instead of a sensationalist number.
He claims 47 million need his insurance plan (inflate the number to make it appear urgent). In his speech last week he said only 5% of the population would sign up for the plan(deflate the number to make it appear affordable).
Why not just tell the truth and give honest (or at least consistent) estimates?

It's interesting...
he uses 47 million to justify pressing forward...
but he uses a 30 million number when he talks about "stress put on the health-care system".
I love that he's going to FINE any AMERICAN that doesn't provide for their own health care, or go with his.
Look I'd have no PROBLEM with a PUBLIC OPTION... if it were truly OPTIONAL. Not when you pay in if you use it or not... not if your employer is PUNISHED if they don't go with the "public option"... not because "competition" isn't really fair if ONE SIDE gets FREE MONEY.
Anyone who's paying attention - sees things that are just plain WRONG.

Actually that is exactly the number because that includes the illegal alien immigrants. Obama is trying to underhandedly cover them since they are already covered now through Medicaid and Emergency Room services, paid for with tax payers' money.

My bet is this will be the number of human deaths in the next false flag attack in the U.S.
They like to play with this kind of game.
6.000000 JEWS WERE CONSTANTLY BEING TALKED ABOUT BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF WW2,....strange, but true.
Makes you wonder though

Because he can not count that high, so he just repeats what he was told.
