Shouldn't Obama FIRST cut out $500 billion of waste and fraud in Medicare that he claims he can do?

Isn't that's what should be done first before starting on another program?

IOW, fix what is broke first before bragging how you will build something new that won't get broke.

Update:

>>And what do you tell someone who is sick, but can't afford to see a doctor?<<

The same thing you've done for years before the "proposed" healthcare plan... go to ER.

Update 2:

Maureen S:

He's a socialist. He was before he ran for office and he is one now.

Have you ever lived in a socialist country? I'm sure you haven't, but you can't show me ONE socialist country that was successful.

I don't want our country turned into a socialist country.

I didn't BEFORE he was elected and I don't now.

He is a far left liberal flake like so many that support him.

If you would have followed "Citizens Against Government Waste," a nonprofit, nonpartisan, group of one million watching congress, you would know how wasteful Obama was before he even ran for president. He was one of the worst, and only was in office a short time.

Worse yet, he is doing this as president now. IOW, I was right... he is as bad as I expected.

    Looks like many hours of YOUR day is thinking up "stuff" to prove President Obama, wrong.

    Why is that? We can see that right from the beginning you have not been a Obama fan and you are keeping up the attitude without giving him a chance, or at least a year in office, to prove himself.

    But, YOU do not want him to prove himself, do you. Again - why is that?

    You are wasting your time. President Obama is doing an excellent job, especially ignoring those who are continually on his back berating him for every single move he makes.

    I bet when I look back at your page in a years' time you will have spent many hours trying to convince us that President Obama should not be in office.

    There are too many of us who are behind President Obama to concern ourselves with somebody who never wanted him in office, in the first place.

    Again - why was that, even before he was elected. You did not want him in from the beginning. Why (again) is that.

    yes that is what needs to be done, not with just medicare, but with all the gov.run projects, there so much waste and its stupid, but we will never get it fixed with the people we have in office, like the supreme court members, they dont need to be pointed for life how stupid is that when u think off it, they like anyone else in the gov. should have to defend there job on a yrly basis, and until we have it like that nothing will be done , the government is suposed to be for the people and by the people, it is for the ones in office and made up by them also, in there favor, we the people have no say anymore, we need to change that, its that simple

    the gov. pay way to much for job that are done for gov. that's the biggest waste of all then buying stuff at a high price most of the time work is substandard and material is to. but that would take a way jobs from family and friends of the gov. officials. its more easy to take off of the poor people who don't have a lobbyist lining the pockets of gov. officials.

    And what do you tell someone who is sick, but can't afford to see a doctor? Perhaps, "You picked the wrong time to become ill". Do both at the same time.
