The Cost of Obama’s Health Proposal

Experts believe the actual cost of President Barack Obama’s health care plan could reach well into $1.6 trillion over 10 years. This is in addition to the trillions of dollars Obama already has spent on health care this year through the stimulus package and SCHIP expansion.

    So if we cannot have full disclosure about the actual costs, and 1.6 trillion is an "estimate", and we know that Uncle Sam has a long nose (lies), what is real cost?

    Joey you must have a 4 quart picture of the Obamanation tainted Kool Aide. Tell me just one Program the government bureaucracy can run at equal cost as private capitalism can perform. Excessive unlimited taxation is the same as Bernie Madoff THEFT. TRICKLE DOWN TAX CUTS PROMOTE A HEALTHY ECONOMY. TRICKLE UP TAXATION STIFLE THE ECONOMY. CHECK OUT TAXPAYERSLEAGUE.COM. .Tax on just the cap / tax and trade will triple the cost of everything.....MULTIPLIES THE DESTRUCTION.

    Cost in trillions is one thing, but when the nursing homes are cleared out due to rationing of health care, consider the cost in morality of 2 million Euthenasia people over 55 who the Obamanation radicals determine should die. What about about the aspect of the program, "NO PERSON CAN BUY OR SELL UNLESS THEY ARE A MEMBER." ANYBODY RECOGNIZE THAT PHRASE?

    Sounds great. Less than what we are spending now, and much less than what we expect to spend in 5 or 10 years in the current system. Employers will have more money, savings will go up, bankruptcies down(which means more profit for businesses).

    Woo!
