Your graphs may or may not be accurate I really don't know, they most certainly do not justify passing a very bad reform bill.

Obamacare in no way does anything to improve the situation, but just the opposite makes health care spending rise dramatically, cuts benefits for many and does almost nothing to improve health care.

I'm retired and on Medicare and have been paying into it since it's inception and 1/10 for my social Security check goes to paying even more. Add the fact that I have to pay $200.00 a month in supplemental insurance to get even reasonably good health care coverage. Now this idiot wants to take away some of my benefits and give them to someone else for free.

He may seem good to you over 8,000 miles away in Australia but you don't have to pay the bill that this idiot has run up. He would look good to me too if he was 8,000 miles away on another continent and I wish he was.

The last idiot we had and this one we have now are actually making Bill Clinton look pretty good, could stand the man myself, but even though he didn't accomplish much he didn't screw up much either.

I have been around since the Eisenhower administration and in all those years I have seen some pretty bad politicians but nothing to compare to the slim balls we have running our country for the last year, and the previous bunch wasn't much better. Back to back idiots.

Just for fun go find a graph that shows percentage of tax paid in all those countries and see just how cheap health care really is.

Public option health care is not Socialisum but it's a very big step in that direction, one I don't care to take.

There are far better ways to repair health care than Obamacare. Let's start there and fix what we can than see about getting better care for those that can't get it or afford it.
