How does the nation pay for obama's health care plan?

GoldenRivet · 07-22-09, 11:50 AM

the answer according to some government reps...

"We dont know"

and what do we the people think? according to some videos - Obama has not quite brainwashed everyone

"the plan will be paid for by the money it saves" indicates Rep. Russ Carnahan

well... the crowd's reaction? Laughter (apparently they know better):

and what about the super ignorant Katherine Sebelius?

she almost cant believe the jeers and boos

It is incredible how out of touch with the public these folks are. one attendee asks "If its such a great health plan, why doesn't congress have to be on it?"

ouch!

because congress wouldn't lower itself to our level of "care" - im betting they wouldnt have to pay into it either.

depending on the polling source you chose to look at, somewhere between 60 to 76% of Americans polled were against Obamas health care plan.

Obama and a fair number of congressional representatives are about to paint themselves into a political corner.

Simple answer - through the arse. We will be paying for it through the arse for years and years to come (until someone gets the balls to pull the plug on the program).

Altering tax structure would do little to redefine human nature IMO. You are always going to have people with a drive for success, and those without.

PD

true... but if someone is in Tax Bracket "A" and going that little bit further puts one into Tax Bracket "B" - they might just sit tight where they are.

personally i despise being forced by the government to pay for those individuals without the drive for success you spoke of
