		<description>The health care plan will increase the deficit just like every other government program.  The government is not going to &quot;clean up the waste in medicare&quot;.  They are going to try to weasel this bill through the House and the Senate.  From that point they will do whatever they  can do to make sure that SEIU get taken care of at the expense of the American deficit.  Never again will he current administration bring up the concept of &quot;the plan not adding to the deficit&quot; or &quot;cleaning up the waste in medicare&quot;.  There agenda is SEIU.

I thought that after the Bush administration left that we may see the end of cronyism.  Now we have actually cronies.</description>

		<description>Way to go Water Over Gold,like your answer. 
We&#039;re talking trillions of dollars here, every time I here something about this price tag, I keep thinking we&#039;re not idiots like you politicians would like to think we do know how to add up the figures. What the American middle class ends up with will be a big fat zero.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m no English teacher so however you say it works for me. Everyone of us will be affected by the Obama Administration&#039;s plan for Health Insurance. Not Health Care, there is no care in it, only insurance money.
Those who don&#039; have ins will have it and those who don&#039;t want it will pay a penalty and those who do have insurance will see the company decide to go Public, it will be cheaper. At first.
What do you mean, won&#039;t kill jobs in other fields? It will end jobs in the insurance field as we know it. The Government will be the clearing house therefore all those folks who have studied the deductibles and co-pays for years, will no longer know the rules. The agents will not be able to know all that is needed, we&#039;ll end up with a clearing house of phone answerer&#039;s to tell us what is and what is not. And everybody except the Congress and the Military and the Unions, will end up in the pool. And after about the 8th year, the entire nation will be using the same health care payer, the government will be under water with the new program, just as they are now with Medicare and they will - be looking for a private solution. All this so the unions who are so top-heavy in costs stemming from their retirees, need a place to park them and get them off the union rolls.</description>

		<description>Because they&#039;re going to eliminate all the waste in Medicare....

It truly worries me when the government proposes to pay for something by  spending less money on that exact same thing.

That bill is longer than the Bible. I doubt if anybody really knows. The deficit is an imaginary number anyway as far as they&#039;re concerned.</description>

		<description>Unless America&#039;s economy reacts VERY differently from every other countries throughout history that has moved from a predominantly private to a predominantly public system, the overall economy will benefit and the deficit will shrink; the &quot;local economies&quot; of multiple insurance companies and brokers will be devastated, however.

One of the major (but rarely-discussed) differences between, say, a widget factory in Canada (where they have &quot;free&quot;, ie tax-payer-funded healthcare) and a similar widget factory in the US is that the &quot;down-time&quot; is far, far higher in the US because sick people (who, for instance, did not get a &#039;flu shot) come to work &amp; infect everyone else. 

In the US among those earning less than the median income, the number of work days lost to influenza is roughly 286 per 100 workers; in Canada, that number is only 143 per 100 workers.  You have to ask yourself why that is, given that most of those Canadians get paid whether they go in or not (within reason, of course!)....do you seriously believe American workers are just more lazy than Canadian workers?</description>

		<description>not only will it add to the already massive deficit, it will cause a huge tax increase that will eliminate any benefit we get from health savings. In the long run it will cost even more due to government waste, the lack of research dollars and increased fraud.</description>

		<description>OF course it&#039;not, even if it doesn&#039;t the first few years, your taxes will go up to pay for it and your premiums as insurance companes will be taxed and passed along. As more money leaves the private sector, the amount of revenue the government gets is reduced there by making the income to expense ration even worse.  This is by far the most fiscally irresponsible president and congress of all time.</description>
