I run my own business and can tell you, there are ALWAYS unforseen circumstances with regard to expenses etc.
I wonder what percentage of government programs come in under budget? The Iraq war was supposed to pay for itself.... I can't imagine how bad they are going to miss the mark on the healthcare plan.

Post what you like, just make sure you can illustrate that it would be cheaper for the government to implement Universal Healthcare and without making you pay considerably for it.
In 2007, total national health expenditures were expected to rise 6.9 percent — two times the rate of inflation.1 Total spending was $2.3 TRILLION in 2007, or $7600 per person.1 Total health care spending represented 16 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP). link
Defending the cooperate RACKET makes no sense.

Obama's plan, would call for 8,500.00 per household just for the Global Poverty Act alone. The Universal Healthcare plan is similar in cost (over 800 Billion). You claim it would be easy to lower over what it is now??

If you say Obama's Health Care is $800 Billion that means he is saying he can give us ALL health care for LESS THAN HALF of what it cost 84% of US citizens to get health care in 2007.

You are not going to save anything, and if you do, will be at the expense of some poor quality healthcare and services. It will no doubt be bloated and inefficient and you'll be paying for it very handsomly.
That is the bottom line. No numbers on Barackobama.com are going to change that.

20% of your taxes are put into defense and if you read 6% of your taxes were sucked into defense after 9/11.
War not costing citizens money? Yeah, right... down right blantantly ignorant and disinformation.
What's your purpose here on ATS Jetxnet?
