So these people that are not going to be receiving health care from medicaid or medicare are going to be switched over to his new health care plan, wouldn't that SEEM like all this money would still be paying for these same people, just under a new "health care plan/name"!

Shhhhhh, stop talking such nonsense, you'll get yourself in trouble. Imagine that crazy talk coming from you, you know those people on Medicaid and Medicare aren't getting any treatment.

If they say it's savings......it's savings......get with the program. Thinking isn't allowed, you must trust your Government to do what's right.

hehe i cant really get over it all you who says: OMG where did he find all that dollars to get this working, when your government glady putted at least $868,998,083,957 into Iraq and Afghanistan and thats only money who helped killing people. These 300.bill. he wants to use now is on your OWN health.

Ignorance really has its tow in here at some people, in my opinion.

Best regards.

Why is it so scary for you, and others like you to have AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE instead of turning the U.S. into a Socialist, or worse Communist dictatorship?....

GM is now NATIONALIZED, and several other companies will follow suit. There are several Socialist programs which have alredy been signed by President Obama and have become law, and these programs you find in Communist dictatorships, not giving people a choice to serve, but REQUIRING their MANDATORY SERVICE....

We object to the turning of the representative Republic into a Socialist, or worse Communist dictatorship, that's why we object...

AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE is a much better choice than NATIONALIZING HEALTHCARE.

BTW, i am not yelling, just trying to make a point with specific words...

I was a contractor doing IT work at an unmentioned insurance company for about 2 months. I seem to recall them spending money on redoing the landscaping/fountain outside so they could avoid making a profit. They were/are a "non-profit"/"not for profit" thing. I know there's technically a difference but I don't remember which one they were claiming to be. Seems they should have put that money into a pool to buffer the next years expected expenditures and just lower the premiums...but that would be ethical and make some sort of sense.

Obma better start finding more money. The price tag has increased.

The latest cost estimates for health care legislation in Congress are around $1.6 trillion over 10 years, two Senate sources said Tuesday as concerns mounted over the price tag for the sweeping overhaul. Two Senate staffers, one Democratic and one Republican, said Congressional Budget Office estimates put the cost of the Finance Committee version of the bill at around $1.6 trillion.

Exactly the initial cost is going to be much more than the 300 billions Obama is seeking.

He is promising too much and is not going to be able to deliver.

So he found all that money, cool start using it to atleast attempt to pay off our debt, maybe it will hold off our dollar dropping for a day or so ......

Naaaaaa lets just spend it on more stuff, so that in spending it on more stuff, we can create more stuff to spend money on! YEAH!

Yeah,that money was a waste too. Look at the failing US economy and you will see that all of that overspending has killed us. So you now are for more spending because we have already spent a lot which has crushed us? Genius.

Lets not forget all of the money Obama has given to his corrupt friends on Wall Street, just as Bush did. Lets also not forget that those wasteful wars that Bush created are still continuing under Obama. And before you say "it will take time to end them" remember two things, first Obama initially promised to immediately reduce troops, which he hasn't, and second even if he manages to come through on his rhetoric he still has promised to INCREASE the war effort in Afghanistan.

If he would brings all of our troops home tomorrow and spend that money on health care, I would be less upset. But the mantra continues to be spend, spend, spend, and both parties continue to sell our future down the road, now at a record pace.
