I would say "the GAO of the United States, David Walker (?), says that the Government is in $53 trillion in debt when you include Social Security and Medicare and in the next 20 years, the United States will be totally bankrupt when the rest of the baby boomers start their entitlements. How can we afford a new entitlement with Univseral Health Care when we can not afford the current system, we currently pay 4 months of our salary in taxes, and we borrow $1-3 billion a day from China?"

(I don't have a camera, so go for it).

Also its not government funded healthcare their plan is mandated health care... Did You see the debate when edwards pointed out obama's & hillary's plan both had a hardship exclusion and stupid americans didn't catch it. Why would the have a hardship clause if it was paid for by the government. They are going to force people around the country to buy health insurance plain and simple.

Few things I don't get are:



Nothing provided by government is free. We pay for it through taxes.
Once government either pays for something or subsidizes it, the quality
of the service will go down. Removes incentive for better service and
lower prices.
With this sort of "Universal Health Care" we are coming dangerously
close to a Socialist system.


Am I missing something here?

Hillary'd raise government spending by $218 billion; Barack would raise it by $287 billion. If none of that's going toward healthcare, where's it going to be spent? :eek:
