Paid for by what federal dollars? The Federal govt. is broke and even our president has said so. The federal government is bailing out California currently while borrowing 41 cents out of every dollar they spend and will have to continue to do so unless serious changes occur (both bail out California and borrow money). Making a point about “different populations” doesn’t change the overall fact that someone is going to have to foot the bill for this thing and it will be taxpayers.

If you believe adding another bureaucracy of governemnt to pass out health insurance is going to lower the costs of medical care then I would have to believe you would drink anything the Obama put in front of you. As a nation, we will pay more for less, and in the end, pay more for very little, because it will all be going the the bloted state medical bureaucracy workers pay, benefits, perks, and pensions. Greed has to be eliminated, and soon. 🙂

Most people cannot cope with managing a 401K let alone wading thru what will turn out to be a minefield of government health insurance regulations. Mind you I am sure those lovely bureaucrats will be there to help.

While complicated we can expect some results. Chaos in the markets, market manipulation by powerful companies, crooks gaming the system, less care for those that had insurance prior, untimely care, and the possibility of refusal of care for elderly patients not deemed important.

If people cannot afford it before goverment became involved, how will they afford it after? Its going to cost an ocean full of money
