I love that too. The important thing is that the program does in fact cost not a penny more than what is already spent on healthcare.

The difference? Cutting out the insurance companies - they use up 33% approximately of all health care costs. That savings means, for one thing, that 18,000 people will no longer need to die in the United States every year due to lack of health insurance, and bankruptcies will decline dramatically.

This is the future, it is only a question of how soon we get there.

If you read that stuff closer you will see little things thrown in to make things look worse as in the how they mention bankruptcies. If you read they say medical bills and dept. Well last time I check dept was allways a big reason people went bankrupt and they just slide that in to make the numbers higher. They also talked about a lady who injured her arm in an accident 5 years ago and was denied coverage because of prexsisting condition. I would also like to know the rest of that story because that makes no sense at all and is a very poor example. If you have health ins. like they said she did you can move it to another co. and they cannot not underwrite pre exsisting conditions. I know this for a fact as I just switched health ins. and my daughter had racked up 50 or so thousand in med bills which they could not underwrite against because we had prior ins. They also seem to skip around any real numbers to the cost of this program. They use a guy who owns a business and cannot afford to pay his $400 per month ins. but they some how think that he could afford to pay for his and his 4 emp. under this new plan. Huh! If I had time I could find more errors or lake of information about this plan and wanting us Americans to give our goverment control of around 10% of our economy for them to control and run like a well oil machine just like Social Security. As I said bad idea no matter what party is in control.
