Why is Obama not willing to increase the deficit one penny for health insurance?
Is health insurance less important than the bailout of banks, auto makers, etc, which has already increased our deficit many billions? Is the forced subsidy of health insurance by those who don't want health insurance a new indirect tax to pay for Obama's plan?

most likely the company's the country now owns considerable stake in will help pay our 10+ trillion (thanks bush!) deficit off. he's unwilling to essentially add this expense to the country's credit card. he wants to raise the taxes on the richest 25% (something like that) to the tax bracket that was during the clinton era (36-39%) as compared to bush's (33-36%). which will give us an extra 1.5 trillion over the next 10 years for healthcare. you will NOT pay anything extra unless you, as a single individual, are making like 80k grand a year, or 160k for couples. its going to be the rich man's burden. Poor them, people starving, and they won't get that Van Gogh until AFTER their christmas party. bah! the stuff above is kinda crappy, i'm confused but you should consider, my step-father's USPS retirement benefits are $500/month....minus $400 a month for health insurance for 2. he retired in 05 after 30 years of faithful service to recieve a $100/month in benefits after insurance takes it all, its ridiculous. seriously, there are people in this country that not been to a dentist or a doctor in years because we have to accomodate a minimum $100 a patient to keep their standard of living...all because their equipment is "sooo expensive" and they are troubled with "malpractice insurance" which only accounts for 1% of our countries medical spending. hah

Did you hear Joe Wilson? He lies.
11 :
He actually DEMANDS increasing the deficit by TRILLIONS. His claim to the contrary is EASILY proved a lie: OBAMA said it is.
12 :
Well, by his lie not to increase the deficit, he is seeking to confuse the public. He spoke of "savings" in the future. Spending future money before it exists is "deficit spending", well that is what the Dems called it when G W Bush did it with their approval. Insurance is sharing risk --- if you forbid a company from not accepting a sure lose --- you are then force companies to go out of business. Many people pay about $2800/year for home insurance --- if the government forbid insurance companies from not covering cases of arson, why would anyone buy it at all. Pay for the insurance, then set fire to the house --- new house.

Because the Republicans have given him enough crap already for the the 700billion dollar stimulus check he put in place. The money will most likely slowly be paid off through taxes in the net 100years or so. ------------- See your political standing at http://www.bestpoliticalquiz.com
