Questions I Never Asked Obama

American Spectator ^ | July 24, 2009 | Robert M. Goldberg

Here is a list of questions that reporters wanted to ask President Obama about health care reform at Wednesday night's press conference but were afraid to ask:

1. Why are American taxpayers subsidizing premiums of millions of union members and healthy Americans who already have health insurance at a cost of about $6,000 per person?

2. Why should American taxpayers pay for the health insurance of millions of young single Americans making over $80,000 year who are offered health insurance at work or can afford it but don't get it?

3. Why should American taxpayers pay for the health insurances of millions of illegal immigrants? Shouldn't there be a better way to provide people who are here illegally basic care?

4. Why are American taxpayers paying $10 billion for the health care costs of retirees of big corporations?

5. You talk about using health care reform to control the deficit. But if we targeted help to people who need it most, wouldn't that help?

6. You talk about two-thirds of the money to pay for people who already have health insurance or don't have it even though they can afford it or are eligible or aren't entitled to it (see questions 1-4) or subsidizing a new program (question 5) coming from eliminating "waste in the system" by having a government panel of experts decide what services and treatments are best. Won't that increase waiting times for services and access to new treatments?

How true and love the cartoon.

Another question?

Why are the American people forced to endure fakes who masquerade as journalists of the MSM and POTUS?

Here's one;

"Mr. President, if you're going to pay 2/3 of the cost of national health care by eliminating waste and fraud, could you, as an act of good faith, first get the waste and fraud out of Medicare, Medicaid and VA Health services which the government already control?"

"Could you? Please?"

"Why not"

but were afraid to ask:

Why were they afraid to ask those questions? The possible answers are chilling enough.

1) WHY WILL YOU NOT SHOW A COPY OF YOUR CERTIFIED LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE TO AMERICANS? WHY WILL YOU NOT MAKE PUBLIC ALL OF YOUR SCHOOL RECORDS AND RELATED INFORMATION? WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO HIDE FROM THE ELECTORATE MISTER PRESIDENT???

What happened to the cartoon. I saw it this morning, but when I got to work, it was gone.

Here’s another:

You say there will be a mandatory payment of $2500 (is that per person or per family). If an illegal alien just refuses to pay, how will you collect that fee? Will he still have complete access to the universal care?

[freekitty]

Really. I saw it too.

[John Valentine]

Illegal aliens are not required to make this payment. (It’s in there)
