New York Times . . . New York Times . . .
Help me out here; what was the New York Times?
and this horrible bill would cover 10-12 million of them. Intertesting, isn;t that how many illegal aliens we have?? some coincidence?
Ever notice how when the New York Times tells it’s vilest lies, does it’s most reprehensible hatchet jobs, It’s either unattributed, or signed “the Editorial Board’?
18,000 deaths a year among adults because of lack of insurance.
Funny how the NYT doesn’t seem to care about 1,000,000 deaths a year among different demo who also happen to lack insurance, but that’s not the cause of their deaths.
How many adults die every year because of drunk driving, something that wasn’t hurt any by Obama’s beer summit promoting alcohol as a solution to problems. If a GOP President had a beer summit he’d be raked over the coals.
What’s next, is Obama going to invite follks down to DC to smoke Ganja and pass the peace pipe while they groove on Bob Marley?
It seems to me the GOP needs to emphasize reducing the costs for those who already have insurance. Way more people have insurance and are upset at the cost than don’t have it, especially among voters. If the GOP focuses on lowering costs for those who do have insurance and Obama and the dems focus on giving everyone insurance, the GOP will win tha tdebate 100% of the time.
The purpose of health insurance is to protect your wealth.
If you have no wealth?
You probably do not need health insurance.
EVREYONE has health care!
If you figure that 18,000 die a year due to lack of insurance, that makes 180,000 in 10 years. If that trillion dollars is a ten year figure (I have no idea and the article doesn’t say), then basically the Times is advocating spending $5.5 million dollars per life, if I’ve done the math right.
Consider— if someone went to court with a wrongful death lawsuit, would any court award that amount? For most people, I very much doubt it.
A trillion dollars is a LOT of money. People can’t put it in perspective.
The New Yawk Times. Doing the job the Commie ‘RATS don’t want to do.
Another one of those "myths", "rumors" and "phony claims" about why we need ObamaCare.
that’s why we need
1) tort reform
2) same tax treatment for individual insurance as for employer based insurance
3) ability to purchase insurance across state lines
4) perhaps a bigger charitable tax credit for those who help pay for insurance for the uninsured
