Obama Proposes $634 Billion Fund For Health Care

We had to destroy the economy in order to save it.

I see the Post is selling Obama’s plan for him.

Important note to not forget.

H.R. 676 Sec 101(a) “All individuals residing in the United States (including any territory of the United States) are covered under the USNHC Program entitling them to a universal, best quality standard of care.”

Yes that means illegal aliens are covered.

We had to destroy the ~~economy~~ country in order to save it.

There, fixed it for you.

Healthcare is increasing at a rate of 8-10%. Without reining in costs, anything the govt will do will only make the problem worse.

The only way to rebuild:

Oh God, please help us! Seriously, I mean it! PLEASE!!

Illegal aliens and other tourists do not "reside" in the United States, which is the whole point of being a "visitor".

Laws to hand out free dope to everybody are looking kinda good now.

The List, ping

President Obama's 5th Week in office

President Obama is proposing to begin a vast expansion of the U.S. health-care system by creating a $634 billion reserve fund over the next decade, launching an overhaul that most experts project will ultimately cost at least $1 trillion.

*Obama will propose a massive business tax on greenhouse gases in his FY 2010 federal budget to be presented this week.
The massive tax increase and power grab was buried at the end on article on Obama's forthcoming budget proposal in The New York Times:

*Obama's administration attended four full days of negotiation at the "Durbin II" conference. During that time his people sat and passively watched the following: the failure to adopt a proposal to act against Holocaust denial, a new proposal to single out Israel, which will now be included in the draft without brackets, broad objections to anything having to do with sexual orientation, vigorous refusal by many states to back down on references to "Islamophobia" (the general allegation of a racist Western plot to discriminate against all Muslims), and numerous attacks on free speech.

*In response to the backlash against the bailout for failing home owners, triggered in part by Rick Santelli on CNN's rant on the floor of the Chicago stock exchange, Housing Secretary Shaun Donovan responded publicly; "the Obama administration's efforts to help struggling homeowners will aid "responsible" borrowers, not deadbeats or speculators."

However, a stalemate between President Bush and congressional Democrats forced the sides to punt the rest of the spending provisions until now.

*The Obama administration has directed defense officials to sign a pledge stating they will not share 2010 budget data with individuals outside the federal government.

* President Obama will forecast the biggest U.S. deficit since World War Two in a budget on Thursday (2/26/2009) that urges a costly overhaul of the healthcare system and would spend billions to arrest the economy's freefall.

That is equal to 12.3 percent of U.S. gross domestic product -- the largest share since 1945 when the country ran a shortfall of 21.5 percent of GDP

Holy shit.

Time to start flying our flag with the union down. I think.

begin a vast expansion of the U.S. health-care system by creating a $634 billion reserve fund over the next decade

Millions of illegal aliens choking off our hospitals and medical facilities would eat that up in 3 months.

God is in control and He is working His final plans. Those plans are not so great, however, for those who don’t put their trust in Him.

“If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it’s free.” — P.J. O’Rourke

where did this quote come from, a book or article?

One swift kick and the whole rotten edifice will come tumbling down.

Sometimes I think that we were locked in a dance with the old Soviet Union after WWII, and when they collapsed, and we were left without a partner to dance with, it was inevitable that our day would come too... The fact that it’s taken 22 years is only remarkable in that it’s taken this long.

I just hope we don’t have our own Stalin on our hands.

A $634 billion reserve fund? I am sure that will be as secure as the Social Security Trust Fund, or the Highway Fund.....

Apparently it came from a speech O'Rourke gave at the Cato Institute in 1993, titled "The Conservative Manifesto." -link
