Lawmakers Scramble to Find Ways to Finance Obama Health Care Overhaul
Fox ^ | 6/15/09 | Staff

Posted on 06/15/2009 10:07:13 AM PDT by pissant

With the clock ticking on health care reform legislation, President Obama has guaranteed American taxpayers that his administration will pay for any overhaul without adding to the deficit.

Lawmakers, however, don't have quite as firm a handle on how they'll actually accomplish it.

Though Obama has outlined nearly $950 billion in savings and revenue to offset the cost of a program tagged at about $1 trillion over the next decade, some fear the actual price tag could be much higher and question whether Obama's estimates about a coming windfall in government savings are accurate.

Just one Un-Constitutional power grab after another and the democra/socialists in Congress love it.

And the Republican? Has just one Senator said barry hussein`s ideas are Un-Constitutional?

Here`s the socialist democrats yelling at any cuts to medicade/care:

Americans will not pay higher taxes for Obamacare. Period. King O says public option or no deal.

Rush just said King O is speaking for 60 minutes on this issue. YAWN.

He knows this bill is losing steam. He's desperate.

it's laughable - can anyone in the United States of America be stupid enough to believe that?

No matter what the problem,real or imagined,the liberal solution is always the same. Throw money at it. Where does the money come from?

This is from the link #9 posted (thanks btw ;-)

Boehner Statement on President’s Speech to American Medical Association
Real medical liability reform must establish tough standards to reform the medical liability system, encourage the speedy resolution of claims, and deter junk lawsuits. If President Obama is serious about reducing the skyrocketing cost of health care, he’ll press his own party to include real medical liability reform as part of a reform package that puts patients and doctors in charge of their health care rather than putting government in charge.
Right now the Malpractice Insurance Co's run the medical system. ALL because of those junk lawsuits they have to pay or fight by bottom feeding trial lawyers.

I just saw my Dr and my BP was 117/82 (pretty darn good). BUT I have to go back and see him in 3 stinking Months for a "BP Follow Up". When he said that I was like WTF? I asked him why 3 months and he said ... "My Malpractice Insurance Co Says So."

Now this is utterly ridiculous. It used to be six months and now its 3. But at 3 months my insurance won't pay for this useless 'follow up' office visit.

Maybe I'll send that $185.00 bill to The Kenyan.
(yep, $185.00 for an office visit where the Nurse does the work and I get five minutes of the Dr's time)
