A new Treasury Department study reports that most Americans don't have health insurance at some point in a 10-year span.
The raging debate over healthcare continued Saturday with the two major political antagonists trumpeting their arguments for and against changes in policy that could impact every American.
That would be President Obama and — no, not Congressman Joe “You Lie!” Wilson — conservative broadcast dynamo Glenn Beck.
On his Saturday morning radio and YouTube broadcast, Obama spoke of “an anxiety that’s keeping more and more Americans awake at night.”
“Over the last twelve months, nearly six million more Americans lost their health coverage — that’s 17,000 men and women every single day. We’re not just talking about Americans in poverty, either — we’re talking about middle-class Americans. In other words, it can happen to anyone … I refuse to allow that future to happen. In the United States of America, no one should have to worry that they’ll go without health insurance — not for one year, not for one month, not for one day. And once I sign my health reform plan into law — they won’t.”
Then the President boarded Air Force One for a quick trip to Minneapolis for a rally on health insurance reform.
Meanwhile, back in Washington Beck was broadcasting live on the Fox News Channel as part of something he’s dubbed “The 9-12 Project.” The occasion was a “tea party” march and rally organized by “FreedomWorks” to protest the “irresponsible government takeover of our nation’s healthcare, devastating new energy taxes, and trillions of dollars in red ink.”
Some 450 tour buses were expected to bring protesters from around the country. FreedomWorks spokesman Adam Brandon predicted that

Ain’t gonna work. Barry doesn’t have the audience Beck has.
Actually, we owe thanks to ‘Rick Santelli’ over at CNBC for starting the Tea-Party business.
The anxiety that is keeping Americans awake at night is maobama.
I thought he brought the economy back from the brink? Did something happen since his big speecification on Wednesday? </sarc>
Your health, your responsibility.
The Obama Presidency is what is keeping us up at night.
” Over the last twelve months, nearly six million more Americans lost their health coverage “
That’s because they lost their jobs - stop worrying about healthcare and start creating jobs.

Did Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck or Santelli speak at this tea-party. I thought it was going to go up into the evening hours. It is already breaking up and FOX certainly isn’t reporting that 2 mill. were there. What’s with the news coverage? Doesn’t match the pictures I am seeing on this forum?
Is it a coincidence that nearly 6 million people lost their jobs in the last 12 months as well? Obama needs to stop mixing economic issues(that he's making worst) with health insurance. Just more more lies from Obama.
To be honest, I have not turned on any coverage because I know how it will be portrayed. I’m watching football, and racing. We will get the facts later, and the ‘New Media’ will disseminate the truth.
A Treasury Department study?!!!! Oh sure, we can all trust the treasury for accuracy!
Obama is prone to exaggeration...and lies.
The anxiety that's keeping most up is named Hussein.

Did I miss something...even if Obama signs his health care plan tomorrow, it's not going to start until 2013?
Mr. Obama, YOU'R A LIAR!

Why should the government force anyone to get health insurance?
