ABC's Karen Travers reports from Washington:
President Obama told ABC News Charles Gibson in an interview that if Congress does not pass health care legislation that will bring down costs, the federal government will go bankrupt.
The president laid out a dire scenario of what will happen if his health care reform effort fails. If we don't pass it, here's the guarantee
.your premiums will go up, your employers are going to load up more costs on you, he said. Potentially they're going to drop your coverage, because they just can't afford an increase of 25 percent, 30 percent in terms of the costs of providing health care to employees each and every year.

Isn’t this the same guy that said unemployment won’t go over 8 percent if we passed his stimulus plan?

No, it will go bankrupt when 20 million illegals get free healthcare and citizenship. Let’s call this bill what it really is: “The Back Door to Amnesty Through Free Health Care” bill.

The govt will go bankrupt with or without healthcare reform as long as the marxist-in-chief is running things.
