The U.S. will go broke unless medical care is taken away from the government. Free enterprise is the answer. More competition, not more government, will give us plenty of choices, high quality and lower cost.

Obama's real goal is to have universal government health care, which means artificial price controls, fewer doctors and hospitals, long waits for treatment resulting in unnecessary deaths, lower quality, and lack of freedom to decide what treatment is best. Obama and his Socialist Congress want to dictate to us the medical care we are "allowed". We will be told that it's illegal to pick our own doctor or hospital, even if we can pay for it. This deprives me of my right to life and liberty.

Where in the Constitution is the president or the Congress empowered to dictate my medical care?

Contrary to Obama's "spin", with which he claims that failure to have more government control will bankrupt the U.S., government control is The Problem.

He also declared once again that he does not favor socialized medicine and cautioned people to beware of "scare tactics and fear-mongering" by critics who make this claim.

I truly wonder if this guy is psycho. He speaks out of both sides of his mouth so easily.

This country is already broke, on a major scale, thanks to Obama. So somehow, socialized medicine is going to undo our massive Obama debt????

This guy cannot open his mouth without lying.

I used to think that Obama was stupid. Now I think he is really, really stupid. He governs like he’s a newcomer to politics. Oh, yeah, that’s right. He is. I’m sure, by the way, that his porkulus bill had nothing to do with America’s economically deranged position.

US could go broke if Obama’s spending isn’t capped.

U.S. could go broke is Allah’s Teleprompter is not impeached and illegal immigrants are not sent home.

Just how many of these “we have to act now, without thinking, and follow me blindly RIGHT NOW or else we are doomed” proclamations are we going to hear before folks wake up?

News to Stupid Suit, Thanks to your ego and clueless ideas we are already broke.

What a jackas*. This is what happens when he opens his mouth and talks instead of reading the words from his crutch.
I seem to remember the headlines saying the other day that America has run out of money. I guess the stupid suit loses track of all his lies.

Not to worry.

If it looks like we're going to go broke, all The One has to do is spend some more money.

He has an antisocial personality disorder. This is a psychological condition most easily identified by near-pathological lying, deceit, manipulation, delusion, and in some cases paranoia.

Confounding one’s opponents is a major tactic for winning.
Throwing their own prime conclusions against them, regardless of correctness/applicability, goes a long way to this end by leaving it to them to explain, to a disinterested populace, what the difference and truth is.

Accusation: nationalized health care will bankrupt the US.
Rather than rhetorically taking that correct accusation on, just throw it back at the opponents.
Retort: lack of nationalized health care will bankrupt the US.
Most voters won’t understand the difference, and the bully pulpit tends to win such arguments over the disaffected minority.
