The Socialist Obama and the Socialist Congress want to dictate our medical care. If we allow them to do this, then toss all other rights we have into the trash can. Control over medical care is control over your life. Government interference in the free market (think Medicare and Medicaid) is the reason most of us pay huge premiums for medical insurance and care. The Socialists want to expand government control until we have no choice about our own bodies. Government is not the solution, as the more "advanced" socialist countries have discovered, Government is the problem.

Florida Medicaid has cut hospital payments by $251 million since last summer. In NY state, an Emergency Department physician who treats your life threatening heart attack or multiple trauma is paid $17.00 by Medicaid.

And the socialist Romney is right in the thick of it. ObamaCare = RomneyCare!! Socialism SUCKS!!

[Munz]

you of course realize that in the stimulus plan that they have covered the basic principle for all of this?
They made it a law that there will be cost vs. effectiveness in all health care measures from now on.

people on Social security MUST have their medical, it has to be their primary insurance by law, and they decide if your treatment is cost effective.
people who are discharged from a hospital now, have to jump through hoops if they are to be re-admitted for the same illness within a month because of it.

Obama is an evil person.

Obama’s not using the CBO anymore, so he couldn’t care less what they say.

What’s a trillion dollars to a Democrat buying votes. There is no cap to buying power. California proves that.

CBO Says Medicaid Expansion Would Cost $500 Billion...seems to me they just picked up $155 billion of that from US hospitals, who've pledged to accept that much in Medicaid and Medicare cuts over the next ten years - hailed as a big advance for the Obama team toward their national health care plan - but in fact if they can shift ten million or so patients who should already be on Medicaid on to the plan, the hospitals will save easily that many dollars in "free" care they now are required to provide for these duds who now would rather go to an emergency room and get immediate care than join Medicaid and have to wait in a doctor's office for treatment like the rest of us poor fools.....

Here’s a short piece based around a very straightforward Sowell economic analysis that lays out very clearly why this is doomed to failure.
