“Because *sob* –insert emotional argument here–.

Compassion…ramble,ramble,ramble. “Free” universal healthcare is a right, and this woman here —-point to Obama shill planted in audience—-needs X.

Have you no empathy? Is your heart so cold that you will not live in poverty so that —-insert name of Obama crony czar—-might be rich?”

In other words, they are talking about the net <u>gain</u> of insured people, which is 16-17 million. They arrive at that figure by taking the 39 million who will be covered under the plan, minus the 23 million who will lose their private care. It is a loss in the amount of uninsured.

An addition of 39 million combined with a loss of 16-17 million is a net gain. I know I am being picky, sorry. I am an accountant so I can't help myself!! I will quit now since I don't want Obamacare whether it is a gain or loss. According to the CBO, this is a loss of 16 - 17 million, but there numbers show a gain of that amount.

Everybody will be uninsured unless they take the government deal. It has happened EVERYWHERE this nonsense has been forced on the people, and that is precisely their plan. They've SAID as much. "Pfft. What's another trillion bucks? We better start watching those printing and copying costs, though, because pretty soon, you're talking about real money."

Guess we're not supposed to care. And why isn't anybody asking the question why any American citizen should have to pay for someone else's healthcare? I am having enough trouble paying my own damn bills. What ever happened to the $787B, anyway? Guess we’re not supposed to care.

And ABC-DNC will be giving several million dollars of free advertising to Dr. Utopia to sell this thing. Do we not have someone with knowledge of FCC and FEC laws that could make enough a stink to shut this down? and by tax cut, I mean tax increase, and by 95% I mean 99% (the 1% don’t pay taxes because they are in training for Democrat appointments.).

Whatever is estimated is underestimated, intentionally or otherwise, who cares? We had estimates for Medicare and Medicaid also as I recall. The Dems know exactly what they are doing, simply put they want the population of the USA to be de facto employee's of the government, low level employees, a definitely lower tier from today's overpaid, job secured lard assed wastes. Obedient employees at that, sort of like sheep. Bill Ayers must love it. to take it seriously is to evidence the remnants of a faith in government.

If there is an increase of 39 million and a combined decrease of 23 million (15 + 8). Doesn't that equal a net increase of 16 million? Am I missing something here? Either way I think it is a horrible plan, but I just don't agree on the mathematics.
