What Obama is really thinking about health care reform.

by GCTMT Premium Member

Reading Barack Obama's mind on health care



Public Plan. Public Plan. It’s all anybody is talking about now. Look, truth be told, I’m a single-payer guy from way back. Government-run health care for all sounded pretty good to me, because let’s face it, I don’t trust the health insurance companies
to get it right. But if I said that now, they’d just call me a socialist – and the Republicans would love that. So I had to tone that down. Way down. Bottom line, if I can be convinced we can cut costs and cover more people without it, bring me a bill without a public plan, and I’ll sign it. But – and this is a big but — I just don't know if it's possible without a government-run competitor for private insurers.

Well... i wouldn't just say a socialist... I'd say a fascist socialist.

Who the heck is Zbigniew Brzezinski anyway...!?

Sorry not trying to hijack the thread... but WAKE UP PEOPLE. 13 trillion in 9 months?! have you ever seen what a trillion looks like?

ok bear with me...

look at the pics.

$10,000 ten thousand
$1,000,000 (100 x $10,000 packets) 1 million
$100,000,000 (fits on a standard pallet) 100 million
$1,000,000,000 (1 billion how many times have you heard that number??)
$1,000,000,000,000 (Now that's a trillion...please notice that the pallets are double stacked.)

someone more observant than me, pointed this out to me :. i bring it to you.


Back to your regularly scheduled programming.... what is it today? swine flu?? nah.... its Michael Jackson!

the news is only entertainment...
