Health Care Reform

Okay, someone help me out here. Please!

Obama says that health care is going to double in the next few years but, if gov't takes over it won't? What? Haven't we learned that government ALWAYS increases the amount of spending on programs, any program?

I lived in Baltimore for a year...I have a point, bare with me...I hate that tunnel the city has but, if you are on the south side of the city and you want to go north, you almost need to take the tunnel otherwise, you have to travel out of your way to get there. So, the toll is $4! Four fricken dollars to be scared out of your mind to go through this tunnel!

My aunt Mary was telling me that when they first put the tunnel in, the government said, "We are going to have a toll, but it's just temporary. In a few years there will be no toll." The original toll was 50 cents.

Well, it's 2009 and there's still a toll and it's increased to four dollars! Hello? Like we didn't see that coming?

So, Obama tells us tonight that 2/3 of the health care reform will be paid for with money that is already coming into the government. Okay, fine, what money is this? Where is that coming from and where is it going now? We know there's no "lock box" for this money since Al Gore didn't win, so where is it currently going? Then, he says the final 1/3 will not be taxed upon the middle class. He doesn't know exactly where it's coming from, just that the middle class won't pay.

Has this guy never taken an economics course? Does he think he's going to tax the wealthy? The wealthy just pass the cost on to the middle class! This is economics 101 people.

Uh...I'm getting a headache just thinking about this.
