The budget deficit grows and grows; the uninsured grows and grows. Although I don't know the details of Obama-care, I can put two and two together, and the addition of more insureds requires looking at the regulation of medical costs and the payment of benefits. The costs got to go up and with a stack of laws that resists reading by the legislators is disturbing as buying a pig in a poke.
I never did hear or see a cost/benefits analysis of the stimulus plan detailing goals (economic stimulus vs. safety net services and money spent vs. jobs produced (new, temporary etc).
Maybe they will do it this time on the health care proposal. Heck, I just hope 'they' read the legislation first.
Programs that offer something for nothing rarely do. There is a cost and a benefit. Please hit us with your best shot, not just hit us.
