A Red-Ink Train Wreck: The Real Fiscal Cost of Government-Run Healthcare

[spboike]

Too bad it isn't what they sold US on. It was suppose to be Good & Ethical and allow Cost savings.

[tbwil11]

@deficithawker Ahh but you overlook the fact that Medicare’s Chief Actuary felt compelled to release a detailed statement appended to the Trustees Report calling the assumptions “implausible” and “unreasonable” and went on to warn that the estimates of savings from Obamacare are not credible.Its time to shift the paradigm from gov to personal responsibility,private sector solutions coupled with gov incentives to get folks personally investing in their future via health savings accts, 401k, etc.

What about all the trees being cut to print the papers for legislation, medical form, and of course money? So much for an environment protector, Obama.

A Quinnipiac poll found that only 19 percent of voters believed Obamas pledge that health reform wouldnt boost the deficit in the next 10 years.

[daig1sun]

My biggest worry is not even that government will ruin health care, but rather, that health care issues will ruin government. Health care is such a big, emotionally freighted activity that if the government tries to run it, health care issues will soon becomes its major concern. People will start voting for politicians based on their willingness to open the rationing of care a bit and will stop focusing on matters of interstate commerce, foreign policy and defense.

Everyone in our government is like a spoiled teenager with a credit card. The ONLY thing they do well, is SPEND/WASTE OUR MONEY!

This is all about taxes and eugenics it's that simple.

[Silveracity]

Leftist politicians and right wing politicians work collectively to herd the masses into two separate camps to fight against each other for the benefit of the politicians and to the detriment to the masses.

[TruthTube88]

Leftists are intellectually bankrupt, and morally bankrupt. But no one should be surprised that their plans will bankrupt the federal revenues further. They're aiming for control over an increasingly-dependent populous.

[jamaljk85]

Compare Obama's case for "reform", and this guy's case against it and it should be clear which one a sane, rational person should pick.

[BloodiCheeseCake]

Obama is going to be like Lyndon Johnson and before him, like Franklin Roosevelt. This won't bode well for us.

[WhereDidItAllGo7]

Obama please watch this!!!....5:55

I don't mean to rain on your parade, Dan, but wouldn't this video be viewed by even more people if you did it through the Cato Institute and had it posted on THEIR youtube page rather than your own?

[MooseOfReason]

whoo689, It isn't a Cato video. It's a Center for Freedom and Prosperity video.

[whoo689]

I know that. What I'm saying is Dan here should coordinate with Cato to do these videos, maybe ask them to let him put his videos on their youtube channel as well. I mean, Dan Mitchell is a fellow at the Cato Institute as well as Ctr. for Freedom and Prosperity, is he not? Combining their efforts into one would make them much stronger.

[fortsmith1]

I agree. What we needs is jobs.

[donotswallow]

These are easily the best videos on youtube. Keep it up.

[Ackbar60]

well they are not as good as Conan The Kitty videos but they are very good.
