.......And when he says 15 million qualify for an existing plan, he is talking about government plans which would implode if everyone who qualified for them signed up. And I dont know how you just assume 10 million could afford it but dont want to pay for it. He is also out of touch with reality if he thinks $70,000 a year is enough to live off and afford health care coverage for a family of 4.
This is stupid. Start with far less than 10%, somewhere between 2 and 5 million, there is a big difference between 2 and 5 million. But if you go with 5 million (about 11%) and you do his math he is missing 11% or 5 million people, 8 million if you go with 2 million. Illegals are MAYBE 20% of the uninsured (and no proposed plan would even cover them).....
I had a good job and insurance when i got really sick. Doctors said i was a head case fed me happy pills. I continued to deteriorate until i couldn't work any more, lost insurance. Used my wifes insurance, fed me more happy pills, got sicker, wife's hours cut, lost that insurance too. Got in at VA, almost died! Right off found a Pheochromocytoma, should have died. Now have Parkinson's 2. Can't get insurance anywhere, been turned down for all assistance. If it wasn't for VA i would be dead now.
Gov huckabee, this is a good video but we have to address the fact that some who are in the gap can't afford insurance. Granted there are those who choose not to pay for insurance, but there's a lot more just above the poverty line that cannot. Then a medical incident happens and they are up to their eyeballs in med bills.
Point out that free market solutions will bring choice and affordability to all.
Point out corp health tax credit should be given to individuals, which promote portability
Underinsured is more of a problem than just being uninsured...

Common sense approach. What a thought. It is just too smart to consider.

The man is right. Don't think for a minute that obama cares about your health. All the government really wants is full control of our lives.
