"The president said that the costs of Medicare and Medicaid are on an "unsustainable" trajectory and if there is no action taken to bring them down, "the federal government will go bankrupt.""

But if we reatly expand the government run systems, and include everyone in the risk pool, things will get better? Yep, I believe that. See also the Post Office for ean example.....

Why should we think that a greatly expanded goverenment version of medicare will save even one thin dime????

If they can't even make medicare work, why should we believe that a greater plan encompassing everyone will do any better?

I realize that the thought of a government run health care plan makes big government liberals lose continence...The thought of having control of another 1/6th of the economy makes them salivate (so both ends become moist).

Really, they should give up. They couldn't force things through in the early days of the year, and now that "we the public" has seen the plans a bit more closely, we don't like anything that is contained therin.

and let us not forget the damage they are doing to the economy with the uncertanity that this looming bill brings to business planning....they shoud simply adjourn, and stop the debate and give up.

But the lapdogs of the DNC hve not the best interests of the people of the US uppermost in their hearts, but rather the advance of their ideology at any cost.

Sad, that we elect these people to represent us.

The American people get the government we deserve....
