MrLiberty, they have it all worked out. The eldery on Medicare pay half by losing a lot of bennies and paying more for the little left. So this actually creates new and the most in need to become the new uninsured...
The other half is paid by those making enough by the standards Obama has set. Just a thought I just got, I wonder if the president is included in that group?

Not a bad idea but just a wish........... Can we say those on medicare, which was a loser from day one! It was set up to never pay for itself, and at the time it could handle the numbers using it, by taking funds from other places. Like S/S. Which with the baby boomers about to come running for help very soon. Will cause it to cave in. And show the representatives for what they are, crooks. Because once a full acounting is done, guess whom it will expose? And what social programs that are useless because of a complete lack of money. Yea the third rail, S/S.........
Again a great idea

so I would require that Congress give up all their perks and pensions, both past and present. Then they have to be the first ones to sign up for this. That would go a long way in showing the people that they are
sincere.
