Got another interesting email today. It listed some 'Obama Myths'.
Obama Myth #1: You can keep your doctor; you can keep your health care
plan.
The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has estimated that
nearly 6 million Americans currently covered by an employment-based
plan would not have coverage under the current reform proposals.
Obama Myth #2: The AARP supports ObamaCare.
In response to the President's claims, the AARP issued a statement
which asserted that "indications that we have endorsed any of the
major health care reform bills currently under consideration in
Congress are inaccurate." However, 60,000 AARP members have
discontinued their membership - so one might assume it is a business
decision for them.
Obama Myth #3: 46 million Americans are uninsured and uninsurable.
According to the Census Bureau, of the 46 million Americans who are
uninsured:
* ** 10.1 million are individuals who have income of $66,000 for a
family of four, but who elect to remain uninsured.
* ** 9.3 million are non-citizens who generally do not pay tax.
* ** 6.4 million who are enrolled in Medicaid or S-CHIP but reported
to the Census taker that they were not. (This phenomenon is known
among statisticians as the Medicaid undercount.)
* ** 4.3 million are eligible for Medicaid or S-CHIP but have not
enrolled.
* ** 5 million are childless adults, mainly healthy, young adults who
simply do not wish to pay for insurance.
That last one, especially, has been in the mill for quite a while now..
The major media never mentions it, of course.

So Obama is trying to fix what isn't broken. *LOL.

he thinks the health care system in this country ISN'T broken

res ipsa loquitur

It isn't broken. If you go to the emergency room you will get treated
fro your emergency condition.

If you have cold or the sniffles you can go to the drug store and buy
some over the counter medication.

and if you have cancer?

oh. i guess you die.
