obama demands vote on health care..

[sham]

Where can one go to get the straight facts about ObamaCare? Every news outlet has a bias and will spin the tale to their preference. I still don't know what healthcare reform will cost, or if it will explode the deficit, or if Medicare patients will suffer reduced care, or if care will be rationed, or if my insurance premiums will rise and by how much, or how much will my taxes go up, along with many other questions. Do YOU know the answers? Healthcare reform will be a major change to our country if it becomes law. How can anyone risk supporting a major reform with so many unanswered questions?

Here is an interesting wrinkle. Anyone over the age of 60 will likely pay higher premiums and higher taxes for ObamaCare with NO chance of ever receiving a benefit because they will be Social Security age when the benefit phase goes into effect. Remember that the benefit phase will begin four years after tax collection begins in some kind of perverted accounting scheme to make the program look like it is generating a surplus.

There is also this bogus sounding claim that cutting $500B from Medicare and using that money to fund a new entitlement program will somehow 'shore-up' Social Security. Only a complete idiot would buy that claim. In fact, anyone over 60 would have to be a fool to support the current healthcare overhaul legislation.

i don't know. fact check dot org usually will give you the truth, but they don't seem much interested from what i've seen in getting into the nitty gritty of it all. they have some articles about parts of the bill, but nothing that tackles the whole thing.
