I'm in favor of Healthcare for the 30 million that don't have it. But to change the health care of 300 million citizens for the sake of 30 million is stupid, unless of course your a Socialist.

And no, we can't afford Obamacare. Projections show healthcare costs
will increase 5.8% annually through 2022 which will be 1% faster annually
than our projected economic growth. The CBO upped projected costs again last week.

A special program for the 30 million without insurance, including Tort Reform and
allowing Interstate Insurance would be a way to go rather than upset the whole apple cart.

A 100% change for 30% defies common sense. With all the so called "Brilliance"
of this Administration,it should certainly be able come up with a better more affordable plan
for those who don't have healthcare.

How much has it been rising at present? Same, more, less?

How is it we spend so much more per capita than other developed natoons?

Last # I saw was 49 mil from Atnea, 2011 number....

#1 The projection of the 5.8% included 2011 to 2022.

#2 We spend more per capita because of the advanced diagnostic and treatment
regimens we have, many used to protect the physician from law suites when
lesser cost tests etc. would be enough . Thus the need for Tort reform.

#3 Atnea just dropped out of NJ because of Obamacare so evidently they are
concerned about rising costs and less profits.

In edumacation we are 12th and spend SEVEN TIMES the next highest spending country, talk about success.....

Don't worry once we get healthcare costs down all the innovations that the manufactures fund with their profits can come from maybe Canada or Hati? Next question, why do doctors from Canada come to the US to train???
