Presently, even with all the problems of the uninsured walking into emergency rooms America provides health services to everyone within its borders. The cost of how we do it now is roughly 1.3 trillion dollars. The cost of Obamacare is conservatively estimated at tipping 4 trillion dollars... to cover the exact same number of people.
Obama's pride has been injured greatly throughout this year. He has failed at nearly everything possible in office, except exporting our tax dollars to pay for abortions overseas--that he did swiftly.
His Olympic, Nobel, and Global Warming endeavors have verged on the utterly ridiculous, and the man's pride is hurt.
If he does not accomplish Health Care he will have gone one full year without any significant accomplishment. Gitmo is still open, soldiers are still in Iraq, more are headed to Afghanistan.
His pledge to produce a healed economy and a better jobs picture is equally laughable in that he's made both worse. For 49 out of 50 states have LOST jobs since the stimulus was passed.
In Copenhagen this week, he lashed out at China, and got made fun of by the only new allies he's made in office. Fidel Castro, one of his heroes, called him "ignorant," and Hugo Chavez said he still smelled of Satanic sulfur.
Now, when poll after poll across America demonstrate that two-thirds of the American people are solidly against Obamacare, (and who knows if the final third even know anything about it or else that number could easily be higher), the President is ready to jam it down American's throats.
So delicate Mr. President... nice job.
Threatening his friends, shutting out his opponents, and getting laughed at on the world stage (for the third time in his first year), has to take a toll on a real man eventually.
Unfortunately when someone from Chicago's south side gets that emotionally backed up it usually ends with flying bullets and someone's brother lying dead in a pool of their own blood.
Let's hope for our own sake that President Obama remembers that he works for us, his brothers and sister. And that in the end we do not want him to be his "brother's keeper."
Context people, it changes the meaning of everything!
