health care "reform"

The latest word on the health care reform to be pushed by the Obamacrats is that it will leave about 38 million uninsured in the country. This compares to the 44 million who are currently uninsured. Yet, it will upend the entire healthcare system and cost over a trillion dollars over ten years. If we were to give each of 8 million uninsured people $200 per person per month in health stamps (which could only be used to purchase health insurance), the total cost would be less than one-quarter of the total cost of the proposed package.

Most people could get some sort of health insurance for $200 per month. Even if it were to cost $400 per person per month for insurance, the total cost would still be less than half of the Obama plan. In other words, the plan is nuts. It needs to be stopped.
