Health Care Reform = 900 Billion Dollars ?

The New York Times: Reports that the Senate version of the Health Care Reform Bill will cost 900 billion dollars. One word, rubbish, and the one area you can guarantee that costs will go up is health, its just a given, costs go up from the production of new drugs, better drugs for older conditions, the costs of Doctors and Nurses. The NHS costs billions, if a politicians tells you it will just cost 900 billion throw them in the stacks, it is not the truth. If your economy is going great then it is a great idea to make sure you have universal health care, but when you in a recession and your adding taxes then expect the worse. The one thing that is good from this health care bill is that the Democrats will lose Congress in 2010 and Obama will not be re-elected in 2012.

A Deal on Health Care Reform ?

CNN News: Reports that a deal has been reached by the Blue Dog Democrats and the Liberal Congressional Leadership over a Health Care Reform Bill, the one catch there will be no vote in till after the recess. This could be a get of jail card for the Blue Dog Democrats, they agree to deal, then go home, get a ear full from their voters and return with more demands. Lets see, a week is along time in politics.

DOES A BLUE DOG BITE ?

Fox News: Reports that the Blue Dog Democrats are standing firm over the Obama Health Care Reform package, they want a more conservative package to reform health care, they don't want small business to take a financial hit, also they want to keep a private sector as an option. If a Government creates a programme that has unlimited funding from the tax payer this will force out the private sector, or create a sector that only the rich have access to over the long term. As with the UK the NHS looks after you up to a point, there are limits, there is a rationing, there has to be, more new drugs are created, people live longer, thus its follows a cycle. What I have heard of the Obama health care reform package if your old then your will not get the drugs that can keep you going, they will go to the young. Thus if you live in Florida you can forget getting your medical drugs that keep you going past a 100. The Obama policy seems to think that if your old you should just fall of your perch so the Government does not have to look after you, thus the need for the private sector. As to protect small business, you either want them to insure their workers or hire new workers, its one or the other, so if your old, conservative, or want a job, oppose the Obama Heath Care Reform.
