1. brucet have said obamacare would eventual save money. He does that by destroyer medicare:
"cuts in payments to doctors and hospitals under Medicare as provided in current law due to Obamacare and President Obama’s Medicare reimbursement policies is $15 trillion!"
"These Medicare cuts were the foundation for CBO finding that Obamacare would actually reduce the deficit, despite adopting or expanding three entitlement programs.

2. brucet says “vouchercare plan was to ever become law countless seniors would be priced out of the healthcare market”.
“Beginning in 2022, the Ryan plan offers each new Medicare enrollee a choice of private health plans and a premium paid to the plan they choose. The key is that the premium will be equivalent to what Medicare is projected to spend under the Obama health law: $15,000 a year on average, more for the oldest enrollees, less for the youngest, all inflation adjusted."
“The Ryan proposal also includes a $7,800 annual medical savings account to help low-income seniors with out-of-pocket costs. Amazingly, the CBO analysts exclude this $7,800 benefit from their calculations. Their warning about low-income seniors suffering is baseless."

“The Obama health law leaves that up to an unelected board of presidential appointees called the Independent Payment Advisory Board, a cost-cutting panel. The board is a radical departure from Medicare as we’ve known it. Congress cedes nearly all control of Medicare spending to the board on the rationale that budgeting decisions should be shielded from outraged seniors and political pressures. On April 13, the president reiterated that the board would decide what care is “unnecessary” for seniors. Even the CBO cautioned that as the nation’s debt crisis worsens, benefits will be put on the board’s chopping block."
“Will Americans now in their 40s and 50s choose to put their health care in the hands of this cost-cutting board, or pick their own health plan when they retire?”

brucet, think democrats will come up with 2011 budget before Oct 1, 2011; when 2012 budget is due. Wonder why the did not pass Oct. 1, 2010 when they owned Congress & the White House ? Were they thinking about Nov. 2, 2010 election ? Didn't do them much good not passing budget did it !!!

HUNKY-DORY ??? Even without this $$$ 15 trillion cut, some hospital are refusing medicare patients. Most hospitals and doctors are losing money. Most doctors limit number of medicare patients. Everything is HUNKY-DORY !!!
With $$$ 15 trillion in cuts obamacare will have it numbers improved. With care DROPPING.
TO FUTURE CONTROL COST:

Brad, great perception - theses GOP candidates are a reality TV show, and a bad one at that. Palin and Bachmann competing to be Snooki, TPaw and Mitt trying to be the Situation. The Donald has set the tone.
The GOP is taking the whole governance thing about as serious as a reality tv show, and we are the victims having to watch this crummy show play out even when we know its going to get canceled.

obamacare will in the long run reduce costs.
p.s. i like many of my friends have medicare with no problems,you and the republicans are fear mongering.

with possible exception of mitt romney and john huntsman the rest of these hopeful,s read like the cast of a B- grade movie.
the really interesting new entry into the race is from the keystone state.not to be out done by the lunacy of sarah and michele,the person,considered by many,to be the dumbest person to ever serve in the u.s. senate,rick santorum has decided to take the plunge.the first order of business for santorum,should he get elected,will be by executive order,to ban all forms of contraceptives and impose mandatory bible study on wednesday nights.
his answer for all those who lose their medicare to vouchercare will be "thou shall over come".

The Associated Press, a some level affiliate of the left wing, New York Times, sent eleven reporters to dig up dirt on Sarah's book, "Going Rogue" ....and found nothing discernable:
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/lachlan-markay/2009/11/15/eleven-ap-reporters-turn-little-palin-fact-check
Reminds me of my friend, Bobbie, who wrecked his Jeep on a nearby hillside recently. After reading about his mishap in the local paper, Bobbie turned to me and asked, "Is this MY accident?" Apparently, little in the printed article was true, with the exception of getting the date correct!
The lame-stream media seem to mimic old men sitting around the pickle barrel, vying for the title of "The best Story-teller"!
Today, my immediate tendency is to suspect any "reporter" and go right to the source if I can. Most often, I will find the real facts!
So ......GO, SARAH, GO!!!!

The inquisitive folks of this country are now taking a closer look and discovering she is, in fact, a terrific person, while viewing the "lamestream media" as they really are!
Sarah has a new movie being released this month. See it at a cinema near you with someone you love.

Moles, voles, & lamestream trolls cower under the gigantic shadow cast by glorious golden eagle Sarah Palin as she soars beneath the sun in the open azure skies of Alaska.
