[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 573506, member: 9859"] Conservatives refuse to accept responsibilities as the new Administration rescues this economy from a full-blown crisi. And health insurance reform is central to that effort. This is not just about the 47 million Americans who have no health insurance. Reform is about every American who has ever feared that they may lose their coverage if they become too sick, or lose their job, or change their job. It’s about every small business that has been forced to lay off employees or cut back on their coverage because it became too expensive. And it’s about the fact that the biggest driving force behind our federal deficit is the [B]skyrocketing cost[/B] of Medicare and Medicaid. If we do not control these costs, we will not be able to control our deficit. If we do not reform health care, your premiums and out-of-pocket costs will continue to skyrocket. If we don’t act, 14,000 Americans will continue to lose their health insurance every single day. These are the consequences of inaction. These are the stakes of the debate we’re having right now. No matter what BS you here from the Right, Health insurance reform will not add to our deficit over the next decade. In the past eight years, Republicans enacted two tax cuts, primarily for the wealthiest Americans, and a Medicare prescription program, none of which were paid for. That’s partly for the $1.3 trillion deficit. That will not happen with health insurance reform. It will be paid for. Already, it's estimated that two-thirds of the cost of reform can be paid for by reallocating money that is simply being wasted in federal health care programs. This includes over one hundred billion dollars of unwarranted subsidies that go to insurance companies as part of Medicare [/QUOTE]
