Heh-heh. "More on health care." "Moron health care." I crack myself up.
I was just listening to the fact that the White House claims that the single payer communist health system they want to install will cost $1 trillion over ten years. Something bothered me about that, so I grabbed a calculator.
In the 2000 census, there were about 450 million Americans total. Let's assume that that number will become 500 million in 2010. Now, the big selling point is that everybody will be covered by the government plan, no exceptions. That means that $1 trillion (12 zeroes) divided by 500 million (6 extra zeroes) is, um, $2000 per person.
Barack Obama says that every man, woman and child in the United States will receive all necessary medical services, including any necessary major surgery, for $200 per Year.
Friends, delivering my oldest child, which occurred with no complications, cost over $5000, including the insurance company's payment. How is the President planning to make that entire process cost less than dinner and a movie? Something is not right here, and my daughter has not smelled like that since before she was two!
Moron health care, indeed. For some reason, I'm not laughing any more.
