1. If the major provisions of the health care bills will not kick in until 2013, four years from now, why the rush to pass a thousand-page bill before the August recess, a bill you admit that you havent fully read yourself?
2. You have said your health care bill will cut costs and not increase the deficit. But, independent analysis by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office contradicts both claims, saying it will raise costs and increase the deficit by $240 billion in the first ten years. What independent analysis will you provide that supports your claims and refutes CBOs?
3. You have repeatedly said that your health care bill allows any American who likes their current employer-based plan to keep it. But the most comprehensive independent analysis available, by the Lewin Group, contradicts your claim and found your bill will force over 80 million Americans to lose their current coverage. Will you provide independent analysis to refute this study?
4. Your own record in the Senate reveals you spent years voting against nearly every reform to make health care more affordable and accessible, but this week you said that opponents of your plan are content to perpetuate the status quo, [and] are, in fact, fighting reform on behalf of powerful special interests. Which specific elected officials will you cite that have proposed to keep the status quo, and is that how you characterize the opposition of the 52 Blue Dog Democrats in the House and the moderate Democrats in the Senate?
5. Yes or no question: Will you guarantee pro-life Americans that, under your plan, they will not be forced to subsidize elective abortions?
I would like to ask Obama the following question, on national TV, during the press conference. Here is my question:
Q: Mr. President. Shouldn't there be an amendment in your health care bill that requires all elected government employees, including yourself, to immediately be enrolled into the health care bill that is passed by Congress and it be illegal to obtain your medical care in any other means that is not stipulated in this bill or by any means that is not specifically outlined by this bill?

People are not going to be forced to take on this health care policy so I'm not sure why you want to force others to do so. Especially when you speak out against making citizens take on this health care plan. Hypocrite.
Perhaps you don't understand.
If the health care plan is good enough for an inner city child, why isn't it good enough for Mr Obama? What makes him or any congressman any better, or more worthy of some other health care plan?

It's not about being worthy, it's about freedom of choice based on what you can afford really. Why not stop there? Why not force the rich? Why not force everybody to get the same plan than? It's a snarky smart alec of a question but the place it leads to is one that the person asking it is against.
I do realize it was a smartass question in the first place. But you're not getting the irony in the person asking it.
Edit: Obama just basically answered the question you wanted to know.
It's about choice, then why I do I not have a choice, why am I being forced to pay for somebody that can't afford it? Where the hell is my choice?
The more I have to pay for somebody else, the less choice I have to spend for myself.

What the devil are you talking about? You're not being forced to pay for anyone. Unless you're talking about taxes, which in that case you believe we shouldn't pay in taxes in general. Go ahead, don't pay taxes. However, don't use the roads, don't call the cops if you need help, or the fire department if your house is burning down.
Sorry champ, that was a lousy diversion.

I have followed many of your responses to various post here on the board. You beat the same old liberal sheep following drum that all the rest do. You want so badly for your government to give you something for nothing that you are willing to accept a bucket full of shit just to say you have it. I feel sorry for you.

It wasn't a diversion in general. Please, do show me a bill that has been passed in which YOUR taxes will be increased giving you less of a choice for health care. If you want to talk about things that you believe are going to happen, that's one thing. However, acting like they have happened is a different story. I'm willing to bet a great amount that the current bill being made will be very different from the final bill. The final bill will be a shallow, useless, watered down version of what actually needs to be done. However, it's all in the name of protecting those insurance companies bottom lines.
And, apparently, you kept it down too!!I watched the entire dog and pony show while I ate my supper.
