awww, the Dear leader thinks you all use way too much health care. so what did he do about it? . stick you with a fascist pos called Obamanocare, that FINES you if you don't buy it and all of that goes back into the Governments pockets. what a gig eh? We were supposed to be Protected from an Overbearing Federal Government but according to the Master Obama, he believes it should control all our lives.

(CNSNews.com) - "The real problem that we have when it comes to debt is very simple," President Obama told the nation's governors on Monday. "It is that our population's getting older, and we use a lot of health care.
"And health care -- we spend more for less, frankly, than most other advanced nations, partly because we do a lot of emergency room care. Some of it is because we, you know, overprescribe, we over-test. Some of it is we drive innovation and technology, and people always want the best stuff, but that costs money.
"Some of it is because -- the accident of how our health care system evolved means that we got private-sector involvement, and they've got to make a profit, and they've got overhead, and so forth. So there are a whole bunch of reasons, but essentially, we spend about 6 to 8 percent more than our wealthy nation counterparts, per capita, on health care. That delta -- that difference -- is our debt."
Obama told the National Governors Association that concerns about the debt are why he pushed for transformation of the health care system.
"It was not just the compassion I felt for people personally being impacted (some compassion Putting a fine on you. he makes me sick)-- getting sick and losing their home, or not being able to get care for their kids, or having to go to the emergency room because of -- of routine issues that should have been dealt with by a primary care physician.
"It also had to do with the fact that this system is hugely inefficient, and if we don't make it more efficient, then we're not going to solve our debt problem."
