 trust me health care is revenue neutral government efficiency isn t that an oxymoron the progressive democrats in washington want us to believe the new healthcare plan will be revenue neutral and would save us money in the long term i don t know if our democratic politicians have all become so deluded they actually believe the drivel they spew out or if they have decided they can just blatantly lie to us rahm emanual and nancy pelosi would have us believe the new health care bill will save us 130000000000 dollars if history is any indication of what government can do to run any program in a fiscally responsible way then i think we need to view their rosy projections with a serious dose of skepticism medicare is a perfect example of projections versus reality after medicare was enacted in 1965 it was projected that by 1990 it would have an annual cost of approximately 9 billion dollars isn t it surprising then that the final figures from the congressional budget office cbo showed the actual cost for 1990 was 67 billion dollars that isn t too far off only 5800000000000 or just 7 times the original projected cost grossly inaccurate projections related to the cost of federal programs are almost always the rule rather than the exception when it comes to federal programs president obama and his health care proponents are quick to tout massachusetts as an example of how government health care can work however they don t tell you that its projected cost of 472 million for 2008 ended up with a final price tag of 628 million you also need to remember that senator tom harken from iowa stated what we are buying here is a modest home not a mansion what we are getting here is a starter home but we can build additions as we go along in the future it is a starter home think about it in that way the democrats have only built the foundation of their health care program do you honestly believe this boondoggle will be revenue neutral let alone produce a savings it isn t too late to stop this insanity vote for the people who believe in the foundational truths this country was build upon vote for the people who believe the federal government was formed to protect us from tyranny not enslave us under it submitted for publication to the dewitt bath review clinton county news the st johns dewitt informer the owosso independent the laingsburg independent the perry independent on april 28 2010 publication pending
