With all due respect Senator, you don't know anything about how economics work!  

Unfortunately the Healthcare Takeover that you Democrats propose is about jobs!  You Democrats want to throw even more American jobs into the sewer as you Democrats have been doing for the past 50 years!  

You Democrats want to turn every American into dependents of Democrat Government helpless to manage their own affairs with no chance at a life filled with the freedoms granted by our Constitution, those being; Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.  Shame on you and your Democrat cohorts in the Senate, House and White House!  

When you and your friends are done the United States Of America will be but a fond memory to those who knew her best.  Gone will be that "Shining City On A Hill" that Great Patriots of the past remember well.  

The following will work and will save all AMERICANS lot's of money!  Do this instead!  

Health Care Takeover!
President Obama along with Democrats in Congress, the Senate, Governors Mansions, and State legislatures all across the country want to entrust our healthcare to Washington bureaucrats.  After full implementation their plan will cost at least 1/2 Trillion a year in taxes paid by working Americans or what is left of working Americans ($6752 a year for a family of 4 plus their direct of insurance after the plan commences).  
After some study and careful thought I found the following savings that would make health insurance and health care much more affordable for the American public.  
Congress and President Obama, do this instead:  
Eliminate the fraud in Medicare and save +- $80 Billion in healthcare costs.  
Eliminate the fraud in Medicaid and save +- $100 Billion in healthcare costs.  
Send the illegal immigrants home and save +-$11 Billion in healthcare costs.  
Get illegal drugs out of the U.S. and save +- $40 Billion in healthcare costs.    
Limit medical malpractice lawsuits and save +- $92 Billion in healthcare costs.  
Doing so could save Americans +- $323 Billion each year.  
This savings equals +- $1077 for each American (man, woman, child) each year.  
A Family of 4 could save +- $4,308 each year in health care cost.
In addition to these savings each American taxpayer would save an additional amount in tax savings as a result of the savings incurred from the savings to each Medicare/Medicaid recipient.  
The above savings do not take into account savings to insurance companies if they were allowed to sell health insurance freely across state lines.  
Hospitals could also post that hospitals "cost for procedures" on the internet, those prices could be used by patients "shopping" for that procedure.
These are savings I can believe in without having to depend on Democrats for our healthcare.  
There are other things that Federal, State and local legislators could do that would save Americans big money on our health care without these Democrats destroying the world's best health care system!  
Why are these Democrats trying to make us more dependent on them?  
Ladies and gentlemen, we don't need or want Washington taking care of us!  We need Washington to get out of our way!
