THE FREEDOM POST ^ | 11/16/2009 | The Capitalist

This news should not come as shocking news to anyone with half a brain or an ounce of commonsense, but a new government report, from the president's own administration no less, says that ObamaCare will increase costs of health care even faster than if we did nothing

Obamacare assumes you can have a small group in the US Congress decide each year what medical care costs should be, and then just work it out with a computer to give each and every potential patient an allocation of services.

The current system has over 200,000,000 individuals doing that same evaluation.

Seriously, there's no way a handful of Congresscritters can equal the brainpower of 200 million people.

I have been posting links in other threads to this today. It is something my father has written. He was a health care actuary for many years and an expert on health care financing. (He was testifying before Congress about this stuff back in the late 60's).

Here he proposes some real solutions you probably won't see anywhere else but involve every American to make them work.

Can CIC affect US Health Care Reform?

And he wants amnesty for 12 million+ illegals so that they can legally be included under Obamacare.

Has anyone done the math on the actual cost of this health care bill per UNINSURED person?

I've tried to figure this out but my eyes cross after all the zeros following "10.2".
