Passing Obama plan would be a disaster

I think passing the Obama Health Care Plan would be a disaster for this country.

First off, it would cost three or four times the estimated amount. Why do I think this? Well, from experience, with other government programs.

Medicare equals broke; Social Security equals broke.

Need I say more?

He is telling us that the cost of health care would go down under his plan. I think that it would be the opposite.

The public option would only drive the private plans out of existence, leaving us with whatever the government wants to dole out.

If their plan is so good, why aren’t Congress, the President, etc., covered by it?

We all know the answer to that — it stinks.
