Reform

"Rather than reducing costs, the healthcare plan appears to shift costs to employers and higher-income households." - Economists John Silvia and Mark Vitner of Wells Fargo Securities

"The most obvious quantifiable impact of the bill is an increase in taxes for upper income Americans, particularly on investment income. [the law] will expand demand [for healthcare] without much effort to rein in costs." - David Kelly, an economist and chief market strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds

Yes, It's That Bad

If the actions of the Democrat leaders of Congress are such that they are criticized by Chris Matthews, then it's really bad.





"The president's health plan won't solve a problem. It will be the start of bitter fights over funding and policy that will consume the nation for decades to come." - Wall Street Journal


This is where Obamacare is. Everyone knows it won’t work. As liberal Sen. Dick Durbin just admitted, “Anyone who would stand before you and say well, if you pass health care reform next year’s health care premiums are going down, I don’t think is telling the truth.” - Boston Herald


"We are on the verge of an overheated political meltdown over health care that will result in either a partisan, controversial law that polarizes Washington for years or nothing passing, which would spook Congress into another decade of inactivity." - Atlanta Journal Constitution


While the President's push toward the health care bill commands our government's focus, other issues continue to rise.
