The national Healthcare plan proposed by Senator Max Baucus will supposedly cost $83 billion per year. According to our peace award winning President there are 47 million uninsured people (15% of the population) in the United States. This plan would provide insurance to 22 million (7% percent of population) of these people while leaving 25 million (8%) without insurance. Our President wants to totally revamp the world’s best healthcare system for 7% of our population. Why? Only 50% of Americans pay income taxes. This means 157 million taxpayers will each have to pay $546 per year to insure 22 million. Senator Baucus stated the only way national healthcare will work is with shared responsibility. What has happened to the American ideal of Individual rights coupled with Individual responsibilities?
