A few question Mr. President

In honor of President Obama finally taking tough questions from Fox News Bret Baier, I thought I'd come up with some questions I'd like him to answer.

1a. Mr. President you have stated through yourself and your subordinates that you are not a socialist. How do you explain surrounding yourself with devote socialist and out right communists in your White House?

1b. A follow up question, if you didn't know they are socialist than would you please tell people not to call you "the smartest President we've ever had"?

2. Mr. President how do you explain that the same things you advocate(i.e. universal health care, government takeover of banks, businesses, etc) are the same things the Socialist Party of America wants? Is this just a coincidence? Here's a link to back up what I've just asked.

3. Mr. President why is there a provision for the federal government to take over financial aid in this health bill? Also once you get control of this does this mean you(or some Czar) decide what colleges get money? Will students going to religious schools be able to get financial aid, or will you say "separation of church and state"? Will all the financial aid go to students that take a major you like, i.e. environmental science, community planning, etc?

4. Mr. President as a former constitutional professor could you explain where in the constitution it allows the federal government to mandate the people must buy something? Also could you explain how the government can decide what is a right? Didn't our founding fathers feel that rights were given by God(or Creator) and enforced by government?

5. Finally Mr. President you said repeatedly on the campaign trail that you wanted to change Washington. Mr. President isn't arm twisting and bribing congressmen the same thing that's been in Washington since the boundary markers were laid in 1791? Or is this a new type of corruption brought from Chicago?

Special Report w/Bret Baier

Definition of insanity

Obama has been trying to get Americans to buy into his Obamacare. That only by forcing people to buy into his plan, we can have lower costs and less of a deficit. Yet he's never talked about how states have already tried this, and failed.

Massachusetts has had public health care since 2006 and it is a dismal failure. The National Academy of Science has five key areas for health care reform. The coverage should be: universal, not tied to a job, affordable for single and families, affordable for society, and provide high-quality care for everyone. Massachusetts has failed on every single one.

The people have figured out that its cheaper to just pay a fine instead of paying for health care. Yet if they get sick they can still go to the doctor and get free care, with the cost going back to the tax payers. Oh and if it turns out they have a serious medical condition(cancer, diabetes, etc) and decide to buy insurance, the insurance company can't deny them coverage. This, of course raises premiums for everyone.

Businesses too have figured out that its cheaper to pay fines then to pay for health care. As profit margins shrink, this is an expense that is easily cut.

Its not affordable for singles or families. The majority of families fall threw the cracks for state subsidies and can hardly afford skimpy coverage. An individual making around 30k will pay over 9k a year in co-pays and premiums for a "plain jane" plan.

The cost on the state has been..well I don't think an adjective has been thought up for it. In 2007 it cost the state 630 million, two years later it now costs 1.3 billion. Its projected to cost as much as $123 billion in 2020 increasing 8% faster than the states GDP.

Because of forcing people to get health care(whether privately or through the state) there are not enough doctors for the patients. One health center has a waiting list of over 1600 people. Not to mention primary care doctors are leaving the state or the job because of money. They make far less from insurance companies and Medicare than a specialist. New medical students are deciding to follow a specialist track instead of a primary care one. Primary doctors are only being paid for the first 15 minutes of treatment. Therefore the majority of people have to go to the ER, adding time and costs.

So how does Massachusetts solve these problems? They cut coverage to 30,000 legal(not Illegal) immigrants and raised taxes.

Massachusetts isn't the first state to try this. In the 90's Tennessee tried this same thing with TennCare. The result was exactly the same. 94% of the state had some sort of health care, and then when faced with bankruptcy kicked over 170,000 people off of TennCare.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. If that's the case D.C. must be one big insane asylum.
