Letter to the Editor
Obama lied about cost of health care

To The Daily: Obamacare will cost nearly three times as much as the Democrats predicted. Obama promised his new takeover of health care would cost $940 billion when former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and company passed it in Congress. The actual cost has gone up with each revision.

It was a lie to the American people. The last Congressional Budget Office estimate says Obamacare will cost $2.6 trillion — nearly three times as much as Democrats presented to us. Affordable care? Ouch!

Of course he lied his mouth moved.

look Obama knows what is best for us - he is smarter than us. Get over it!

Obamie ain,t smarter than my dog , he is destroying this country one stupid thing at a time

Tommy tell the whole story quit misleading your fellow republicans???

Bubba says don't mislead

It like every other government program if you are for it go to your local health department and sit in the waiting room a hour and If your still for it fine. That is what going to the doctor will be like. All it's going to do is instead of people saying I know this guy who can change your motor out in your car. people will be saying I know this doctor who live here that will see you.

I AM MIDDLE ROAD IN POLITICS AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT MY SELF AND 3 OTHERS WHO ALL HAVE DIFFERENT DOCTORS HAVE ASKED THE DOCTORS OPINIONS ON OBAMA CARE AND THEY ALL SAID"" IF ITS PASSED AS IS I WILL GIVE UP MY PRACTICE AND FIND ANOTHER PROFESSION OR I WILL RETIRE.. BASICALLY THIS LAW REQUIRES ALL PROVIDERS TO BE PAID AT THE SAME RATE. I FEEL MOST OF YOU WITH ANY SENSE WILL AGREE THAT A BRAIN SURGEON SHOULD BE PAID A LITTLE MORE THAN FAMILY DR. RESULTS A LARGE REDUCTION IN DRS AND YOU ME AND WE SUFFER THE RESULTS. NEXT IN ANOTHER LAW ONCE THIS ADMINISTRATION GETS A STRONGER HOLD===WHO KNOWS MAYBE THEY WILL REQUIRE AUTO DEALERS ELECTRICIANS ETC EVERYONE TO PROVIDE THEIR SERVICE AT THE SAME PRICE--OR MAYBE THEY WILL DEMAND YOU BUY A GMC PRODUCT WHICH THEY DETERMINE HOW IT WILL BE BUILT OR YOU MUST PAY A PENALTY FOR ANOTHER TYPE VEHICLE.---THINK ABOUT IT IN NOV.

William, your logic is as solid as sand running through an hour glass.

Bubba is amazed

IM JUST PROUD THAT YOU CAN READ BUBBA. OF COURSE COMPREHENDING AND SEEING THE BIG PICTURE IS ANOTHER STORY

My health insurance has been increased from 328.00 monthly to 597.00 monthly in the past 18 months due to the anticipated health care changes. I pay every dime of my coverage and it is single person coverage through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama individual Care. We cannot keep paying for every illegal and non insurable in this country. We, the working people of America are being and have been bled dry.

Just quit working and paying Steve. You can get health insurance, food stamps, housing and even a cell phone for the cost of your vote.

William from Somerville...In your letter you said the Doctors you talked to said they would quit or retire from medicine..

what makes you think that Obama will not impose a law that will MAKE them practice or go to jail..A VERY REAL TRUTH.
