The biggest problem with that number is that about 12 million are illegal aliens, ,and shouldn't be here in the first place. There are about 12 million who are eligible for medicare/medicaid but have not bothered to do the necessary paperwork, and then there's about 8-10 million are are sufficiently wealthy that they do not need nor want healthcare. If Warren Buffet needs surgery, he can afford it without insurance, yet under Obamas plan he would be FORCED to buy anyway.
Even if the claim of 50 million is accurate, under Obamacare there would STILL be 30 million uninsured.
So we are spending 2.6 trillion to insure less than half of the people who are uninsured.
It is truly amazing that the left can't see how pitiful this plan really is.
The "problem" that is SO important to Obama is really an imaginary one.
