In Zeev's Honor, Plan the Trade and Trade the Plan

In that opening statement it clearly states that healthcare costs could go up because people getting insurance could be treated for heart disease, diabetes, and cancer which had gone undiagnosed for years.

That's like owning a car for 10 years and having your mechanic tell you that you have not been taking care of it, so its going to need an oil change, filters, and you might even have to replace a few parts that you have neglected to take care of.

Got to thank Goodman and Norbeck for that article, if there was ever a reason to finally get a hold of Healthcare in America for all Americans, this country will applaud The Affordable Health Care Act in the years and decade going forward.

Then this article goes on to remind everyone about the cost of Medicare in 1966 was $ 3 Billion.

The Department of Defense spends this much.

When you do comparisons with how much we have spenton Defense, its nice to see our tax dollars actually being used here in America helping out own citizens getting early treatments for things like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Investing monies in your own country so that your citizens can be healthier and more productive will be better in the long term, as opposedto not treating these diseases.

Its called Preventive Medical Care, and these idiots are against it cause it might actually cost money.
