The Health Care debate

This administration continues to lie about the numbers of Americans who are uninsured in trying to make their case. Of the 47 million Americans that Obama stated had no self insurance he has overstated the amount by over 10 million according to the Census Bureau report "Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2007." The report was issued in August 2008 and contains the most up-to-date official data on the number of uninsured in the U.S. He stated they were all Amercians well in actuality out of the 45.65 million uninsured 9.73 million are foreigners. There was also 9.1 million making over $75,000 per year who choose to not purchase health insurance. So now we are under 27 million uninsured Americans.

Why don't we take some of the 787 billion in stimulus money that has not been spent yet since it is obvioulsy not working the way the great teleprompter reading genius stated it would and put it into a pool so that the government can provide health insurance to these 27 million uninsured who presumably cannot afford to purchase it. Wouldn't this be better than having the corrupt US government try to take control of every American's health care, especially given that the vast majority of Americans are happy with what they now have? How much can it cost to insure 27 million people? It must be less that 1% of the amount of the first stimulus bill that was rammed through.
