I have been saying this since the package...
I will be following up with this in the weeks to come. I just need to get all my research straight.

Obama's '47 Million Uninsured' Claim Is False
newsmax.com story:
President Barack Obama claimed during his Wednesday night press conference that there are 47 million Americans without health insurance.
A simple check with the U.S. Census Bureau would have told him otherwise.
Obama said: "This is not just about the 47 million Americans who have no health insurance."
That assertion conflicts with data in 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.
The report discloses that there were 45.65 million people in the U.S. who did not have health insurance in 2007.
However, it also reveals that there were 9.73 million foreigners — foreign-born non-citizens who were in the country in 2007 — included in that number. So the number of uninsured Americans was actually 35.92 million.
And of those, "there were also 9.1 million people making more than $75,000 per year who did not choose to purchase health insurance," CNSNews stated in a report based on the Census Bureau data.
That brings the number of Americans who lack health insurance presumably for financial reasons down less than 27 million.
The Census Bureau report also shows that the number of people without insurance actually went down in 2007 compared to the previous year — from 47 million to 45.65 million — while the number with insurance rose from 249.8 million to 253.4 million.
The next Census Bureau report disclosing health insurance data, with 2008 numbers, is scheduled to be released in August, and could figure in the healthcare reform debate.

A Voice from the Past
I believe he was the most prominent President in the last 100 years. His ideas should never die or be covered up by a new administrator. We need someone to emerge as a new Reagan so that OUR voices will not die out.

Round and Round We Go.....
I will have more video on Obamas Health Care press conference tomorrow. But from what I saw tonight this hurts Obama's plan. He circumvented all the questions given to him tonight. I find it funny that he is now saying it will be passed in the coming month, not by the recess. What I find awesome about this press conference is that it hurts his plan for government domination of our personal decisions.If the democrates lose the "blue dog dems" we can chalk up a victory for the right.
One other beef I have with Obama is he said that he is not blaming the republicans for not passing this bill. Just earlier this week he was blaming us for not helping pass this bill. He should not blame just the republican but the American people. They do not want the tax hike that will come with this. As Joe "bigmouth" Biden said, "to get out of bankruptcy we must spend more money".
My hope is people are wising up to this crap of a plan.Wake Up.
