Susan Ferrechio: “Democratic leaders face a series of inconvenient questions”. Ferrechio has 12 questions.
Susan Ferrechio’s 12 questions [and she has some thoughts on these]:
” 1. Who would foot the bill for extending health insurance to 30 million more Americans?”
“2. Would doctors and hospitals be able to cope with the expected influx of millions of new patients?”
“3. Wouldn’t illegal immigrants still get care, often for free, in hospitals?”
“4. Who would enforce the requirement that individuals have coverage?”
“5. Will employers stop providing health care coverage if a public plan is available?”
“6. How can spending less on Mdicare produce better care for participants?”
“7. What other programs would need to be cut if Obama’s promised savings don’t materialize?”
“8. Similar plans have failed in several states. How would a federal plan avoid the same fate?”
“9. Can the president make good on his promise not to ‘add one dime’ to the national debt?”
“10. The president says that he can save $500 billion in waste and fraud in Medicare. Has the government ever succeeded in such an ambitious cutting effort?”
