Obama care doesnt provide Insurance for anybody, it gives you a tax credit if you buy and you qualify or it forces you to pay an additional tax for not buying. Medicare expansion, a big part of Obamacare, is direct insurance from the government. I think that contradicts your statement. I'm not sure what you're getting at with your replies. More words please. Cheers, Scott.

So its not quite the same as.

Bush's "health care" proposal was smoke and mirrors and magic asterisks to throw big tax deductions at favored people. The WaPo piece shows that it would have done very little to actually insure people. Yes, Obamacare has changes to the tax code. And horror of horrors, it actually pays for itself by collecting some taxes and reducing some overpayments. The point remains, though, that Bush's proposal wasn't comprehensive and didn't cover as many people as anything that claims to be a quasi-universal health insurance scheme would do. HTH. Cheers, Scott.
