General - Obama report card - View Post

The thing I is sad really, is no matter what a president does, it's either good or bad for some demographic. Obama was elected based on the votes of the poor and the young.

The people he has done the least for, is the poor and the young.

In the case of healthcare, currently the old pay 6 times the amount that the young do. To help cover pre existing conditions, the current bill being voted on expects the young to get health insurance (most don't have it by choice), and then are at the same time trying to raise the cost of coverage for the young to be half of what old people pay (without lowering the cost to old people).

So the people who really lose with this health care bill are the people who put him in office to begin with.
