Given that our current unfunded liabilities of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid amount to nearly $60 Trillion dollars, has anyone performed a financial analysis on either Obama's or Clinton's Healthcare plans?
Can we afford what they are proposing? This is an honest question. And please do not bring up Bush's military spending. I am against that. I just want to know if we can really afford universal health-care coverage.
And also, don't you think you should be responsible for your own life and not ask other people to pay for your needs?

For those questioning what OP says, the GAO's Comptroller General has already spelled out that we can't pay what we have already promised for future obligations.

God! No national 'free' or 'partly free' or 'affordable but not free with goverment help' health care.
Health care is not a right.
