What would I whine about? Too many old people in need of a doctor? By the time I am old many of the baby boomers will be gone and we will level back out.

So you are counting on not having an accident, not getting sick between now and then. I don't know you're age but that is along time without needing healthcare.

But lets go with you're argument. You mentioned you're son is on your healthcare until he is 26, (of course instead of having his own job with his own insurance) and that it was something Obama did that was positive. If you don't plan on getting sick or having an "accident" then why do you or your son need insurance at all? So Obama is forcing something on you that you will not need?

And here you have it. Someone who is totally out of reality. Will use even the most ridiculous argument to defend his lord and savior Barack Obama.

Oh correction, it's higher. US Initial Claims for Unemployment Insurance:385.00K for Wk of Mar 30 2013
US Initial Claims for Unemployment Insurance

UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE WEEKLY CLAIMS REPORT
In the week ending March 30, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 385,000, an increase of 28,000 from the previous week's unrevised figure of 357,000. The 4-week moving average was 354,250, an increase of 11,250 from the previous week's unrevised average of 343,000.
ETA Press Release: Unemployment Insurance Weekly Claims Report
Actually correction is that it is lower, your first post claimed we have 350,000,000 unemployed and I wondered where that number came from. I would of thought it was an accident, but you added the commas so you must of known the number you were writing.

Well gosh. Doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me. I mean, what do these right wingers think Obama's death panels are for?

Your argument is that more people with healthcare means more people will go to the doctor ?

i dont have a problem with that. Do you ?

Oh I never plan on having an accident or getting sick, but that is what insurance is for. But the reality it, being a healthy male, I don't need to go to the doctor as much as an aging baby boomer needs to.

Also, the Obama is the President, not some fictional being like Jesus.

The problem is pretty simple:

"Currently, the cost of training a new resident is about $145,000 a year, and Medicare currently funds more than 75% of doctor residencies. However, the number of students accepted into federally funded residency programs has been capped at 85,000 for the past 15 years. In addition, federal Medicare payments have been cut by the federal health care reform law and many states face deficits that prevent them from contributing training funds, according to AAMC Chief Policy Officer Atul Grover. The restriction on federal funding for residency programs also impacts medical schools. According to the National Resident Matching Program, the number of residency applicants exceeds the number of available positions, preventing medical schools from expanding."

Yes, it would have to be one or the other.
