>OK, but how many $300K Michelle salaries do you need to eliminate to take care of the Medicare deficit? I cannot understand why intelligent people are so determined to do the worst thing about that.

No single thing will erase that deficit, but it's also true that if you keep piling on corrupt practices, it won't go away.

If I were a healthy 18 year old forced to buy insurance that I didn't need so that Michelle and hundreds like her can have $300K no- show jobs funded with the money that I had to kick in, I'd be a little skeptical about Obamacare.
Wouldn't you?
