And now the nonpartisan. Congressional Budget Office says that the democratic backed plan is going to increase the cost for most taxpayers. Not save the money."
" We do not see the sort of fundamental changes. That would be necessary to reduce the trajectory of federal health spending by sniffing -- amount. And on the contrary. The legislation significantly. Expands. The federal responsibility. For health care costs. "
" With us now is Elizabeth carpenter she's the associate director political director of the New America Foundation which is -- left leaning think tank now. The he also said it was an unsustainable. Level of government spending government growth and he was projecting out not just today that -- of the future. How does this square with all of these promises that it's gonna. Bring down the cost of healthcare and this is gonna -- brand new utopian vision of nationalized. Madison we have this and new invigorated system doesn't -- up."
" Well that's a good conversation out and I'm glad you asked the question because I think. You know the president has been clear health care reform is going to be paid for."
" On top on the backs of people like me maybe -- I -- pay for it it doesn't the numbers do not add up the Congressional Budget Office is not the burning now."
" We should all all recognize here is that congress is trying to legislate. And this is part of the legislative process and part of the legislative process is to get feedback from people like congratulate."
" Back I think they want you want -- I -- trying to ram this thing through on accurate leveling that. They are trying to ram this -- through without the public knowing what's in a thousand page monstrosity. Of a bill no good comes from a thousand. And I don't let as the younger that and frankly as a result of the Congressional Budget Office testimony is some moderate and moderate Democrats. -- moderate Republican every hour and that's well no I think they're out there every act CD. Today. To what we know we can do we know that 30% of health care spending in this country does not at clinical value does not make peace is healthier I want bureaucrats decide -- I don't know don't. Yeah and to have more information about ended -- about their care -- we have President Obama a couple of days ago is talking about health care in the United States.

" Let's listen. The most important thing we can do on animal like -- right now is to make sure the -- empowering everybody to make decisions for themselves about. How. They wanna deal with the end of life. And to encourage people to to look at hospices as a legitimate option. For for doing these issues."
" I finally had to be creeping for the press of the United States to be saying basically we hope more people -- you all people get sick you know that you. We encourage you to look at hospices that's not it that's only the only thing the house bill. Actually compels seniors to submit to a counseling session every five years on issues such as alternatives. To treatment. And also issues such as nutrition that they might be taking antibiotics. And artificially administered nutrition and hydration. Is that not have less frightening thing to do that all people can be visited their homes and essentially be told are right sweetie you've had a good life."
" I think the thing that we're talking about here it's giving patients more information because of it -- the data showed that many patients. In America. Don't get the care they want at the end of life because they don't know other options out there I -- not us yeah to have that conversation with our doctor. So I think."
" The government goes into someone's home I think an and and have -- eight consultants. Talk about end of life issue and there are down that I association doctors very embarrassing 'cause they supported whatever I can't -- iPhone and -- got out of America got -- I know a lot of doctors for excellent doctors have not spoken altered AMA.

Personal stay away from my father -- 83 years old I don't want any government bureaucrat telling him. What kind of treatment he should consider Amy I'm good -- and what we want is that reuniting them bothered have a conversation about what he wants and it has been giving you the Democrat party now you have got I have I have -- for -- your vanity is not the government's business the Democrat party has routinely said. Hands off our bodies that's all about choices pro choice -- don't touch our our bodies -- keep your hands up when it comes to abortion. When it comes to the elderly who paid into the system their entire lives. Basically the message from President Obama is. Okay we hope we hope we hope you consider -- letter not early and it has that information ultimately it's been well I think you're doing your daddy so you think this thing is flying you think this is gonna go through because. I -- American people back just about -- of the."
" marinara ayalon is brought to stop having his oratorical -- start solving the problem I've that you think this is gonna increase competition among private and I think right now many Americans have no choice of private concerns and what we wanna do is give the average American -- maybe that's why the numbers now on the what numbers.
