Analysis: Some Health Care Numbers Don't Tally

Math is complicating efforts by president to get approval for his top priority

WASHINGTON
- Some of President Barack Obama's health care numbers don't seem to add up. And that's complicating his efforts to pass his top domestic priority.

Obama could be falling into the same trap that snagged George W. Bush when he was pushing private accounts for Social Security as part of his "ownership society" in 2005. Bush's claims that the proposal would help shore up Social Security's long-term finances were hard to document mathematically and wound up feeding greater public skepticism.

Obama claims his health effort will not dig the nation deeper into debt and over time will help reduce deficits. He has vowed to not sign any health bill that raises deficits.

Obama lied again he will sign a Bill that raises the deficit. This healthcare Bull still does not address a major problem, it is called illegals. None of the bills addresses this problem and they still will get free medical at middle class expense. I say this because they all have the same name, fake SSI# and fake address. So how can you find them to bill them.
