WASHINGTON (July 8, 2009)--Vice President Joe Biden announced a White House deal Wednesday with hospitals to help pay for President Barack Obama's overhaul of health care.
Biden made the announcement Wednesday morning at the White House with hospital administrators and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
Biden said, "reform is coming."
Biden said the hospitals are ready to give up about $155 billion over 10 years in government payments.
The money could then be used to help pay for covering millions of uninsured.
Despite the deal, some Democrats are rebelling over taxing generous health insurance benefits to pay for any overhaul, jeopardizing bipartisan legislation in the Senate and Mr. Obama's ambitious timetable.

This is the first step to the total socialization of the USA. If you think our health care system is bad now, just wait until Obama has his way and socializes it! The hospitals will be saying, "We can't treat you because you are too old, or too fat, or too skinny, or too rich, or too healthy..." If you have an appendix attack, you will be placed on a waiting list for up to several months before you get treatment. Don't believe me??? Well, the other socialist medical systems are EXACTLY like that.
