They have forgotten what real reporting is like. Good question, Stephen. Answer: Because these guys are Obama lap dogs. They have forgotten what real reporting is like.

It should be the first question at every White House press briefing. Why does the media give Obama a pass on things like this. It should be the first question at every White House press briefing.

Goodman's comment in the article "Young People Could Bear Brunt of Insurance Mandate". The quote "If you charge people a fair price, then a 50-to-60 year old should pay about six times as much as a 20-year old, etc." First of all, I am a healthy 62-year old single working woman and I am not wealthy. I am being taxed for just about everything and taxes continue to rise. I have paid into the Medicare System for most of my adult life. four times longer than a 20-year old). Where are my benefits??? With this so-called health care plan, I am being sold down the river. Currently, my doctors will not take Medicare/and Medicare Co-pay insurance. If this healthcare plan goes through, it will cut the benefits to seniors even more and cause a greater number of people to be served by fewer and fewer doctors. I think you need to rethink your position. Most seniors are not wealthy -- they are on fixed incomes and whatever savings they have accumulated in the Stock market (like me)have been hit hugely within the last 5 years). I am tired of the government trying to take control of my income and health care. Fix the problems with the current system instead of creating something even more catastrophic.
