I dislike the current wording in the health care section: 'He claimed that "The cost of health care now causes a bankruptcy in America every thirty seconds", an argument conservatives dispute because people who are very sick lose their jobs and income which in turn causes the bankruptcy.' What the reference says is that there were 1.1 million bankruptcies in 2008 and 2 per minute is 1.05 million and it isn't plausible that >95% are caused by health care costs. Obama's false claim doesn't have anything to do with political viewpoint.

::You only count business hours--the bankruptcy courts are only open 40 hours a week. That gives about 250,000 cases a year. [[User:RJJensen|RJJensen]] 19:14, 9 March 2009 (EDT)
