When would be the right time to raise taxes? There is no evidence that not raising them will help jobs. In fact, someone has a link to a study showing that it wouldn't. But not taxing will add to the debt. So, logically, based on this, what should we do? How much do we really care about the deficit?
Now is the right time to cut spending. Ditching Obama Care would be a great start. It's a redundent program.
"Uninsured" does NOT mean can't get health care. The HRSA on-line finder has a low cost/no cost Federally funded Health clinics.
Federally-funded health centers care for you, even if you have no health insurance. You pay what you can afford, based on your income. Health centers provide
1. checkups when you're well
2. treatment when you're sick
3. complete care when you're pregnant
4. immunizations and checkups for your children
5. dental care and prescription drugs for your family
6. mental health and substance abuse care if you need it
Health centers are in most cities and many rural areas. Type in your address and click the 'Find Health Centers' button to find health centers near you.

There are many State and County programs you can find on line as well.
Now when you take away all the people with access to these Health Care programs, how many actually have no access.
The clinics aren't as convenient, you may have to wait in line. But, Health Care is out there for those without insurance. I am currently with out health insurance and use my counties health care system for only $10 more than my old insurance co-pay with health net of $25.
If we're going to get a handle on the deficit, spending must be cut. Dumping every one of Obama's advisory panels and Czars along with their staffs would help as well.
