Health Care Reform or Retaxing

The Healthcare Reform has made it through the financial committee. Now Congress will huddle "behind closed doors" to write the bill they hope to send to the floor. According to Senator Mitch McConnell (R, Ky), "this will result in another half trillion dollar hit for seniors on Medicare and higher taxes, along with higher insurance premiums." He predicts that this bill will never reach the Senate floor. Let's hope he is right.
Obama is out there praising the lone Republican, Olympia Snow, for voting for it. However, she has already stated that she will not vote for a public option, which is what Pelosi and company want.
There is still time to write your Congressmen and women and let them know your displeasure about this program. Remember, for those of you who have heathcare, you will be paying more. This is no reform! 87% of the cost of this plan will be shouldered by the middle class. There will be a cost of around $4,000 per household per year to pay for it. This plan has a clause that states insurance coverage charges will be based on age. The older you are the more costly the insurance. If the new bill goes through, with the public option, yes, the uninsured will get coverage and we will be paying for it. And those young people who have no insurance, will be forced to get it or pay a hefty $2,000 fine per year.
The ridiculous thing is, those who go to the hospital now and have no coverage, cannot be turned away. They are getting healthcare. So what's the difference? Hidden beneath all this talk about healthcare coverage is the real plan: to institute the socialistic principles of this administration and "spread the wealth." Once the government takes over the management of healthcare in this country, private insurance will be a thing of the past. And the economy will take an even bigger hit as the jobless rate climbs yet again. This is the scenario the government wants: the people at the mercy of the government. And there will be no more choice. The goverment will own its citizens lock,stock, and barrel.
They will tell us what we can eat, what we can earn, and they will start to dismantle our Constitution. Plans are already afoot to do just that.
So fight back while you still can. Hold on tightly to your rights with both fists and don't let go. We're about to be in the fight of our lives to retain the freedom that we hold dear. ~ One Voice
