New Healthcare Bill

Nancy Pelosi is all aglow. Her heathcare bill is finished and ready for a vote. The bill was handed out today, all 1990 pages of it. As a sea of Democrats distance their support from their party, and Republicans get ready to debate the plan, Harry Reid is insisting he has the votes to pass it. While others deny that this will happen.
The time to keep the pressure on our representatives is now. Once the vote happens, it's too late. As the propaganda machine builds its message on a recovering economy that is nothing but more lies fashioned by the current administration, the plan is to take the focus off of the bill that Obama and company are planning to push through. As more jobs are lost, it's hard to believe that propaganda.
Reid is certain he will get the measure passed, by hook or by crook, with a reconciliation attempt that will allow Congress to pass or vote no on the first go round and then return to pass the bill later. More underhanded tactics by Congress to allow government interference into our lives.
All the current plan will do is cause private insurance to escalate through the roof and force the people to go on the government plan thereby sending private insurance companies rates through the roof. As the people forego the private options and choose the cheaper government plan, they will force private insurance companies into bankruptcy.
According to minority leader John Boehner, the bill is "1990 pages of pure burearocracy."
It's interesting, isn't it, that the bill will not come to the floor until after the Tuesday, Nov. 3rd elections. If everything was on the up and up, would that be necessary? Congress is running scared and I'm not just talking about the Democrats. Both parties are quaking in their boots these days because they know full well that the American people are fed up with their underhanded shenanigans.
If you haven't done so, write, fax, email or snail mail your leaders on the hill and tell them to vote no, no, no!
Why should senior citizens be penalized with having their medicare benefits cut to pieces and be limited in their healthcare coverage? There may not be so called "death panels" to face, but when you can't afford the care, you are condemned to an early end when you have to choose between food or medicine. This is wrong, America, so very wrong. Stand up and do the right thing while there is still time.~ One Voice
