Health Care Reform Passed the House, It’s Up to the Senate Now

The health care reform bill passed the House late Saturday night (sneaky time when people wouldn’t be watching the news) in an extremely close vote, 220 to 215. I haven’t been able to post about it until now because I was too upset to even think clearly. This bill is the mother of all entitlements. It is the grand slam for liberals. If it becomes law, it will be nearly impossible to deconstruct just as Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security are today. It will grow the bureaucracy and the government past what is sustainable. This bill will not only lower our quality of care, cause insurance companies to go out of business, and give the government complete control of our health care, but it is simply unaffordable. Our government is already running on borrowed money! How much more can it borrow? We are racing towards high inflation because of Obama and the Democrat’s spending spree, but they continue to spend more! This bill does nothing to reduce the actual cost of health care and this means costs willstill continue to rise. That means more taxes and more deficits. Ugghh!
This bill is not about providing quality and affordable health care. If it was, they would have taken a different route. This is about power. If the government controls your ability to see a doctor and receive treatment or medication, they control your life. You know the old saying, ”If you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything”? Well, if this bill becomes law, we will no longer have control of our health… the government will! Our forefathers did not mutually pledge to each other their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to create a government that would provide everything for us and tax the rich to pay for it. They created a country where we would be free from government interference and would have the liberty and ability to rise or fall based on our own merits. America is supposed to be about personal liberty and individual responsibility, not this! My only hope is that the health care bill will be filibustered in the Senate. I urge everyone to call and email their Senators and keep the pressure on them. Our future depends on it.
I will be posting more in depth about the health care bill in the days to come.
