I am amazed that our President visited Capitol Hill today for some behind the door arm twisting (and vote buying). Didn't he say that politics "as usual" was out the door in his administration. There would be transparency and bi-partisanship. Where is that now? It is totally non-existent.
If you haven't realized it, this health care bill is nothing but a total government take over of the health care industry. Health care is expensive, but has any one looked at the costs of the development and research of innovative treatments. I don't want government health care, and I don't understand why I can't buy health insurance like I do my car insurance. My health insurance is tied to my employer, and if I don't have a job and have to buy health insurance it sucks.
The first thing about this "reform" is it is unconstitutional if some one would actually address that issue. But second, and most important, we CANNOT afford it as a country. Our country is wallowing in debt, spending money it doesn't have on "stimulus" after another to no avail. The first one under GWB was January 2008 with unemployment at 4.9%. Now, three or four stimulus deals later, unemployment is around 10% and our debt has increased over $1 trillon dollars.
Can some one please stop the bleeding? I want my country back.
