The Senate Finance Committee chaired by Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) finally came out with a proposal for health care reform. This proposal far exceeds the usual level of stupidity that is to be expected from our rulers in Washington.
The reason given for the effort to reform health care was that 25 million people were not covered by health insurance. After laboring mightily for many days this committee came up with a plan that will cost, according to their own estimates, will cost over $900 billion. But guess what? Does it provide for allowing the purchase of health insurance across state lines? No!! Does it address frivolous malpractice suits? No!! Did they do anything about the high cost of prescription drugs? No!! After this huge expenditure this plan would still leave 25 million people uninsured!! So what is the point?
Washington estimates being notoriously unreliable this proposal if adopted will surely cost over a trillion dollars. And where will this trillion come from? Out of the wallets of every person in this country.
How could anyone vote for this ridiculous bill. It accomplishes nothing in regard to improving health care but does a great deal to take money from Americans of all income groups. It also puts decisions on who will get treatment in the hands of government bureaucrats. They may call it by some other name but Gov. Palin was right it's a Death Panel.
If you value your health, your freedom and your money call your representative and your senators and demand that this whole health care scheme be dropped. Not only this Baucus bill but any so-called comprehensive health reform bill. Sure as shootin' they'll mess it up. Separate bills to allow people to buy health insurance in any state in the country, to reduce frivolous malpractice suits and to reduce the cost of prescription drugs will go a long way to reduce health care costs.
Oh yes and rounding up and deporting illegal aliens would also help a lot.
This makes me FURIOUS!! Don't vote for incumbents!! Don't vote for lawyers!!
