Medical Insurance
Big Red One (a political leaning perhaps?)
The Government take over of Health care is nothing more than a very thinly vieled attempt to steal from "me" the Citizen, the fruits of Liberty purchased with the Blood of generations of Hero's.
The middleclass will be defined down (They have to Tax someone to pay the frieght). The poor (and sometimes undeserving) will be catapulted into ever greater "dependance" upon the largess government. The rich will still be rich (Obama is, after all one of them).
But, I suppose that's the "Change" Obama was talking about all along.
In the End, personal freedom as a Citizen of this Republic (no, it's not a Democracy) will be a casualty and we'll still have to listen to some windbag in Washington tell us how if we just paid more to them they could fix it.
Meanwhile: Elected represenatives in Washington get huge pay raises every year (but none "again" for Senior Citizens who paid into the system their whole life) and the taxpays bites the bullet. More and more "layers" of government are being created with ever useless bill Obama signs into Law. The Lion's share of the money going to "feel good" programs of doubtful origin and even more dubious usefulness.
This is in my humble opinion, not the kind of "Change" I can afford.
Medical Insurance
The only winners in this whole debacle will be the insurance companies and the Congressmen who will be the beneficiaries of their generous campaign contributions. The insurance companies will be delivered 45 million new subscribers and are already spreading the word that costs will rise because of it. Thet are already anticipating having to increase their overhead costs which are already at 31% of the total cost of coverage. Of course, profits must increase proportionately to keep pace.
The only answer is to seriously consider the untthinkable....a system of taxpayer suported, universal medical insurance that removes the greedy, disingenuous insurance companies from the picture. Congress started this debacle by excluding that option from consideration and has never given it a fair chance to be copared to a retail, for-profit model. The American public is being fooled into thinking this mess is "reform" when, in fact it is nothing short of mandated, government endorse mney laundering.
