Health Care at any Cost

What's the rush?

The Senate is now debating health care legislation that will affect every American (and those here illegally) so why rush this through the Congress and the Senate just to pass a new Two Trillion Dollar entitlement program run by the US Government?

Just wait a cotton pickin minute!

First I would argue that the government doesn't have the greatest reputation with previous entitlement programs ... like Medicare that is broke and already fractured. Now there is dicussion that Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are backing off of the "Public Option" in favor of expanding Medicare, adding another 40 Million uninsured and offering a "non-profit" Insurance Plan ... which will ultimately raise premiums for the 80% of Americans that pay for their own insurance and the 60% of Americans that don't want to change anything! Thank you very much keep the Change!

So why in the face of mounting opposition and adding another 10% or Two Trillion Dollars to the Twelve Trillion Dollar deficit ... would the Congress and Senate trudge onward? And by the way ... a 2 Trillion dollar plan today will end up 10 Trillion in four years doubling the current deficit.

Are leaders on Capitol  Hill not listening to the American Public and the constituients who elected them? You bet!
Are there deals and private interest groups benefiting from the close door sessions? You better beleive it!
Should we all be concerned? Yes ... all of us!

I don't dispute that there are problems with the Health Care System. But do we want the government in control? No ... we do not.
What can and should be done?

Pass sweeping tort reform ... that strangles all Doctors and raises your premiums.
Regulate the relationship between large Insurance Companies and Doctors Groups and bring back regional small doctor-owned health care ... eliminating the middle man.
End uneccesaary tests
Wipe out fraud in the Medicare System already in place.
Add common sense end-of-life solutions and prevent doctors who abuse patients wishes.
Require a Living Will for every American with every Drivers License
Close the borders and send Illegal Aliens back home.

And require transparency in Government.
And hold Obama to his word.
He promised live meetings on CSPAN during this process. Have you seen the pictures of closed door sessions? Wouldn't you like to know how they plan to spend our childrens money?

And in 2010 ... Clean House.
End the terms of every single Senator and Congressman and give new candidates with fresh ideas and an honest agenda a chance to make real "CHANGE"
