Health Care Bill Is Ill

The new health care bill was just released - over 1,000 pages! Why so many pages? Regulations! For instance, regulations about renting powered wheelchairs, about stopping smoking, about how to deal with dementia. Yes, the government wants more power over your life than ever before. Your personal freedom is on the line.

There will be a new government health board: bureaucrats to make decisions about your health care. To pay for this board, everyone's health insurance will be taxed. Who would willingly pay a bunch of bureaucrats to interfere with his/her health? I will have nightmares over this, while the President and His cronies are deciding who will get the plum assignments on this board.

There is even a tax on those without "acceptable" health care coverage. So don't think that just the "rich" will be paying for this bill. The "rich" tax will only raise half the money necessary to support this health care program, and that's assuming that they don't figure out a way to avoid paying this extra 5.4% on their income.

We will all pay. It will cost some of us our lives. Just picture a United States where all the immigrants have been legalized (more Democrat voters) and your tax dollars are paying for their health care. You turn 65, and need a life-saving operation, but there's no money to keep an old person like you alive. You will be sacrificed for the "greater good".

This is happening right now in Canada and the UK. France has a better system, but they're running a huge health-care deficit that threatens to bring the whole thing down. Is this part of the New World order? No wonder I'm reactionary.
