"I Promise, I will Never Die".................

In light of the Senate and House both passing Healthcare Reform, I must reflect on what this “Historic” passage really is. The bills are more historic in the underhanded tactics used to pass them then they are in providing health care. A series of political bribes and closed door meetings, culminating in 2,000 pages of craptastic debt. The bill is not about health care, or the well being of Americans. It is about politics--plain and simple--nothing more.


The whole thing is about passing just about ANYTHING to keep appearances and maintain the illusion of Democrat lead progress . After all, why worry about legislation having a negative effect when it is not even implemented until after the 2012 election?

Think about the process of this reform: the rush to pass it-- the self imposed deadlines (august recess, labor Day, December 1, and finally Christmas). Why the Rush? None of the programs are even implemented for 4 more years. Nearly every Senate and House member questioned about it admits to not having read the bills. Yet supporters for it, and protesters against it, are vehement in their stance.

Thomas Sowell Writes: “The only rational explanation for such haste to pass a bill that will be slow to go into effect is to prevent the public from knowing what is in this massive legislation. That is also the only reason that makes sense for postponing the time when Obamacare goes into action after the next presidential election.”

It’s all politics people. America doesn’t want the government to run healthcare, but everyone wants something for nothing, and politicians want to be the ones to provide it. Obama continues to ramble that we cannot afford NOT to address healthcare, and he’s right. Our healthcare system is too expensive and insurance costs are far too high. But Obama’s legislation does not, in any way, address the cost of health care. It is an insurance bill. Simply paying less for healthcare won’t mean we have cheaper healthcare. More likely, it will mean we have a lower supply of doctors, medical supplies, and technology advancements. The government tried Medicare and its going bankrupt faster then they ever imagined it would. They tried Social Security, same thing. Medicaid, Veterans care, and on down the line. Why would any person want them to handle this? It is a political ploy that is going to cost us in quality care and supply, not to mention increase our debt. It is another glaring example of how self-interested and diluted our politicians have become. Willing to pass such a terrible piece of legislation because the pundits say they have to.

Where’s the promised bipartisanship? Where is the Promised Transparency? Where is the promised 3 day internet posting of the bill? Where is the Bill? The media is too busy writing stories about how hard it is being Obama to actually think about what is going on We have more news coverage about Sarah Palin’s vacation trips, then we do criticizing this process. They have hidden this bill from the beginning, finally passing it on Christmas eve to avoid the attention of the public. We are being force fed a bowl of crap, so that Democrats can hang their hat on something for next election. The really depressing thing about it is that Obama admits that this is just a first step. So, we are going to have to listen to this debate for years and years to come.

“In a sense, this administration is only the end result of a long social process that includes raising successive generations with dumbed-down education in schools and colleges that have become indoctrination centers for the visions of the left. Our education system has turned out many people who have never heard any other vision and who can only learn what is wrong with the prevailing vision from bitter experience." -Sowell-
