Samuel Adams

American Patriot & Politician

1722 - 1803

If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

Obama's Idea of healthcare reform?
Tim Pugh of local TEA Party notoriety asked me to post this article and comments for the edification of us all here in Flyover Land

Tim Huwaldt: Obama's Idea of healthcare reform? Not such a good idea after all

It’s no secret that we need some form of health care reform in America. Health care costs are rising, health insurance premiums and deductibles are rising… but our congressmen and women are going about the situation all wrong.
 I spent some time today reading through a few of the bills that are currently in various committees throughout congress. They all aim to do essentially the same things:

a.) Force every American to have health care coverage. Whether you like it or not. If you are uninsured you are penalized. 

b.) The expected cost for one of these bills is going to be around 1 trillion dollars. Who’s going to pay for that? You guessed it. You, the taxpayer.

c.) It will give the Federal Government control over your health. A bunch of bureaucrats deciding my health care needs isn’t my idea of quality health care. I want to decide my health care needs. 

d.) Perhaps the most fundamental tragedy that will come about from this legislation is simply the government having control of yet another facet of your life, and you losing another freedom. Are you as tired as I am of big brother sticking it’s nose in all of your business and trying to control you???

It is estimated that 120,000,000 Americans will be forced into this socialized health plan. Despite what Obama says, most of us will not have any choice on this matter, as most of us receive Health care through our employers. 

Please contact your senators and representatives and tell them that you are opposed to a government run health care system, proposed by such bills as s.391 (which is in the senate financial committee right now. Our own Senator Grassley is the ranking member of that committee),
 H.R. 193, and S. 698 because as an American YOU and YOUR DOCTOR should be in full control of the type of care you receive.
