Shoving Healthcare Down Our Throats

Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Obama are continuing to rule against the American people. The latest attempt is in the healthcare bill. In all the polls the majority of people show they don't want it and want everyone to start over, but the dems in the Obama crowd are insistant on shoving this down our throats whether we want it or not. Why? Because they are socialists and think they know better how to run our lives than we do. You have to ask yourself why do they want to pass something so bad now that doesn't take effect until 2013 when they can pass things tomorrow for reform such as being able to buy insurance across state lines and making policies more affordable or offering medical savings accounts and not this monstrosity of government controlled healthcare.
Reconciliation was not meant to establish policy and that's what this Obama administration is doing. They ignore all concepts of fairness,the constituition and the desires of the people. In poll after poll they show that the majority of people do not want this bill. Even if they do pass it why doesn't it take effect until 2013? There are plenty of things they can do to pass reform now. It started out as just insuring the uninsured and has grown into this 2000 page monstrosity. Dick Morris lists all the nasty ingredients in his column and I'm listing them here. Here they are: If Obamacare passes it will provide:
• A $500 billion cut in Medicare
• 30 million new patients with no new doctors
• Health care rationing
• Protocols of care to deny costly treatments based on how many "Quality Adjusted Life Years" remain
• Require the uninsured to pay $8500 to buy policies
• Fine them 2.5% of their income if they don't
• And send them to jail if they don't pay
• Tax medical devices like pacemakers and automated wheelchairs
• Force up premiums for all Americans by $2,000 a year
• Add $500 billion to the federal deficit (by 2024)
• Raise income taxes 2.5%
• Raise capital gains taxes 2.5%
• Cut reimbursement to doctors who order too many tests for patients
