Let's hope 'they' don't pass JUST ANY BILL! Pelosi and Reid are determined to pass something, anything, before the new Massachusetts Senator takes his seat. This means at ANY COST and at OUR EXPENSE! Please understand, I want health care reform. Nevertheless, I don't want the piece of sh*t bills drafted in the Senate and Congress that are currently on the table. This is SO NOT COOL! I will be SUPER PISSED OFF if they cram anything out of SHEER DESPERATION so they can CLAIM a victory! Victory for whom? Most definitely NOT the American people.
They claim that 30 million Americans are without health care right now. Okay, the US Census Bureau reports there are 307 million Americans today. That would mean roughly 10% of the American population are without health care. Are you following me? Well, both the House and Senate bills admit that ONLY 94% of the American population will be covered leaving 6% without coverage. Hhmm... let us do the math please. 10% - 6% = 4%. Are you following me? These two bills they're about to toss a coin in the air to pick which one they'll pass WILL ONLY HELP 4% of the 10% that do not have or are unable to obtain coverage! LEAVING 6% WITHOUT ANY COVERAGE! That's roughly 20 MILLION Americans that will STILL be left UNINSURED. Why couldn't our government draft a bill that would explicity help the 10% of our population that needs help? But I suppose that would be TOO EASY! Our government likes to COMPLICATE EVERYTHING!
How the heck is that SOLVING THE FRICKEN PROBLEM! Meanwhile, the LAWS affecting the remaining 90% of the United States population will have the LAWS SURROUNDING our coverage dramatically changed. Those of us with coverage will be TAXED up the wazoo! Not to mention, the entire nation will be FORCED to purchase health care coverage! That is what a mandate means: FORCED to purchase a PRODUCT! Who the heck do you think benefits? Hello, the INSURANCE COMPANIES who will have the government send tons of new customers by LAW! Both the bills currently on the table STATE that if you DO NOT REPORT ACCEPTABLE health care COVERAGE TO THE IRS, you will be FINED and if you DO NOT PAY THE FINE, you will be sent to PRISON! No fricken joke! Is this the health care reform you asked for or even imagined???
The American people deserve better than this. No, let me re-phrase that. The American people deserve THE BEST and not some half-ass piece of legislation. That is precisely what we should be DEMANDING from Washington Officials! Just take a good look at how our government run Foster Care System has grossly FAILED our orphaned children in America! These foster care children are OUR FUTURE! Just take a good look at how our government run Medicaid program has grossly FAILED our low-income and poor American families! Just take a good look at how our the Federal government has grossly FAILED our Veterans. Don't you think the BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars that our government has spent on EARMARKS should have been spent to improve on these FAILED programs?! Don't you agree that this would be taxpayer money well spent, instead of wasting our taxpayer money on special interest EARMARKS that Americans DO NOT benefit from ONLY the politicians?!
DISCLAIMER: I was a Democrat my entire life. I have recently changed my political party affiliation and am now registered as an INDEPENDENT. I have been part of the Tea Party Movement since its inception. Why? Well simply because I am sick and tired of Washington Officials both Republicans and Democrats, pulling a fast one on the American people spending our taxpayer money recklessly and irresponsibly. I felt the outcry deep down in my spirit that began last year, "NO MORE TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!" I am not white and oh yes I am educated. MSNBC and CNN would have you believe that I am a right-wing vile rabid uneducated white Republican. Well guess what? I MOST DEFINITELY AM NOT ANY OF THOSE THINGS!
