Health Care Bill

"Elections have consequences." We've heard that one a lot lately and now we are experiencing it. And, the experience isn't a good one.

The health care bill is an abomination. Those who vote for a Congressman or Senator who support it deserves exactly what they get--and, unfortunately, the rest of us who use our votes much more wisely get it, too. I wish we could rescind their right to vote for being stupid.

Imagine a car dealer who tells you, "OK, you bought the car tonight. You can make payments on it for four years and then you get the car." Read the health care bill.

Imagine a family of 4 with an income of up to $96,000...it now qualifies for Medicare. So I am now paying for that family's health care, even though it makes more than twice what I make. You mean to tell me a family that makes $96K can't afford its own health insurance. Why not? Exactly why not?

Imagine paying a LA Senator $300,000,000 to get her vote. Let's see, when we pay a woman or man for sex, that's prostitution--and it's illegal. Hmmmm.

Imagine getting a NE Senator to vote for the bill by promising him his state won't have to kick in matching funds (well, OK, the feds pay 60% and the states 40%) for Medicaid coverage. Hey, why doesn't my state get the same thing? Isn't Michigan the hardest hit state in this recession?

Imagine, where are our two US Senators in all of this?

Imagine this bill, other than the taxes for it, don't go into effect until after the next Presidential election. Wonder why?????

Imagine a bill that still doesn't cover 21,000,000 Americans (about 7%). Now, even though the liars claimed 48,000,000 Americans don't have health insurance now, the number is likely less than half that--take out the illegals, those too lazy or stupid to sign up or Medicare/Medicaid or S-Chip, those who opt to pay cash for health services instead of insurance premiums, and those who opt to gamble by choosing to spend their money on other things. So, to cover about 1% of the population, we are messing up health care for 85-90% of Americans.

Imagine, now, having to pay income tax on health insurance given as a perk at work.

Imagine your life insurance policy expiring and, to renew, rates more that tripled. Now, will Congress pay for my life insurance premiums? Come to think of it, will it also pay for my auto insurance, homeowners' insurance, and any other I can think of?

Imagine sneaking around on Sat eves, the night before Thanksgiving, Chris eve to pass bills. Imagine have a 2000+ page bill that nobody has read be transformed into a 1000 page bill in 17 hours and having it pass--all before anyone in the public knows what is in it!

Imagine passing a bill that doesn't apply to those who passed the bill! Congressmen and Senators and their staffs are not subject to it and its provisions.

Imagine we elect and re-elect these duplicitous, arrogant, dishonest fools. A bad dream? Nope, not at all.
