Health care reform aka health insurance reform aka piece of crap
I was reading on the bill that just passed the House. Someone put a few blurbs together about what some of the bill says. Please, please, call and write your Senators and tell them not to support this complete overhaul of our health care system. We don’t need a complete overhaul. We need change, but not that costs $1.2 trillion over 10 years. It’s full of pork!! And it gives too much power to the government. Which article of the Constitution says that the government can MAKE me buy something or tax me and throw me in jail if I don’t? Where is the liberty and freedom that we used to have going? We should be outraged, but most of us just sit back and take it. WAKE UP, AMERICA!!
