Conclusion

We have to get people into congress that are looking out for our best interest. We need to flood our representatives with calls, complaining about the bill. Of course, i am not sure how well that would work, I mean we are one of the states that appealed it. This will be an interesting battle that we should all be a part of.

I just want to say, ranting about this health care nonsense has not been the greatest thing. the more I find out, the more I get pissed about it. the thing is, it needs to be done. We need to know what congress is doing and stop them when we don't agree. It's like one JFK said in his inaugural speech, "Ask not what your county can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." is this the country you want your children in? I know I don't. I want my kids to grow up without trillions of dollars of government debt, I want them to not have to get a fine for no health care, I want them to make their own money and learn to provide for themselves, and I don't want my children thinking the government will give them everything.

WE need to get the people out of congress who don't think they have to listen to us. that is just stupid! Like the Duke once said "Life is hard, it's even harder when your stupid." Lets vote stupid out of congress

What Do We Do?

I really don't even know how to say this, but we are royally screwed! Just with this administration we have quadrupled the deficit, pretty sure thats not good at all. This administration has spent more money in a year and a half than what has been spent since this country first started. Why do I talk about the money spent do you ask? Well, because the current health bill is spending more of the American people's money.

I really doubt that anyone wants EVEN MORE of their money spent, but hey, I'm just saying. Why would anyone want this bill? Oh, I forgot, if the new immigration bill passes, then every illegal immigrant will get free health care! How wonderful for them! But, just so you know, we pay for it.

I really want to find something good about this bill. I have tried, but all I can find is earmarks that have nothing to do with health care, bad ideas that will cost the American people, and a whole lot of other nasty things that shouldn't be there. PLEASE! If someone has something good to say then tell me, I would really love to hear it.

Here is a video thats leaked out. Its from CNN, apparently. I got it in an E-mail. http://d.yimg.com/kq/groups/17260182/1610997888/name/ftc-vi26.wmv

How Much More Can Go Wrong?

Okay, so I heard some disturbing news today. You know how Obama promised that the illegal immigrants won't get health care? Well, did he mention the new immigration bill? The administration would like to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants. Thats right amnesty for around 12 million illegal immigrants (closer to 20 million). Wow! I don't even know what to say to that one. I mean, yes these illegal immigrants do the jobs that we won't, and for less pay, but is giving them amnesty really helping the American people? Seriously, think about this. There are around 12 million illegal immigrants, that we know of, working in America right now. So, that is 12 million, or more, jobs that the American people could have.

Our unemployment is at 10%, but that is only counting the 10% thats still looking. If you count the people who have given up the search, unemployment has reached closer to 20%. Now, if 12 million jobs opened up, wouldn't that help slightly with unemployment? But enough of that, we are talking about health care! Did you know that the current administration in trying to push immigration amnesty before the next election? Do you wonder why this is being done? I sure don't. Think of how many that will have health care that we pay for if that happens! 12 million more people to pay for. YAY!

So, there are over 10 states, including the great state of Utah, that have decided to go against congress. their reason? They argue that the new health care is unconstitutional. They say that congress cannot force people to have health care. The people who don't want this bill want congress to realize that it is congress' job to protect the people's rights, NOT GRANT THEM.

Well, health care passed, but my question is, will the immigration bill? And if it does, how much damage will that do? And will it save the approval rating of the administration? Just so you know, President obama is at about 40% approval, Biden is around 20%, and Pelosi is at 12%. It should be interesting to see where this goes.

I Found Some Good..... Sort of

There are some good things in this bill that passed. Like, with both of the bills, they cover 32 million uninsured Americans and try to get rid of or improve unpopular practices of the insurance companies. In a decade the deficit should reduce by an estimated $143 billion. My question is, with this administrations spending habits, how high will the deficit be in a decade?

I give them props, there is no public option, which was something that was protested highly. They also have eliminated the pre-existing condition problems. I mean there are SOME good things in this bill but not a whole lot.

Why would we want our student loans to be in the hands of the government? Oh, you thought I was just going to talk about health care? well the bill doesn't just involve health care. One of the many earmarks in the bill, that people don't want, is taking away banks and private lenders ability to originate student loans. Oh goody, the government now controls some other way of DISTRIBUTING money.

The president said something interesting, might make a few people mad, but he doesn't seem to care what the American people think. "From this day forward, all of the cynics, all of the naysayers--they're going to have to confront the reality of what this reform is and what it isn't," President Obama said. "They'll have to finally acknowledge this isn't a government takeover of out health care system."

I want to know how is it not? I mean by 2014, if you don't have health insurance you will be fined. I don't agree with FORCING me to have health insurance, that is my right to have it or not. I think the government should stay away from giving me rights, thats not their job. They are supposed to protect my "alienable rights" that every American has.

The fact that the government is trying to give us rights, the fact that they are slowly getting control over every dime I get, is really starting to scare me. The bill that is not only about health care is spending A LOT of our money, we shouldn't let that happen.

Change Is Needed....But Not Like This

Doctors are so scared about getting sewed that they give paitents more tests than they actually need. Its bringing up the cost of one visit to be more than any one American can afford. People are now avoiding even going to the doctor, even if they need to. Doctors are only trying to cover themselves from getting sewed and losing their jobs. This culture has become so "me" oriented that doctors have to be ready for anything. They have to avoid losing their jobs to save their family.
Insurance companies are starting to cover less and less. They have so many previous condition lists that make it so you can't even get health insurance. If you manage to, then it's really expensive. It's more expensive to have health insurance now than it has ever been.
People all over America are in agreence, health care is a problem, but they also agree that it's the cost and previous condition regulations that are the major problem, not the coverage. We need to find a way of keeping the great health insurance, without the terrible cost.
On the Glenn Beck program, they argue about what's going on in the debate. They end with Beck saying:
"It is really, truly amazing how the media is I mean, if you were just objective at all, at all, you have the Premier of Canada coming from this utopian medical society of Canada here to have heart surgery because it's not routine because it is difficult. Then on the same day you have the president of the United States saying, "Hey, by the way, you know, I tried to be very clear that you should be able to keep your own doctor, but some of the things slipped into this bill under the cover of darkness. May have gotten in there that won't guarantee that you can keep your own doctor." My gosh!"

What Happened to Bipartisanship?

Right out of Washington Post today it says:

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama urged Congress Wednesday to vote “up or down” on sweeping health care legislation in the next few weeks, endorsing a plan that denies Senate Republicans the right to kill the bill by stalling with a filibuster.

In our president's so-called bipartisanship aren't the republicans supposed to have a say too? I agree with the president, another year of negotiations will do nothing, if they keep arguing like they have been. This isn't one-sided; no one side has the right solution. They need to get everyone's opinion and combined a solution that will actually help the American people. Maybe, for once, Congress should actually listen to the everyday Americans, not the "experts." You never know, it could help.

What the hell! The president talks about being bipartisanship and then turns around and endorses the democratic leaders of congress to put regulations on the republicans. I am pretty sure that will do nothing to help anyone out Mr. President.

No, there needs to be a true bipartisanship. The country needs both conservative and liberal to run properly. One or the other running congress doesn't do anyone any good. I think that people need to see that both sides of the argument are important. They both need to be heard and they both need to be used. It's called compromise people.
