Why I am against the Healthcare Bill...

As others who are against the Health Care Bill have stated before, I am not against reform, but against the way it was handled.

The amount of corruption, backroom deals, and lack of transparency are what bothers me the most. Whether you agree or not, most Americans are against this Bill. And most Americans will not let a corrupt machine dictate their future.

I remember back to when these forums were full of posts discussing the upcoming 2008 elections. I was very vocal in my opinion as to why i felt that Obama was a poor choice to lead this country. It was mainly do to his shady past and those he surrounded himself with. And Obama continues today appointing people who share his belief in radically transforming America.

I believe that something Tom Harkin (Dem from the state of Iowa} said prior to the bill passing is important to look at. He said look at this Bill as a starter home in which in the future we can make additions and enhancements to. I have no doubt that in the next few years Private Insurers will be out of business, and every American will fall into the Single Payer plan. Even Vice President Biden said the government now owns the insurance company.

Sorry if im skeptical to believe that the Government will be able to provide me with better healthcare then the Private Sector. I look at this like the DMV on steroids. To believe that health costs will go down, and that your healthcare will improve under this plan is a bit naive in my opinion.

With the state of our economy the way it is, i would argue that getting people back to work should have been priority #1, not Healthcare. The more people back to work would have increased the amount of people who wouldn't need the Government Plan.

Although i agree that Healthcare Reform is important, and that there are people in dire need of help, to shove this Bill through, without the American People and even some elected officials reading all of it, is a huge failure on the part of this Administration. Obama PROMISED that the American People would be able to watch the dealings of this bill on C-Span, however we all know that wasnt true.

Healthcare is a very serious issue and should have been treated as such. The process should have been slowed down and handled with the utmost care. Instead our President and Congress felt it was best at this time to shove this Bill down our throats, without the consent of the majority of Americans.

When the Government gets to big and starts telling you how to live your lives is when i have a problem. Remember this country was founded because people didnt want to live under Government Rule and wanted to pursue Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness. We dont want the Government to dominate every aspect of our private lives do we?

Now although this Bill isnt going to radically transform our country today.

Just look at it as a STARTER HOME

Please remember this is only my opinion. If this Bill sounds good to you, then congrats on your victory.

My prediction for this Administration next will be Amnesty for illegals. Dems are going to need the votes.
