“It shouldn’t be this hard, though, to get our elected officials to represent our best interests.”
I know, I say that all the time myself. I’d like to send every one of them a “United States Constitution for Dummies” book.
We should be concerned. All we want is repeal. It doesn’t take a health care bill to deal with out of control malpractice lawsuits, illegals bilking the system, the lack of competition and the insane number of mandates. But the RINOs keep talking about ‘repeal and replace’. I bet that ‘replace’ is gonna leave a mark...on us.
The best we can do is give them a political death or near-death experience in 2012. Sooner or later they will get it. I just hope the momentum builds, and the electorate is even more fired up in two years.
“It doesn’t take a health care bill to deal with out of control malpractice lawsuits, illegals bilking the system, the lack of competition and the insane number of mandates.”
It was simple really.
But the trial lawyers and La Raza lobbied any efforts to limit them, and of course the insurance companies did too because they don’t want competition.
So their answer, a boondoggle bill that imposes more tax and more power given to the IRS — and an even greater price paid in the loss of privacy and freedoms. But, hey, as long as those other guys are happy...
Fortunately it didn’t exactly work out for them. They got ‘Shellacked’, to use Obama’s term. Now if we can just keep fear percolating in the RINOs, we may get out from under the Obamacare juggernaut after all. If not—hand them their butts in 2012.
Congress got out of control because for too many years they misbehaved with impunity. Finally they are paying a price. They will straighten up if they see the voters are serious.
Unfortunately, there are probably some (hopefully not many) who think 2010 was an aberration. If enough of them lose seats in 2012, we will have gotten their attention in a serious way.
Amen! The reason health insurance is so expensive is due to state legislatures forcing insurers to cover this, that, and the other. Nobody can buy just the coverage they want. Some things, like chiropractic and mental health treatments, go on forever, and even if you don’t choose to participate, you are paying for everyone who does. It’s just another form of socialism, and socialism always fails.
