Never a word about the question of why the federal gov’t should be involved at all in health care, let alone the constitutionality of the present bills.
If the opponents of this massive gov’t takeover of health care continue to focus only on the “Costs”, the real issue is ignored. The numbers can be molded into anything the libs want to meet some arbitrary point set out by those who are wavering on supporting this monstrosity.
The Repubs/Conservatives in congress need to pound home the point that the federal gov’t has no business involving itself in the management of health care, but should only involve itself in removing the current barriers placed by the federal gov’t (and encourage states to do the same), that accelerate the health care costs that provide no value to health care as a whole.
Also, the failings of Medicare and Medicaid need to be emphasized along with the outrageous cost claims made at the beginning of these programs.
These would be the winning arguments ... not how much it will cost over 5, 10, or 15 years. That is a straw dog argument.
The taxes for this anti-health monstrosity start immediately. The purported bill has the plan starting in a few years. So between now and then they will steal a lot money from us with the supposed purpose of paying for the health plan. By any chance do you feel they will spend it elsewhere and/or give it to their buddies? What a bunch of TOTAL losers! Vote these morons OUT!
