The so-called universal healthcare Bill just sent to the floor of the Senate, for debate and a vote, forces taxpayers to pay upfront for services not rendered for 5 years.I probably could have done better, but those are my thoughts right off the top of my head.It forces taxpayers to fund abortion services, never before done in our history.
It removes job protection for hospital workers who refuse, on personal conscience grounds, to aid and abet abortion services.
It forces taxpaying citizens to fund medical services for illegal residents.
It bribes certain members of Congress for their votes and does not impose the "law" equally among states. The government elites imposing it on us don't even have to subscribe to the plan for themselves.
The proposed law will slash Medicare, thus leaving millions of seniors' health at jeopardy.
The American people have been told that it will cost less than a trillion dollars to implement when the actual cost will be double, or triple, that figure, according to CBO estimates.
Supposedly they will pay for this Bill partially by cleaning up Medicare fraud. Why don't they just fix that anyway? The government could surely use the money.
When has there ever been a law that throws people in jail for refusing to buy insurance? This is surely unconstitutional. And, it doesn't even cover everyone!
Probably the only honest statement about this proposed bill was when US Representative, Joe Wilson, shouted "You lie!" at the address given by the President to Congress.
The American people should exercise their basic "public option" and vote out the Senators and Congresspeople who force this unfair law upon us.
I liked your letter, especially this part -
