people depending on which poll you believe, the United States Senate voted
to close off debate on the massively expensive and unnecessary health care
deform bill. This clears the bill for passage on Christmas Eve, what a
terrible present to give to America.
There are so many things wrong with what has gone down I don't know where to
begin. President Obama promised us hope and change we can believe in.
Looks to me like his hope and change was to bring Chicago style, corrupt
politics to Washington, DC. I understand that Harry Reed had a private
meeting with Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska and got him to cast the 60th and
deciding vote by promising him increased Medicaid dollars to his state. I
only hope if they try and sneak the public option back into the conference
version of the bill, that Nelson will stand his ground and vote no on final
passage. Or, will he allow himself to get talked into some other sweetheart
deal. You know there will be an attempt to bring back the public option,
liberals are desperate for it because they believe we cannot take care of
ourselves and the Government must make decisions for us, screw that!!!
According to an interview I heard with Linsey Graham, Senator from South
Carolina, there has never been a vote in the Senate as partisan as this one.
When Medicare was passed, only 21 Senators voted no. When the Americans
with Disabilities Act was passed, only eight Senators voted no. On this
debacle, 40 Senators voted no, all Republicans. Even the more liberal or
moderate Republicans like Olympia Snow and Susan Collins from Maine voted
no. Shows you how bad this thing is.
How come at one point, the supposedly non-partison Congressional Budget
office said this bill was going to add almost a Trillion dollars to the
deficit, and now they are saying it will cut $132 billion from the deficit?
As someone said on Fox News, the fix is in here too. This is tampering with
the legislative independence of the CBO in the highest order, if it can be
proven that the Obama administration did this.
This bill will increase all of our insurance premiums. Because insurance
companies will be required to take the sickest patients, they'll have to
raise premiums to cover them as they will have to pay out more in claims.
Obama and others, insurance is a risk based business. Insurance companies
want to minimize risk as much as possible, that's why they place limits on
coverage.
This bill isn't about improving health care. If it were, common sense
changes such as torte reform to reign in malpractice insurance costs and
allowing insurance companies to sell across state lines would be included.
This is nothing more than a wet, sloppy kiss to the liberal fringe of the
Democratic party, and nothing more than a way for Obama to say that he
delivered on his promise to reform health care. Interestingly enough,
according to what I've heard on Fox News, many of the so-called benefits of
this catastrophy don't kick in until 2014, after the next Presidential
election. If this stuff is so good, why wait?
Democrats will, I predict, pay big time for this at the polls in 2010. I
predict the Republicans will regain control of the Senate, and probably the
House. I believe many are having "buyer's remorse" with Obama and his
chronies and will toss out those who voted for things like this health care
deform bill and the so-called stimulus package. I think the Republicans
will take back the Senate by a substantial margin, and if they can do that
and control the house, maybe we can keep Mr. Obama bottled up until 2012
when we can kick his country damaging butt out of office.
