Top 5 reasons to kill the senate healthcare bill:
1. Forces you to pay up to 8% of your income for health insurance -- whether you want it or not (source)
2. Many of the taxes that will pay for the bill will start now, but the benefits won't start until 2014. How is that helpful? (source)
3. Grants monopolies to drug companies to prevent generic versions of high tech drugs from coming to market. Not sure how that's going to lower costs... (source)
4. Under this bill, the cost of medical care will continue to RISE an average of 1000 a year for a family of four. (source)
5. The minor detail that it's not constitutional! Congress does not have the authority to enact this legislation, yet they don't seem to care. The people we have elected in both parties recognize no limitation on their power, and it's up to us - all of us - to stop this. (source)

Hello Shelly
I think your posts are good. I live in Sweden, northern Europe. Here it is a good thing to have a public health care system If you get sic it is cheap to get help. Let say one has a traffic accident you will get care and rehab for free. Its great! Life expectancy in Sweden is 81 yrs USA 76 yrs
A combination of expensive health insurance and an ever-increasing rate of obesity appear to be behind a startling fall by the US in the world rankings of life expectancy.
Despite being one of the richest countries in the world, America has dropped from 11th to 42nd place in 20 years, according to official US figures.
The US also has a higher infant mortality rate than many other countries: 6.8 deaths for every 1,000 live births. The worst life expectancy figures are in Africa, with Swaziland at the bottom, at 34.1 years

Well said, Shelly.
Not only are they making things much worse, but it's taking them 2,000+ pages to do it. You would think that with as much practice as they've had screwing things up, they could do it more efficiently by now.
Here's my quarter-page health care bill.

Instead of a Mandatory
Instead of a Mandatory Medical Insurance Bill, I would prefer they clarify it even further. Why not just create a 'Life tax'?
Congress is well on it's way to sucking five dollars a day from every citizen and depositing into the hands of a private corporation. People in this country are already having trouble feeding themselves and now they are expected to take on even greater expense?
Seems like we could soon have health insurance gestapo calling upon us for our papers and locking us up if found lacking.
It really is a "life tax" -
It really is a "life tax" - and one that won't improve our quality of life in the least!
We can not allow our country
We can not allow our country to continue to be taken over by bad decisions from the Obama Administration. Especially this one at this point in time!!
Agreed. It's so frustrating
Agreed. It's so frustrating that we're even having to talk about things like this!
Stop referring to it as the
Stop referring to it as the 'health care' bill - it has NOTHING to do with either 'health' or 'care.' Stop copying their Orwellian-speak.
Call it what it is - 'mandatory-medical-insurance' bill.
And get everyone you know to change the language to its true definition.
Lol,, right on. Ministry of
Lol,, right on.
Ministry of Peace and Love, anyone?
I hear you... Congress is
I hear you... Congress is notorious for naming bills the exact opposite of what they are - it's all about the marketing!
But if I called it that, no one would know what I was talking about ;)
