If, by now, you're hiding in the dark and ignoring politics (like I did for years) and you have no idea what's all going on with Goverment Controlled Healthcare, it's time to find out.
Read some blogs, ask a friend - do anything you have to do. But find out the facts, and if you decide you're opposed to it - CALL YOUR Senators and Congressmen and tell them to vote AGAINST it!
Tonight, our corrupt leader, Mr. Obama, is going to come on your television spouting out how amazing this is going to be, and how it will help thousands of people and blah blah blah. Did you know that Mr. Obama, although he's pushing super-hard for this doesn't even know exactly what's in this bill?!
If this goes through, the U.S. will never be the same. We will be so far down the road of Socialism/Fascism, there will be no turning back. We will ALL be affected one way or another in a negative way. All other countries who are on Government Controlled Healthcare dislike it. Additionally, if Government Controlled Healthcare is so amazing, why aren't any Politicians citing Medicare, Medicade or our Veteran's Hospitals as examples of how well Government systems work? Answer: Because they're not good examples. Our Government can't even fix our economy after stealing $1.4 TRILLION dollars from our pockets, and future generations pockets. Healthcare will cost all of us normal citizens TONS of cash - I think the estimate was somewhere around $1.2 TRILLION just to get it implemented. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated the cost upwards of almost $10 TRILLION over the next 10 years to help fund the cost of this Healthcare overhaul. But wait - we're not even out of the woods with all the Stimulus packages yet!
Again, READ up on it - watch O'Reilly or Glenn Beck. You won't get any coverage on this from your regular fluffy-fluff stations - they all love Barack Obama and the amazing poor job he's doing so far. If you don't have the time to sift through all the material, ASK someone who already knows. This is the big one, and Obama is pushing HARD to get this passed fast. Even some Democrats are backing off of this one due to the size and scope of it. But if people don't get involved and contact their local representatives, then those people are leaving it all up to the Politicians who don't necessarily look out for the best interest of the people they represent. Either that, or at the very least, if you don't get involved you're leaving it all up to your neighbors to do for you. This is YOUR government and YOUR community. Get involved and know what's going on.
sheesh. since i'm like the only one who comments on your blog, i feel like you're giving me a good tongue lashing.

i read the post above this, the one on 10 questions to ask. interesting. i'll have to read more into this. but i do have a friend in canada. she hates their government health care. it takes many, many months to get in to check ups, and forget about second opinions. i haven't really heard anything positive about it yet.
