I'm ALL FOR health care reform. Yep, I really am. I'm all for transportability of health insurance. I'm all for not losing health care because I happen to get sick or have a preexisting condition. I'm all for parents being able to provide health insurance for their kids when they can't find a job after college. I'm also for tort reform.
I believe there are a multitude of things congress (sic) can do to create laws that force insurance companies to provide adequate and affordable coverage to every American citizen. The problem is they're going about it the wrong way. Instead of listening to the people of this country, instead of listening to doctors who provide healthcare, they decided to do what they think is best for all us. It's that old, "do as I say, not as I do" mentality.
I question the judgement of those who believe our government knows what's best for us. Not just with healthcare, but with ALL things. I guess these are the same people who believe it's someone else's responsibility to educate their kids about sex, drugs, religion, morals, thinking for themselves, healthy diets, personal responsibility and a multitude of other useful life skills.
"Do unto others" isn't followed by, "before they do unto you." It's about having mutual respect for people. Congress has decided that they know better. They know what we need regardless of whether we want it or not. Or even HOW we want it. Congress has disrespected a majority of our country and those people will not quickly forget.
The irony of the entire ordeal is this: the entities who will benefit the greatest from government run health are...THE INSURANCE AND DRUG COMPANIES! Don't believe me? Wall Street seems to think so and those stocks are rising in today's trading.
This isn't the end. It's only the beginning.
