WHY THE RUSH TO "HEALTHCARE"?

I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV, but
I'm becoming a professional patient, what with
numerous visits to various doctors and three
"draws" at the lab in the last three weeks. Nor
am I an expert on insurance companies, medical
practices and procedures, or the inner workings
of Congress and the White House.
BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT "SOMEONE" IS IN
A HURRY TO GET LEGISLATION PASSED
THAT WILL TOTALLY CHANGE THE WAY WE
LIVE AND DIE in our great America!
From a variety of national and personal contacts
and sources, there is trepidation among an ever-
increasing number of Americans about the attempts
of Obama, socialists, and perhaps even foreign
entities to have our government control every aspect
of our public and private lives.
Answer for yourself, how is it that a man can come
into office and in his first six months create so much
alarm and fear in our citizens? What is his or his
supporters' goal? Are we better than we were before
he took office? Is the path that he's taking us onto
going to make a "change" for the better?
There seems to be a hurry to get things done without
proper deliberations and input. How did the stimulus
bill come about so quickly? How did the supposed
"Obamacare" package get composed so quickly? One
friend of mine thinks that some of these items were
"on the drawing board" or even written long ago!
Who are the authors? Where is the "transparency"
that we were promised? How idiotic for John Conyers
and others to insist that it's impossible to know
everything that's in the bill before voting on it and
passing it? WHAT WERE THEY ELECTED TO DO?
Did doctors or medical practitioners participate in
the writing? Did hospitals or nursing homes? Did
insurance companies or patients? THE AUDACITY
OF THE AUTHORS TO THINK THEY KNOW MORE
THAN THE PROFESSIONALS!!
I say lock all of Congress in a room with their copies
of the supposed "healthcare" bill, and don't let them
take "recess" or vacation until they prove that
they've read, understand, and have made the
probably numerous changes and corrections that
the bill should have "operated on"!
I'll try to address specific issues in my next
writing, hopefully before any "rush to judgment"
is finalized, but in the meantime, call, write,
fax, or see your congressman and let him know
what your/our concerns and fears are.
If you've been watching and listening, the
adoption of a social medicine program has had
many horror stories in Canada and England -
and that's what is being proposed here!
LET YOUR ELECTED SENATOR AND/OR
REPRESENTATIVE KNOW THAT HE/SHE
IS WORKING FOR YOU!! You put him/her
into office, and you and I and others can see
that they don't continue in that position!
STAND UP, FIGHT, SPEAK UP, AND LET
YOUR VOICE BE HEARD IN WASHINGTON!!
We are America! Let's stay that way!
