YES, ANOTHER DAMN ANON POST

I don't know what people are freaking out about. I've been on both sides of the fence, with health insurance, and without. While I agree there should be some kind of reform, so that premiums and deductibles aren't so high, and that medical procedures don't cost a life savings, NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY, is EVER without access to health-care.

When I didn't have insurance, I went through my local Health Department's clinic for prenatal care. They worked out a deal with a wonderful hospital (that treated me like a queen) where I delivered my baby for $350. That covered EVERYTHING (including the Amnio I ended up needing).

My sister went through a teaching hospital to have her baby, and she didn't pay a dime for prenatal, or delivery.

People just have their hearts set on "free" health-care...here's a clue, NOTHING is free!!!  There are always concessions that have to be made, and it's going to cost somebody, somewhere. 

What's the rush?  Hasn't anyone heard that "quickly" and "good" do not meet?  Other presidents and Congressmen/women have worked YEARS trying to implement health-care reform, yet they haven't been successful.  Why?  Because they realized there's way more kinks to work out than they thought.  Yet BO has only been in office what, 8 months, and he thinks he can rush something through that nobody else was able to accomplish, having been in office for years?!?  Yeah right, dream on.  He clearly has visions of grandeur.

Personally, I don't think it's fair, or right, that my taxes should be raised, or that my mother's Medicare should be affected just so somebody, I don't even know, can have UHC.  It's not my responsibility to take care of you.  My job is to take care of my family.  If I see someone in need, and I have the means to help them, and I CHOOSE to help them, fine.  But I shouldn't be forced into something I don't WANT to do. 

THAT is not freedom, that's not even charity, that's bondage, Socialism and eventually COMMUNISM.  Which by the way, didn't work so well for Russia.  When it collapsed, the people were thrown into poverty, they were literally crippled financially.  They had to wait in long lines just to buy a loaf of bread.  There were no jobs, no health-care, food shortages, etc.

The people were forced into depending on the government for everything.  When the government couldn't provide for them anymore, they had NOTHING! 

The way our renegade government is spending and getting us into debt, it won't take long for their UHC to FAIL.  Then what?  Do you think BO cares?  Hell no!  He hasn't even bothered to take the time to READ the damn bill.  How do you expect him to take our future into consideration?  As long as he gets his ego stroked, and gets his way, in order to save face, he could care less about you or me.

Then what?  Where, who, would we turn to?  You're delusional if you think other countries would lend a helping hand.  They're nothing but parasites.  They take and give nothing in return.  We'll be broke, the UHC system will be broke, doctors and hospitals will be broke, Medicare and Medicaid will be broke.  Then what?

I hope everyone screaming for "free health-care for all" are aware that NOBODY has bothered to tell us how they're planning on PAYING for this.  Oh, hints are starting to be dropped about raising taxes, cutting Medicare, and such, but that isn't "paying" for an innovative ideal, it's ROBBING Peter to pay Paul.  What happens when Peter is BROKE?!?

Get your heads out of the sand! Start demanding answers, holding your Representatives accountable.  Insisting they do the jobs they were elected to do...REPRESENT THE PEOPLE!  We didn't put them into office to take away our freedoms, our choices.  We didn't put them in office to CONTROL things.  We elected them to REPRESENT us!  STOP SHIRKING YOUR OBLIGATION AND RESPONSIBILITY as an American to DO YOUR DAMN JOB OF BEING AN AMERICAN! 

Those who are opposing this horrible plan of BO's aren't un-American, un-patriotic, we're scared...we're fed up...we're EXPECTING those in the White House to remember they are supposed to be FOR the people, BY the people, OF the people.  Calvin Coolidge said, "Patriotism is easy to understand in America: it means looking out for yourself by looking out for you country." 

A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into shaping our Constitution, and I'm appalled at how many are so willing to just ignore that, and allow our country to be sold up the river.  I'm getting sick of hearing people tell me, "If you don't like it, move."  Leave America?!?  Are you kidding me?  This is MY country, if you want to live in a Socialistic, or Communist country...YOU move.  I'll help you pack.   Hell, I'll even buy you a damn plane ticket.  Where do you want to go?  China?  Cuba?  Then there's Canada...yeah, why don't you check into how well they're UHC program is working.  They're going BANKRUPT!

I don't want to read the BULLSHIT I've seen from a few of you that live in Canada either.  I'll call you out on it.  I have friends and family that live there, and I KNOW for a FACT that you're lying through your teeth saying how "wonderful" it is.  IMO, you're probably BO PLANTS!  He's already proven he's not above sending in his goons when things aren't going his way.
