Health Care Reform

To be honest, I haven't followed this whole health care thing very closely. I got turned off to the issue last year when I realized that this was all the Democrats actually cared about getting done, and that they were going to get it done no matter how much Americans don't want it.

They have tried to tell us that this reform will save the government, and us, money. They show us numbers of anticipated savings...what I fear is the unanticipated. There is no telling the adverse consequences of all these mandates on private insurance companies. They say that because more healthy people will be required to get insurance, this will lower the costs for everyone. What they don't focus so much on is the increase in expenses the insurance companies will have because of these new rules and regulations. Does the government care if private insurance becomes unaffordable? No, this will create a demand for a public option which is what we all know the government is dying to provide. So we see, that all this is is a step towards socialized medicine. No, this is not the last piece of health care reform legislation that any of us will see in our lifetime.

And where's the tort reform? So is this never going to happen? If it was going to happen you think it would have been included in this legislation. Really? Unbelievable.

In Obama's campaign for presidency he promised many times, and in different ways, that he would be transparent and accountable to the people. This health care reform has been anything but those things. The Dems quickly realized that the more transparent this reform was, the less popular it became. Here is a clip talking about this very thing, from CNN mind you.



Here is another clip addressing an entirely different approach, one that is seldom talked about anymore. How is a federal health care reform mandate constitutional? Short answer: it's not. Seven minute and twenty-nine second answer from Judge Andrew Napolitano:
