The Federal government seems determined to force National Health Care on everyone. Despite national polls indicating overwhelming opposition, Democrats in Congress are pushing ahead with legislation that will hand control of ALL of YOUR Health Care over to the Federal government. Some call it free health care. It will be free to those who don't work. What about the 90 % of Americans who do get out of bed and go to work every day? It will cost us dearly. In some European countries with socialized health care, the government takes up to 60 % of workers paychecks to pay for social programs. When it comes to taxes of any kind, I have a real problem in giving more of my income to government than I give to GOD.
Let's look at how well the Federal government runs some of the programs it is responsible for.
SOCIAL SECURITY: It is almost broke. More $$$$ are paid out than is coming in. Able-bodied people who have never worked a day in their life will get a S.S. check their entire life. As part of the stimulus bill this spring, Social Security was supposed to mail out $250 checks to eligible recipients. By their own admission, over 10,000 checks was mailed to dead people.
MEDICARE / MEDICADE : Since their beginning in 1965, these government run medical programs have cost hundreds of Billions of dollars more than projected, offered inferior health care and have always been riddled with fraud. And despite all of our taxpayer money thrown at them, they too are almost bankrupt.
U.S. POSTAL SERVICE: I hope you have warm and fuzzy feelings from your experiences dealing with the post office, their service level will continue to decline. The Postal Service is projecting a $700 Billion loss this year even after raising postal rates again this summer.
AMTRAK: Despite spending Billions on this National Rail Service, it has always lost money.
CASH FOR CLUNKERS: This is the latest and greatest from Washington D.C. Congress allocated 1 Billion $$$ to help get older model gas hogs off the road if you buy a new, more fuel efficient model. It was supposed to be in effect until Nov 1. The program ran out of money in 4 DAYS!!!!. Instead of admitting they can't do anything right, Democrats in Congress are working on a deal to throw another 2 BILLION $$$$ into the program. Cash for Clunkers should never have happened anyway. This is just the first step by the federal government to dictate what type vehicle you will drive.
I challenge anyone to show me a government program that has a track record of being well run, achieving expected results and staying within budget.
We need to fight a National Health Care Bill. Begin calling and writing your U.S. Congressman and Senator today! As the actual vote gets near, you will not be able to contact them. Phone lines will either be busy or turned off. They need to hear your opposition to the Health Care Bill now! When the Federal Government runs the only health care available, who will you complain to when things go wrong.
Remember our National Motto:
In God We Trust
