Healthcare reform? Let's be serious-the Republicans don't want to reform health care, they want to eliminate it. The Senators and Representatives who oppose what they call "Obama Care" that would allow every American have access to health care are the same ones who accept large contributions from the wealthy Pharmaceutical companies and the health care industry. Every other Industrialized Nation in the world has some type of health care coverage for their citizens.
Enough stupid voters in Florida elected a Governor who had ran a health care company that swindled the Medicare Program out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Being a Chief Executive Officer of a company should imply that you know what is going on in and take responsibility for your company. Rick Scott either declared no knowledge of, refused to answer questions about, or took the fifth amendment to avoid taking responsibility. Rick Scott should be in prison not in the Governor's Mansion!
A friend of my wife sent a video of a comedian who does a routine about "wasteful" government spending, the You Tube video, "Tim Hawkins - The Government Can". Her daughter sent it to her with a note that it was hilarious! My wife's friend can not afford to pay for healthcare for herself or her mother who has Alzheimer's. She relies on Medicare. Yet she thinks that the government programs that provide these services for her and her Mom are a waste of taxpayers money!?! Her daughter somehow managed file bankruptcy twice and was still able to buy a new car! Her daughter use to get medicaid. She and her daughter spend thousands of dollars traveling all over the country going to seminars that promise that you don't have to pay your taxes or your mortgage, but was totally suprised when the bank forclosed on the daughter's house! This is a case of either not thinking things through or plain and simple hyprocrisy!
You wouldn't be so gun ho to reform health care if you couldn't get any medical or health care for you or your loved ones because you couldn't pay for it. How about me? I have Alzheimer's, once I can no longer work and I lose my health insurance, I'll end up on Medicaid. Who pays for all of these programs, the middle class tax payer. When the wealthy get ill, they can afford to go anywhere in the world to be treated. Yet the wealthy bulk at the very thought of anyone else getting any type of health care.
IF YOU ultra conservatives really what do reform health care, voluntarily and publically pledge to remove yourself from taking advantage of the health care system. Those Senators and Representatives who want to eliminate "Obama Care" should unenroll themselves from the excellent Health Insurance Program that we, the taxpayers, pay for. When you are willing to put your money where your mouth is, then maybe the rest of us will listen to you. Until then, PUT UP OR SHUT UP!
