Health reform as written is going to make healthcare much more expensive than it already is. New fees and taxes on insurance companies, taxes on makers of medical equipment and more taxes on us will eat us up. Yes, I know they say taxes on individuals is only on those making over $250,000.00 but, Everyone who is taxed to pay for health reform are going to pass it on to the consumer. They would be fools not too.
At this present time, there is a shortage of doctors. When they begin to provide for the 32 million more, the shortage will become a big crisis. Doctors will demand more money for longer hours and the stress of overload of patients. Don't take me wrong. I want everyone to have medical coverage. Since those 32 million can not afford insurance now and therefore can not afford prescriptions we will need to subsidize. With new taxes added on to prescriptions, Many of us with healthcare will not be able to afford prescription costs. So not only are we paying more money in taxes on what we need, we also will subsidize others. My point to all of this is that healthcare was slapped together way too quickly. There needed to be much more thought as to how it should be done. It was done in secret behind closed doors and no republicans were invited to the party. Therefore only half of those who represent the people had any say in it. Legislation of this magnitude should have everyones input. I believe it was done in this way on purpose to (1) to bolster Obamas image and (2) to put us so far in debt to where America has to rely on government for survival. I believe the stated goal could have been accomplished by 0ther means without being so expensive.

Our forefathers said: When the people fear the government...... there is dictatorship
When the government fears the people..... there is democrocy

I don't know about others but, I want the government to fear the people. I say we show the government we will not live in fear of them. In November, we have an opportunity to change the balance of power and show our elected representatives we are taking back our government.
If they are not there to represent us then they do not need to be there.
