HEALTH PLAN DEFIES COMMON SENSE!

What are we in for if the current Congress passes national health care? The countries who have had this (Australia, England, France, Canada, and others) have experienced INCREASED medical costs and LESS satisfaction with the health care provided! People are waiting months and years for needed medical treatment and are denied medications that the government feels is too expensive. Those people are coming to the US for the medical treatment they can't get in their own countries. Are we not aware of this? Why do we think that our government will do any better? Why do we believe the rhetoric of the politicians?

Medicare and Medicaid are the closest thing to national health care that we have, and those programs are in financial trouble. In 2017 it is projected that Medicare and Medicade will run out of money! Many doctors won't take Medicare patients because of the problems they have with receiving payment from the government and the low allowances for medical services. Believe me, you don't want to end up in a convalescent home that is paid for by Medicare! Those places are disgusting. That's what we'll get with government health care!

We'll all be paying for millions of abortions. President Obama vetoed a bill to give medical care to babies who suffered botched abortions! When will the government start telling us which babies can live in the womb and which babies will have to be aborted because of physical problems? What will happen when the government tells an old person that they can't have the medicine or medical treatment they need because they are too old, and the government doesn't want to spend the money on them? When will the government encourage euthenasia or encourage people to take their own lives when they face painful disease, because giving them proper medical treatment will cost too much? These things would all be a result of government control of medical treatment and medical cost.

Who are you going to complain to if you don't get the medical attention you need? What recourse do you have if something goes wrong with your medical care? You will have no recourse! The government will be in control and will dictate to you what health care you will get!

Let's think about the COST of this. The argument that we will pay for this with savings in medical costs is a total lie! The country is already in tremendous debt that our own government agencies are telling us is "unsustainable"! That means that WE CANNOT PAY FOR THEM! Our nation is on the brink of financial disaster now because of the excessive spending of Congress. There is no way that our nation can tax people enough to pay for this government medical program! Are you willing to pay 75% of your income in taxes? That's what it would take to pay for this.

The same economic principles that we have to use in our lives to survive are also applicable to government. We can't spend and spend without consequences. We have to live within our means. Why should our government be any different? Why? Because they think they can keep taxing us more and more to pay for all their spending. But at some point, even the American people can't pay any more!

Wake up your Senators and your Representatives. Tell them you don't want government health care. Tell them to STOP SPENDING!
