After weeks of secretly creating their partisan government-run health care plan behind closed doors, on Thursday Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats unveiled H.R. 3962, their latest version of the health care legislation (Read it here.)
It is still a government takeover of our health care system that will increase families’ health care costs, increase the deficit, increase taxes on small businesses and the middle class, and hasten Medicare's impending bankruptcy.
The House Democrats’ government-run health care experiment costs over $1 trillion and is 1,990 pages long – over 30 percent longer than Harry Reid’s bill and longer than Hillary Clinton’s bill for universal health care.
That’s not the reform Nebraskans want or need, and it is proof that Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats have no interest in finding a bipartisan solution that will make health care more affordable and accessible.
Scary, huh? So scary that when it came time for my wife and I to decide what to wear to a Halloween party last night, dressing up as the "public option" seemed like the scariest thing we could think of.
Have a happy and safe Halloween.
Can I get some cheese and mustard with that baloney?
ReplyDeleteIt's cheesy enough already.
ReplyDeleteI don't like mustard, but cheese and mayo would do.
ReplyDeleteVery fitting: your party of dead ideas doesn't have to reach very far for a costume idea.
ReplyDeleteI don't think this is cheesy at all, rather, I find the idea of government healthcare terrifiying. The government has no place in my healthcare, and I can't think of anything more scarey than that.
ReplyDeleteFahleson's: nice job on the costumes.
I bet you haven't even read the bill.
ReplyDeleteSo, deployed, are you going to refuse Medicare when you get to be that age?
ReplyDeleteDave, Medicare is about 40-some years away for me. I HIGHLY doubt by that time Medicare will even be around.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Deployed, It'll probably be just like that other short-term Democratic fiasco ... Social Security. Good thing that you and all of your family members swore off of that one too!
ReplyDeleteAll of these current issues are due to the misplaced arrogance of the current administration, majority leadership, and long term members of both houses. They all feel that they know what is best for the rest of us, regardless of what we say, and regardless of party affiliation. Rational discussion or argument is futile with most of the elect, and only a fool argues with an ideologue. When will the Republican party itself get together, produce superior candidates and replace all the dead wood that call themselves senator or representative, be they Republican or Democrat. Just calling yourself a Republican is no longer enough. Ideals, values, courage and common sense should be mandatory for all candidates that get support from the Republican party. Enough of simply supporting the incumbent for our party. Make them earn our continued support. Make them stand up for our rights. Enough talk and useless votes. Let them put their re-election on the line. Then perhaps we will support them. As for the Democrats, there are no words to change their perception of America. We the people, are not fit to decide.
