Even Howard Dean called this “reform” plan crazy! “Reform” is in quotes because calling this reform is a lie.This is not reform, it’s a complete socialist take over health care with rationing of care for the old and undesirable. If there was tort reform (anathema to the greedy trial lawyers like John Edwards, who coincidentally are huge Obama/DNC donors), coupled with responsibility, e.g. people not using the emergency room when they could go to the doctor or treat themselves, the costs of medicine would go way down.
I’d be happy to tell you about the EGREGIOUS ABUSES of the welfare system I personally witnessed firsthand everyday working for 3.5 years at a pharmacy in Covington. And, if this is such a great plan, why isn’t Congress and the President signing up for it? As soon as they have to eat their own cooking, I might be willing to listen. But they won’t because government health care “reform” (really a government take over of 1/7 of the economy) will be a complete boondogle like most government programs. Can you point to one instance of anything that government has done well in the last 3+ decades?
The intellectually honest answer is NO and the DOZENS of videos and articles below expose the lies and show what a debacle this will be if it passes. I urge you to SEE FOR YOURSELF!
