The Government interested in our health care system should scare you to death...pardon the pun. The United States health care system represents 16% of our total economy. That's represents alittle over 2 trillion dollars. I know our Congress has desensitized us to large sums of money, but a trillion dollars is a massive amount of money. Regardless, this isn't about health care. It's not about, as Obama says, "Preventing anyone from standing in between you and the care you need." This is simply about a political party using health care as a pawn for increasing their power. If you know anything about government or health care, you know this is tragedy waiting to happen. I know this sounds a little redundant to previous posts, but this is a critical issue. Yesterday in New Hampshire, President Obama held a forum/town hall meeting to push his health care reform. If you watched it, you saw nothing that resembled the other town hall meetings. Why? Well, because they limited the crowd to staunch democrats and Obama campaign contributors.
Below is a "random" (yeah right) question by a young girl whose mother happens to be an attorney and large sum contributor to the Obama campaign. Nothing about this chance question is chance. Nothing about this town hall being filled with smiling happy people is chance. This was simply a PR move by Obama to try and fool ignorant uninformed voters. This reform is losing steam every day yet Obama continues to ignore the American people and force this into law.
There was one bright spot though. During the town hall yesterday in New Hampshire, Obama tried to compare the private sector competing against government programs. I know he wishes he could take it back, but this is what he said:
"They do it all the time. UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. It's the Post Office that's always having problems."
No shit Sherlock. This is exactly what we've been trying to tell you in town hall meetings all around the United States...that is unless you hand pick your audience and ban the opposers from being there and asking questions. The fact that Obama expects us to believe that we're this stupid pisses me off and it should piss you off too.
