To those people defending this monstrosity:

1) What health care bill are you looking at? I’m looking at this 2k page monstrosity that is going to be passed by a legislative trick ome constitutional scholars call illegal.

2) Why are you supporting curing the effect and not the cause? The reason we need health insurance is because costs are too high. Why not look at why costs are so high? One of the primary reasons of high cost is lawsuits. Therefore, what is called tort reform. But, the Democrats don’t want to even touch tort reform because one of their biggest money sources is trial lawyers.

Another big expense is pharmaceuticals. Oh, surprise – big pharma happened to be one of Obama’s biggest contributors. Can’t touch them.

3) On top of all of this, even if single payer was in the bill – not everyone is covered still.

4) Another way to cut costs would be to allow insurance companies compete across state lines. You can buy your car insurance from Geiko, or State Farm, or Progressive who are based in other states, why not your health insurance? Oh, wait. Can’t do that, as that might introduce the most hated thing of all – capitalism – to the market.

5) We are being lied to about the cost of this. The figures provided to the CBO has been found to be only part of the cost. Much of the cost of this is right now being funded by a reduction in payouts to Medicare reimbursements. We already have one major drug store chain shutting down new Medicaid prescriptions in Washington state.

But, in order to get the AMA on board, in the summer it is already planned to revoke these provisions for doctors, specifically. That is $300 billion more right there that we’re being snowballed on, which puts the increase of the deficit by this bill by $200 billion.

Furthermore, the bill does not include any discretionary spending at all, to support the package though it is referenced heavily in the bill. That could balloon the cost of this dog of a bill by two to three times, easily.

6) Stop invoking religion to defend this bill. Christians are told to ignore apostates and heretics and their rantings. Because you attack us, it is obvious you fall into either these categories or are of another religion altogether. Your tactic makes you condescending, yet does not contribute at all to the discussion because we are the biggest contributors to charities that do exactly what you want the government to do. Jesus said to help the poor and infirm, but never told us to allow Caesar to do so.
