Are we supposed to wait until there is a bill passed to question its merits, if any? Are we supposed to wait until the Doctor tells us he will no longer accept Medicare or insurance for payment and you will have to come up with the $$$ for treatments and diagnosis up front?
How many seniors will be able to afford to fund the up front payment? How many seniors will forego their annual well check-up to save the extra $$$? How many will forego necessary surgery, treatments, and medications which would have given them a better quality of life to save the $$$ that our congress so willing hands out to pork projects and foreign governments who don't even offer so much as a thank you?
Once this legislation is passed, can it ever be reversed? Those who are pushing for a quick passage of these unread and unknown bills to be paid for by the hard working American people can well afford the above scenario. Our seniors cannot. Those who are try to foister Obamacare down our throats have little regard for anyone who is not part of their political base. Simply, they are NOT listening to the majority of the American electorate.
The time to make your voice heard is now and not take a wait and see position. This is not a political issue but an alert as to what people ought be thinking and considering, at least in part.
To bury this issue in the political forum is a disservice to us all. Consider,where will the money come from? What sacrafices will we be willing to make and at what expense? Who, will in fact, be the beneficiaries of this legislation?
Is all of this a diversionary tactic i.e., the Stimulus and bailout packages, wherein monies are being diverted to other programs and agencies which the powers that be are spending, nay, giving, to their cronies for useless projects under the guise of JOBS (Just OBama's Sidekicks)? Watch not what they say but where the money goes.
