And some more on this health bill total disaster that this President allowed to pass over all the objections of the american people using blackmail and backroom politics that does not even address costs which HE SAID was the purpose.

There are those who favor reducing costs by ACTUALLY REFORMING the industry and then we have....well, this today.....

"On the other side are what you might call the “governmentalists.” The governmentalists believe the way to “bend the cost-curve” is with a centralized, government-led effort to micromanage the entire $2.6 trillion health sector from Washington, D.C.

President Obama, his top aides, and his allies in Congress are all quite clearly health-care governmentalists. The evidence for this is on full display in the bill they jammed through the legislative process. It is filled to the brim with provisions that shift power and authority away from states, individuals, employers, and the private sector to the federal government.

The federal government is now the nationwide regulator of all private health insurance. Federal bureaucrats can pick and choose which insurers are allowed to sell to customers in government-managed “markets.” The federal government will determine what health benefits every citizen and legal resident must secure to avoid paying a punitive tax. The federal government will also decide the appropriate level of cost-sharing for government-certified insurance products."

This bill will INCREASE costs, not decrease them...mark it down. This bill will be an albatross around the neck of the country as long as it is on the books.

And in closing...

" Although President Obama is quite clearly a committed and enthusiastic health-care governmentalist, he has never admitted as much in public, nor is he ever likely to. He avoids engaging in direct debate over the merits of his position with the market-based reformers. Instead, he argues, as he did at the so-called “bipartisan summit” back in February, that there is no great disagreement over substance; it’s just that those dastardly Republicans are against progress on his watch.

In a way, it’s hard to blame him for ducking the fight. The entire governmentalist reform program is based on the assumption that the federal government has the capacity to nimbly manage the health sector and to cut out unnecessary spending without harming the quality of care.

This bill will cause folks who could not afford insurance before but do not meet that criteria set by a few and directed at a selective audience whose bills we already pay...it will cause them an extra expense to either pay for it or pay the government for not having it.

Another oppourtunity wasted by this administration who is ONLY interested in political power....nothing more !!
