We need a reality check! http://www.whitehouse.gov/realitycheck/?e=10&ref=text

Please check out the link provided for the ACTUAL facts about the

proposed health care reform. I have been fortunate enough to be

covered for 30 years with the best health insurance plan that can be

bought. I have NO FEAR that this will change. If people would do

more studying and reading of facts instead of believing the rumors

and scare tactics put out by the rich and powerful lobbyists and

politicians, then maybe they could see the truth.



Truthfully, it saddens me to read all these posts on facebook about

"socialized" health care. Do people not realize that we already have

the most ineffective socialized health care in the world and it is

called medicare, medicaid, and SSI benefits. All of the people who

currently are covered by these programs will RECEIVE better care

not less! Study what is being proposed, people!



And to those that say the government is ineffective..........

The Government Can't Do Anything Right? Really?!?


This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the Public Power Monopoly regulated by the US Department of Energy. I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the Municipal Water Utility. After that, I turned on the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the National Weather Service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration determined the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. I watched this while eating my breakfast of US Department of Agriculture inspected food and taking the drugs which have been determined as safe by the Food and Drug Administration.At the appropriate time as regulated by the US congress and kept accurate by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the US Naval Observatory, I get into my National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approved automobile and set out to work on the roads build by the local, state, and federal Departments of Transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the Environmental Protection Agency, using legal tender issued by the Federal Reserve Bank. On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the US Postal Service and drop the kids off at the public school.After spending another day not being maimed or killed at work thanks to the workplace regulations imposed by the Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, enjoying another two meals which again do not kill me because of the USDA, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, to my house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and fire marshal’s inspection, and which has not been plundered of all its valuables thanks to the local Police Department.I then log on to the internet which was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration and post on freerepublic.com and Fox News forums about how SOCIALISM in medicine is BAD because the government can’t do anything right.





I can't think of a MORE INEFFECTIVE government sponsored

program than the so-called "drug program" initiated by George

W. Bush. As outlined by 60 MINUTES, it lined the pockets of

the congress that voted it in (and all the members that then left

congress and went to work for the drug companies!), the drug

companies, and insurance companies. BILLIONS of dollars

exchanged hands and none of it was beneficial to the people

who needed it most.



We need to wake up and examine that the health insurers,

health care providers, drug companies, and national drug

store companies are the most POWERFUL people in this

country and are responsible for most of the inaccurate and

scary information being floated around as fact.



The innocent children of this country need to be insured.

The elderly deserve to have access to medicine and health

care without having to give up their grocery money. Quit

believing all the propaganda put out by the Fox News

anchors and Rush Limbaugh. USE YOUR BRAIN!!!!
