Kill (the) Bill

I like to have an image to go along with my blog posts. Google image search for "kill the bill" gives me a series of Kill Bill images for results. So that's why the title and the movie poster.


They're going to vote on the health care bill in a couple hours and it looks like, by most accounts that it will pass despite overwhelming opposition. That's depressing as hell. The President is promoting socialist ideals and a vote for this bill is a vote for socialism. The Democrats should rename themselves the Socialist party after this. Health care whether we're talking about providers or the insurance industry is run in our county by the people and if this gets passed that will no longer be the case. This bill will lead to the government taking over health care....from the people. The government will eventually control essentially every part of it. Health care provider compensation to insurance coverage mandates to cost controls and the list goes on and on.


Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.


The above is the definition of the word socialism from the American Heritage dictionary.

You would have to be a fool to believe that improving health care quality and reducing its' cost are the goals of this legislation. This is all about a power grab. If the Democrats...err socialists that currently are in control of our government put the healthcare feather in their cap, it's a game changer for sure. Get ready for taxes and more taxes along with reduced quality and availability of health care. And I should not neglect to mention the effects of this legislation on our economy. Caterpillar calculates that this will cost them 100 million in the first year alone. The weak economic climate we already have certainly won't strengthen if this legislation is enacted.

Reagan once said, "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'". I could not agree more.
