I spent most of Saturday watching C-SPAN and protesting the ObamaCare vote. There was bipartisan opposition to the bill, but the Liberals that control Congress, with a vote of 220 to 215, won. And with that liberty took one of her final gasps.
I had to apologize to my son after the vote. We failed him. And it is his and his childrens’ generation that will pay the consequences. I’m not opposed to health care reform, but I am opposed to the destruction of liberty. Liberty that my son is promised by the Constitution. Liberty that at 11pm this evening, the House of Representatives voted to take away.
If you don’t think this is a serious issue, READ THE BILL. Read the mandated fines that you will pay if you don’t opt-in to the system. And if you fail to pay the fines, read about possibility of a $250.000 penalty and 5 year prison sentence. Read about the sweeping powers of Health Commissions to force you into plan, force you out of the plan you currently have, force you into specific coverages, doctors or treatments. Study the drastic increases in taxes that will come from this bill. Understand that premiums for people my age and younger will double. Consider how it would feel to have a government bureaucrat deny your request for experimental treatment or life-saving surgery.
If the bill was so good, why did they have to vote on it at 11pm on a Saturday night? If the bill was so good, why didn’t the majority give us 72 hours to read the entire bill including all amendments as promised? If the bill was so great, why was the there bipartisan OPPOSITION to the bill with only one Republican vote in favor?
Yes America, we need health care reform. Tonight proved we need to reform Congress first. Representative Joseph Cao of Louisiana, we’re coming after you first.
