Govt. Debt

Well, Nancy Polluter has presented a 2,000-page of monstrous health care legislation onto the citizens of the country. This pile of bovine excrement was only equaled before when Paul Bunyan's Blue Ox, Babe, passed by. This Wicked Witch of the West is bound and determined to steal billions of dollars from the citizens as a socialist redistribution of wealth and government control of your lives. With unemployment going up and incomes going down, the citizens are being stretched now and can't afford any new government debt.

You see people who want this health care to pass and I'm trying to surmise their reasoning. Could it be greed or need? If the persons that want this health care think that it will be free then they are delusional. Apparently, it will be free only to all those who are on welfare and illegal aliens. My wife and I are on SS and any increase in taxes or health costs will not allow us any extra expenditures. It galls me to think that we will have to pay for these peoples health care. If a government health care is passed, then everyone that is covered under this care should pay the same amount money per year for that care whether they are illegal or on welfare.

The legislature for this health care must state that they cannot run this program at a loss, and no tax money can be used to pay for it. Anyone who is under this plan must receive proper care and cannot be denied because of age or illness. This would prevent rationing. No citizen can be forced to join or penalized for not joining. If this plan is adopted all government employees must enroll unless they decide on their own non-government insurance plan. This means the Congress as well as the Whitehouse and Supreme Court. Do you think a Socialist Congress and Government would pass this? Don't hold your breath.

Have you noticed how well the liberals like to spend your hard earned money? They can waltz into Congress or elected government positions do their damage leave and get their full salary and insurance after they leave. The taxpayers are paying millions out to ex-congressmen or government officials every year as pensions. A representative that is in office only two years leaves with the complete package. Another thing none can be held responsible for any of the damages that they do while in office.

Do these persons that want free health care have a cell phone, telephone, car or truck, maybe both, flat screen TV, computer, or do they smoke, drink alcohol in any form, a place to live and or take vacation trips. Maybe they have a camper or any camping equipment go hunting or fishing any thing that they spend their income on. If you can say yes to half or more then you don't deserve free health care anymore than any other person or persons. So it comes down to greed and laziness. Health care is a very expensive burden on everyone and I as a citizen do not feel that I am special and deserve free care. Because of size limitations I can't continue this letter.
