Did You Even Read The Health Care Bill?

More like, "Did you read the Health Care Insurance Reform Bill?

Polls show that over 90% of the people polled have insurance and are satisfied with their health care.

Furthermore, fully 79 percent think if health care legislation is passed they personally will pay more in taxes, 1 percent think their taxes will decrease and 18 percent expect no change. Large majorities of those living in both higher income and lower income households believe their taxes will go up.

Nearly half of Americans (45 percent) think the quality of their family's health care would be worse under the current proposed reforms. That is significantly higher than the number (29 percent) who say they would get better quality health care under the proposed plans. Another 17 percent expect no difference.

Also on the personal level, some 58 percent think health care reforms would cost them money -- that's twice the number who say the reforms would save them money (24 percent).

Another reason for the public's hesitancy in embracing reform is that people are pretty happy with their current health care arrangements, and other issues are seen as more important.

Most Americans say they have health care insurance (91 percent), and a large 84 percent majority rates the quality of their insurance as excellent or good. Moreover, more than 8 in 10 (83 percent) rate the quality of the health care they currently receive as excellent or good. And if they were sick or seriously ill, most people say they would rather be in the current privately-run health care system (64 percent) than in a government-run system (19 percent).

By a wide 64 percentage point margin, Americans say fixing the economy and creating jobs (76 percent) should be a higher priority for the federal government right now than reforming health care (12 percent).

How many television hucksters rush you to buy something because the opportunity will not last? How many used car salesmen have told you that you that you need to sign on the dotted line without fully reading the contract because the details are simply boilerplate? When was the last time some stock broker showed you the numbers for just the first few years of a loan repayment because the investment will pay for itselfdespite a huge balloon payment coming up? Welcome to health care reform, President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid-style.

Speaking at a town hall event earlier this month, Obama said, For those who say, 'Well, you know what, this is something that is very complicated, so we shouldn't rush into it,' that's what happens in Congress all the time. The President believes health care reform is something we should rush, even though it is very complicated. More recently, he said, I just want to put everybody on notice, because there was a lot of chatter during the week that I was gone: We are going to get this done. Why is the President is using the same tactics as the predatory lenders and television hucksters?

I am no longer a silent American. I am often calling congress people who make good comments or stupid comments.  I support nothing chairman obama or the democrat party stands for today.

However, I wish the Republican Party would grow a back bone.

[originalmetalchick]

I don't think congress knows how to read

[toyotas2006]

Saves $1,000,000,000,000 off the Federal Deficit

And what did the GOP (Give Obama Problems) do to cut the Deficit?

Oh...........

[thephysicwerewolf]

@1Tarz isn't it the democrats that need a backbone?

[stiehler1117]

What can I do? Obama and his administration obviously don't care what the American public has to say. The only thing we can do is vote these criminals out

[Anarchoi89]

@stiehler1117 Then do something about it.

[stiehler1117]

I truly am ashamed to be an America ruled by this administration. My family fought for this country and this is where we are today. It is absolutely heartbreaking.

[esgatch]

Yep, that's what the fedgov wants, is a bunch of taxpaying zombies who will forfeit their rights. Ever notice how manistream media just spins the issue from left to right, while Congress just goes on with business as usual, insulting us that the health care bill will be a christmans present for americans. What a joke. They know the representatives that vote for the bill won't get re-elected. They've got to be planning a crash.

[LoryLandskipper]

dude, we're awake.  We can't do anything about it though. Time to go back to sleep, droning on as zombies to work our lives away propping up the system.

[common380]

The same reason bugs and mismatched code are put in computer programs, if you give them a working product you can't make money down the road "fixing" it.

[leathertanner]

You seem smart....so why did you vote for the two party machine?

[leathertanner]

No, they didn't read it because they don't care what it says.
