The American people don't want a government takeover of healthcare

Today, Congressman Sam Johnson (3rd. Dist.—Texas) called out his Democrat colleagues for refusing to answer to the American people on healthcare reform. While national polls report that 73% of Americans do not want Congress to pass the current bill, Speaker Pelosi, Senator Reid and the President seem as gung-ho as ever to pass a government takeover of healthcare.

Most Americans are happy with their healthcare and they dont want the government meddling in it. That said, everyone agrees that some changes need to be made. Thats why Republicans are anxious to meet with a blank sheet of paper to come up with a bill that addresses the needs of the American people. Sadly, the Democrats are set in their ways, stated Johnson.

Johnson is upset that Speaker Pelosi has remarked that some of her colleagues may need to sacrifice their jobs to pass healthcare reform.

We were put in Congress to do the will of the American people, not to push an agenda, said Johnson.
Johnson represents portions of Dallas and Collin counties.

Remarks as prepared for delivery:
I think that after yet another healthcare speech by the President, the American people are sick and tired of the democrats I know whats best for you attitude.

Congress needs to wake up and realize that Americans know more about their healthcare needs than government bureaucrats.

They know exactly what a Washington takeover of healthcare means and theyre shouting from the rooftops: no no no!

It is time for the president and Speaker Pelosi to realize that this policy debate isnt between Democrats and Republicans.

It is between the Democrats and the American people.

And the American people are saying enough is enough.

They dont want a healthcare bill that raises taxes, stifles small businesses, increases insurance premiums and cuts Medicare.

In Stunning Reversal, administration now defends health care insurance mandate as a( TAX )

07/18/2010

WASHINGTON — When Congress required most Americans to obtain health insurance or pay a penalty, Democrats -Denied- that they were creating a new Tax. But in court, the Obama administration and its allies now defend the requirement as an exercise of the government’s “power to lay and Collect Taxes.” Obama Swore Up and Down that the insurance mandate was Not a Tax.

Riiiiight, Bull Shit!!!

@Britton001 That is a stupid comparison.

There's no Constitutional right for the politicians to force this upon us.

@Britton001 Slavery was a moral violation of a person's right to be free - that's why it needed to go. But nobody has the moral right to force another man to pay for their health care. Even if the majority wanted it (which they don't), it would still be wrong.

[Britton001]

So what? Most of the American people didn't want to abolish slavery, either.

This is good. Congress didn't wake up, but they will when it's too late in november.

[pokheiyung]
