Don’t Sneeze Now, But Health Care Is Here
December 10, 2009
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has announced a deal among Democrats he says will allow a health care reform bill to be passed. He won't tell us what's in it. He says we can trust him. Would you trust a politician to take better care of you than you can?
Whatever happened to transparency? Where is the C-SPAN coverage the Obama administration had promised?
Even allegedly pro-life senators, including Reid, have voted to maintain the abortion funding provision. What does this tell you? It tells me that politicians consider themselves more important than the unborn and the elderly, whose lives will also be regarded as less valuable than healthier, younger people.
This is a fraud, a sham and an outrage that is about to be perpetrated on the American people. Republicans don't have the votes to stop it because they failed the last time they had the majority and the White House. You had better hope and pray you stay healthy because with this bill the Grim Reaper will soon be at your door.
