The democrats want you to believe we are in a full fledged crisis when it comes to healthcare. Nothing could be further from the truth and there is no reason to be in a panic mode and rush to ANY solution! Sure there are some things that need repairing but the lies that are being told to get people on board for a total dismantling of our system are outrageous! I present the followiing article with facts that the democrats don't want anyone to know!

The most recent time I saw her, I think, was on Sean Hannity's program. I didn't pay much attention to how she looked. The thing that bothers me about Ann Coulter is her hair and the way she keeps flipping it back. Forget that. What do you think of her suggestion about bringing the cost of health care down, since cost seems to be the main complaint?

I will be the first to admit that there are some areas in our healthcare which need improving but not the garbage that is getting forced down our throats by the Obamacare Bill.

Whiteheather,
Exactly! That's why we have to be more vocal than ever to defeat this idiotic nightmare!

The truth is health care is out of control. The prices we pay for any type of health care is too much. I can not understand why the cost for a doctor visit is so high. The other thing is if the government would get control of the cost of health care we would be in a better position. I never understood why medication is cheaper in Canada and Mexico than here in the US.
I can not see passing a bill on health care that none of the cogressmen have actually read. If you don't read the bill how do you know if it is good for the people you are responsible for. I tried to read this bill and I am sorry to say I could not understand a word. It seems that the polititions want to keep the every dad joe under his thumb. Why else would they write a bill that we can not understand. I also feel that if we can not understand it there must be something wrong with the bill or these polititions are hidding something.
I am tired of polititions controling my future. These people are supposed to be working for us and they are only working for the money. That is right who ever gives them the most money is who they stand with. This health care bill will not belefit many and it will control who gets medication and when. These decisions should be made by the individual and his or her doctor. This bill is not going to let that happen.
Maybe people should take a step back and say we want these bills and laws writen in plain english for all of us to understand.

I for one am not buying into the propaganda... and neither are a great any others.
That is the reason for the outrage at these Townhall meetings, as people have seen through the lies.

I do not buy anyone's rhetoric about health care. I prefer to read the bill myself and see what fact says not just what politicians say. Any citizen should be reluctant of any health care bill that has the "public option", especially the Democrats. If you look into history, Democrats are trying to fix a problem that was created by their legislation.
Clinton pushed for healthcare reform. This legislation brought us the HMO system. The HMO system led to the higher prices. Insurance takes the captialism out of the market. Doctors can price their services based on what the insurance company can pay not what the individual can pay. This allows prices to go higher. In addition, hospitals have to have a team of people to file the claims and do the paperwork. Individuals use more health care then they would if they were paying out of their pocket. All of this is a recipe for higher prices.
The answer is not the public option. This leads to people having health insurance they are not paying for at all. Now, they will use even more. Causing even more costs. However, these costs would now be paid by the federal government. How long before the federal government is having problems with paying the bills? How do they get the costs down? They cannot drop the people that are abusing the system. They will begin to say which procedures can be done, which prescriptions can be had, etc. Does this really sound like a better system?
