Speaker Pelosi’s Government-Run Health Plan Will Require a Monthly Abortion Premium

Health care reform should not be used as an opportunity to use federal funds to pay for elective abortions. Health reform should be an opportunity to protect human life - not end it. More

The public option mirage

According to a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) study of the House bill, only 6 million Americans would be enrolled in the public option by the time it's fully phased in, in 2019.

I don't know about anyone else, but this 6 million Americans number tells me that Democrats know that that is the true number of the uninsured.

A focus on making health insurance more affordable is much better than a public option because after all, isn't that the argument that people have about not having it? I love (not) the way that the government (current administration) wants to be OUR daddy and provide something for us as oppose to leaving us alone so we can behave as adults and so we can take responsibility for our own actions. Most of the uninsured are those who are young and believe that they are invisible...hmm, but these same young people have brand new cars, satellite radio, satellite TV or cable, cell phones, laptops, brand name clothes, get manicures/pedicures (both sexes), get waxed...etc. these services all have a high cost and they seem to be more important than health insurance.

Any time the government wants to take over any service that should be our responsibility, vote NO! Trust me you will be better for it! No wonder people in this country act like children instead of adults!

Here's Why the Public Plan Won't Work

Trading 50 sets of state regulations for federal regulations that are even more restrictive would eliminate private competitors. Instead of letting a thousand flowers bloom, the president wants to uproot the garden. More

Life

In order to understand the healthcare debate, which we in the U.S. are fighting for, we must start at the beginning, what is healthcare trying to accomplish; preserve life.

Life; “The quality that distinguishes a vital and functional being from a dead body” (Merriam-Webster Dictionary). Life is a state of being alive and through out history we have found that people cherish life because they have always sought a way of ridding themselves from diseases or that which would cut life short. The value of something is determined by the cost someone is willing to pay for it and we spend billions of dollars a year on healthcare for the single reason of extending life. Why is it so important? Why do people want to hold on to it so desperately?
