The Democrats are on a total wrong track with HC reform. They really should toss everything aside and start over. The whole idea was to try to lower premiums, to lower costs, and see if more people could be covered. The Dems have chosen to raise the cost of premiums, to raise costs of care, try to have EVERYONE covered (ignoring the fact that none of them, nor us, know exactly who is even in the country), and even trying to FORCE people to buy insurance under penalty, fines and?or jail. IF we are going to have everyone covered under a Basic Catastrophic Illness insurance, then do what they do for SS and Medicare...take a small percentage out of every paycheck. And in the case of people not working, take that same small percentage out of their unemployment checks, or welfare checks. For all other medical situations that happen to people, either they are smart enough to pay for their own coverage, OR they have to pay the medical bills themselves if they are incurred. The Democrats are trying to FORCE on the entire country, a mandated Socialized program that will put everyone in thrall just as much as the people of Russia under Stalin and the people of Germany under Hitler were. If they do end up passing this monster, it would be fitting for every single citizen to rise up and oppose this with as LOUD a voice as possible.
