You lefties always seem to leave out the consequences that naturally follow your rosey predictions....Did you read this part of your post? Consequences Despite the kudos, local leaders also warn of pitfalls and unintended consequences that can come with the changes. Many recall how a state provision barring insurers from imposing waiting periods for pre-existing conditions caused insurers to abandon the individual insurance market. At a local car dealership recently, Curry overheard two sales reps discussing the federal law, which would fine people for not having health coverage, but forbids insurers from denying them a policy, even if they are already ill. One sales rep told the other: "No problem. I'll drop my insurance and pay the penalty if I get sick." Others worry about a looming shortage of primary-care doctors. "Some folks who get an insurance card will find it's nice to have in the wallet, but it won't get you into a doctor," Curry predicts. State Medicaid officials predict as many as 500,000 new recipients could be added by 2014, overloading already strained primary-care providers. "We're aware of how we're going to have to wrestle with this," Gantz says. "It's clearly going to be on our radar screen."

received this e-mail I agree with Obama's campaign statement that it's time for change. This morning on Fox radio, they played a sound bite from a U.S. Congressman from Illinois and in regards to the health bill; he is on record as saying "I don't care what the U.S. Constitution says". I've attached a copy of the oath of office for members of congress...you be the judge. This is not the first time I've heard an elected official say this, or something like it during the past several months. Read, then re-read the first line of the oath and remember it when you enter the polling booth in November. “I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
