Just get Health Care done.

Well, we all know that Government-Run Health Care leads to Rationing of Care, like the GOP would have us believe right? But the for-profit Health Insurance Companies are the good guys with our best interests in mind of course. Then why is it just yesterday, we hear about a five year old suing it's health insurance company for not paying for his cancer? This sort of thing,"rationing of care" only happens in 3rd world Socialist countries like Britain & Canada, right?

Stories like these are too numerous and too common to even get into. The bottom line is, to buzz words that the GOP likes to use, "rationing of care," & "death panels" already exist. They exist in our current, for profit health insurance companies. This isn't even about the 45 million people that don't have insurance. That's another issue. It's about the rest of us, WITH health insurance.

The fact that we in America are so brainwashed to think that our health care system is so advanced and the rest of the civilized world has it right, is another example of our political ignorance. Americans get exactly what they deserve sometimes.
Why can't we get it right? We spend the most money on Health Care with results similar to Zimbabwe. By 2020, we'll be spending 20% of our GDP on Health Care. Singapore spends 3% and is ranked fifth in the world for health care. And they cover every body.

We do we need to give a company 30% of our Health Care dollars just to deny us when we need them? 30% of this country is already on Government Health Care, it's called MediCare, and it works very well and people that have Medicare are very happy with it.

We need a Single-Payer system that covers every body. Free up the system. Stop people from using the Emergency Room as a their Primary Health Care Doctor. It just makes sense, costs less, has better results and covers everybody.

Offering a Mandate, requiring people to buy insurance is the wrong way to go. Offering more money to the Health Insurance companies with no reform to the system. Republicans have been fighting this bill tooth and nail, and doing a very good job scaring the American People with their lies & bullshit. The people of Massachusetts did not elect Scott Brown to ruin a Health Care bill. Let's talk about Scott Brown & Massachusetts. Mass. already has Universal Health Care. Interestingly enough, Republican Mitt Romney as Governor signed it into law, and Scott Brown, then a State Senator voted for it. 68% of people in Mass. are happy with their Health Care system. The Health Care bill in Congress is essentially that plan. But we have unanimous opposition from the GOP.

Even more interesting, Republicans in the 90's offered a very similar bill as a compromise to the Single Payer proposition that was floating around Congress.
Bob Dole even offered a similar plan. The bill in congress, is essentially a compromised bill. There isn't even a Public Option anymore. But because of Republican Strategy to oppose absolutely any legislation possible, we have unanimous opposition to the bill. Democrats have added and added Republican demands to the bill and still they will not support it. They have watered down the bill to a fraction of what it could've been and they still won't support it. Even though the majority of the bill is things they can support. What is going on in Washington right now, with these bi-partisan talks are just another distraction that the GOP hopes will stall any furthering of Health Care until after the Mid-term elections and by then we may never pass Health Care Reform.

I don't like the bill, but doing nothing would be far worse. We need our Democrats to do the job that they were elected to do, and a big part of that is passing Health Care Reform. Tell your Senator to grow some balls and get it done before it's too late.
