As congress returns to capitol hill there is no doupt a lot needs to be done.Especially in the area of health care reform. I humbly offer this quote from a great American that shines a light on the current situation and also cuts right thru a lot of darkness: "one of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine" Ronald Reagan. (hat tip to fellow blogger crossbow for the info) I do not have to go into much detail on the reaction of so many Americans to what is being proposed in Washington. At townhall meetings, phone calls, and e-mails Americans are rising UP because the facts are getting OUT!!!There are many "dirty little secrets" in this 1000 page monster that many lawmakers do not even know about because so many of them did'nt even READ it!and they are full ready supporting it??? Who wants a government official "helping" me to raise my childern??what "values" will the government instill in them??It is almost just like a cold war episode of "the twilight zone" but this is very real and happening now.( an excellent article by action star Chuck Norris uncovers many of these "dirty little secrets" in this thing) There have been proposals already offered that will work that DO NOT create a national government insurance agency to dictate who gets health care....and more frightenly ...who does not. One such alternative -the Patient's Choice Act of 2009, would give EVERY American access to private health care. This plan puts power in OUR hands-not government bureaucrats or insurance executives (HEY-WE the people..a Revolutionary idea) The plan does not grow our national dept and is paid for by not raising taxes.If you need it-you can get it EVEN if you have pre-existing conditions.One of the co-sponsors is Tom Coburn a DOCTOR. How about that!! Now that congress is back in session the quote from Reagan is just as real as if he said it today!!!For me the voices from Americans at the townhalls said it all--Reform--yes---"Big Brother" NO.
