Why is it that the proposed health care bill allows the government to have direct access to my bank account, as it says, "for the purpose of transfering into or out of the accounts in real time."? <br /><br />There are many questions I have since reading this bill that center primarily on government taking control of my life.

I volunteer as much as I possibly can, helping out with coaching youth sports, constructing playground equipment, serving food at St. Patricks to the homeless. (wow conservatives actual do this? "YES WE DO" and we dont feel the need to have it published, to attempt to make us look good) You say you enjoy quality health insurance and feel everyone should have that opportunity? Why? I am self employed I pay high premiums every month for insurance that is anything but premium insurance! Is it an entitlement granted to me as a US citizen, to have you, and others pay for my insurance? "NO"! I chose to work for what I have, my home, my cars and yes my insurance. Do you believe that the coverage you currently have will be there when Obama Care arrives? Do not be foolish your employer will see that he or she can save 15-20% simply by paying the government an 8% penalty and will drop that great plan you currently have. The government has proven throughout history that when they attempt to control or regulate anything all they do is make it worse. I can say that we need to work on this subject intensly to stop not only the rising cost but the fraud that is a major part of these high cost. This is simple, lets stop the high powered "Trail Attorneys" (LIBERALS) from sueing everyone, Dont allow those who are illegal to have medical coverage, and let people like me have the chioce to chose. You had also said that I had my chance the last eight years? I would not disagree that "W" was an idiot such is life but you also must agree Mr. Obama is not as you have labeled him "The Messiah"! Good luck to you in your healthcare venture, though we may not agree on political issues I do appreciate the time you took to debate this subject and believe it or not I do respect your opinionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-49363519526419164622009-08-31T20:32:11.586-05:002009-08-31T20:32:11.586-05:00Anon 7:49: Say it without profanity, or say it som...Anon 7:49: Say it without profanity, or say it somewhere else.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17542901376907047448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-68208063220254473032009-08-31T20:28:24.018-05:002009-08-31T20:28:24.018-05:00Addendum to the comment from Diana Kovacs addressi...Addendum to the comment from Diana Kovacs addressing Anon 7:16.<br /><br />Or you could take all of your self-righteous indignation and go scream at one of these people who you don't believe are worthy of health care.

I am employed and enjoy wonderful health benefits. <br /><br />Many people in this country are not as fortunate as I am, and I feel like part of my responsibility as a member of this society is to care for those who are less fortunate and who have had a rough time and need some help. If this means some people looking for a handout also get help, so be it. <br /><br />Also, it seems that you forget that President Obama and other democratic lawmakers were elected in November by overwhelming majorities. You lost. You had the last eight years to do things your way, and now it is time to try things the liberal democratic way for a while. <br /><br />Instead of whining about things you don't like, do something positive.

This would be the situation for my family if we were not so fortunate as to get coverage through an employer. Nevertheless, that coverage decreases every year, and the price increases every year.<br /><br />This bill is meant to bring insurance to middle class workers who cannot obtain insurance in the current system, and free those middle class workers (like myself) who will soon have to choose between mortgage and health.<br /><br />You are either an ignorant coward or a cowardly fear-monger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-30025956859790884042009-08-31T19:43:27.965-05:002009-08-31T19:43:27.965-05:007:37

They came to power as "populist pro-business" and they ruled as "nationalist corporatist." The Nazis did away with the majority of the existing German government, made direct alliances with private industry, and lifted up the church as a the most important cultural element in the country. (of course, they insisted on a Nazi-friendly church doctrine)<br /><br />Hmmmm. Supports big business to the detriment of workers and small business. Ridiculous nationalism. Enormous military spending. Overwhelming investment in religious and cultural symbolism. Sounds a <b>lot</b> like conservatism.<br /><br />I'm sure the confusion comes from the fact that conservatives don't understand the difference between (in the one hand) being in <i>the minority of a Democracy</i>, and (on the other hand) being in <i>the dissent against a direct dictatorship with complete authority over a <b>massive</b> military with domestic paramilitary agencies.</i><br /><br />Of course you should be <b>excused</b> for your ignorance.

Please pass this message along to the entire country, and then the Republicans will never win another election.<br /><br />Also, I <b>really</b> hope that this debate stretches into Flu season. Because then we can watch the Republicans try to kill health reform while the uninsured ghettos of the nation become breeding grounds for exotic strands of deadly flu which spread out into the food supply, into the mail, into mass transit.

Do you seriously believe that we would not have spent a million dollars - ten million doillars - to keep Ted Kennedy alive for another month (with the potential that it could be longer but I'm being generous here).
