While on vacation, I've listened to numerous politicians and talking heads discuss their positions on health care reform in the form of HR 3200. The government would make my medical decisions; granny would face death panels or be euthanized; and someone would decide what care I, as a person with disabilities, would be eligible to receive. It will throw the federal government into trillions of dollars in debt.
However, I have been educated by Democratic congressmen and senators, as well as progressive talk show hosts on MSNBC, and reporters on CNN. HR 3200 is a work in progress and that the president will not sign any bill which does not pay for itself. The bill prevents the insurance industry excluding care for pre-existing conditions--something I especially appreciate. A Republican congressman, who now opposes the bill, inserted the clause promising any senior wanting it can discuss end-of-life care with a health care professional not unlike the Living Will which I drafted with an attorney.
The vast majority of congressmen and senators fighting this bill are recipients of campaign contributions from the insurance industry and big Pharma. Their opposition must be seen in light of this influence. The green of these monies distorts their vision.
Those who listen to the likes of Rush Limbaugh and these politicians are duped. Read the HR 3200 in its present form--not as filtered through Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, or Republican politicians. You will only learn the truth by reading the bill.
God Bless You
