On Facebook, the grassroots Status for today was, "No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick. If you agree, please post this as your status for the rest of the day.". So what does it mean? As per usual Obama-speak, it actually means nothing of value. Simply put, if you think that poor people are dying because they don't get proper medical care, then pass the Healthcare Reform and the government will take care of them. Really?! Seriously?!
How could the government possibly take care of them? We have a government instituted and funded program called Medicare. It is wildly out of control on spending, rules and regulations, and abuse. Along with this program, we have Social Security that is all but bankrupt and borrowing against everything and everyone, including the future. Where is the fiscal responsibility? Where is the accountability? Where is the better-run services? Now President Obama wants to take over even more healthcare demands for an entire nation? With what money? Who is going to make the decisions of life and death? How is it to be administered? Are they going to issue National ID cards? And what of the people who do not belong in this country, such as visitors from Mexico? Who is going to pay for their healthcare?
I cannot believe how many questions keep coming up and yet no one from the Obama administration will answer them. Clearly, our opinion as the people of the United States of America no longer matter. Apparently, a "...government of the people, by the people, for the people..." as written in the Gettysburg Address, by Abraham Lincoln, no longer has value or strength in this great nation.
Questions abound, answers are scarce!
