Does anybody wonder how much money in tax revenue the government will loose if private health insurace companies go out of business, because it has been replaced with a single-payer system? Simply put: when private companies profit, so does the government because they can collect taxes. Even with a government option in place, it will hurt the private insurance companies and some will go out of business. This will be a loose-loose for the companies and goverment.

Why should anyone embrace evil at any level? Because it better to court evil than to do nothing? Thats what the elitists keep telling their constituents.

There is a lot of noise in the Blogisphere from folks who have the audacity to manage their own risk. Citizens are Sovereign here. I am the closest thing to a King there is in America. I say no.

THEY want to decide who is going to GET CARE AND WHO IS not. I think they will try to take over the minds of our children they already want to come into your home to tell you how to raise your kids. Also did anyone notice they do not respect women by extended mamograms alot of my patients would not be alive if they had to wait until 50yrs. Also what about tax on doctors that do plastic surgery? Isn't that prejudice? After they tell you what you can eat, drive, what doctor you will have, what you will pay for rationed care, whats next, while they do anything they want, they will have the best, is this what is called spreading the wealth? OH! I forgot and you will be without money because after all you need to support the people that just don't feel like working. Maybe you could work two jobs. I remember in obamas campain speech he said you will just have to do without pizza on Friday nights. And can you believe people still voted for him. Now it all makes sense. I hope voters wise up the next time around. VOTE THEM ALL OUT KEEP OUR CONSITUTION KEEP YOUR FREEDOM DO NOT LET YOUR LIFE BE CUT SHORT BY NOT GETTING PROPER HEALTH CARE.

Yes but we have to be very careful. Look what happened in France with theirs. A revolution should be a last resort and look who our founding fathers were? Do we have anyone like them to lead us now?

Today's AZ Republic has article stating several health facilities will no longer take Medicare payments...among them The Mayo Clinic's Arrowhood Family Practice in the West Valley. Other health facilities mentioned are also in the west valley, all near Sun City where all residents are senior citizens. Who will be next?

It is about total control of the American People. If we have another election we can through the weasels out of office, but best we don't elect more of the same. I'm hoping and praying we have another election. This Health Care Bill isn't about health care. It is about total control of the American People.
